Is there a way to just come out and watch? My 7 needs some TLC-flush, plugs, hoses, etc, before I drive it hard. But I would like to come out and see the event.

It's FREE to go watch.
I would go to track, but the heat and the RX13 don't mix.

Still gotta build my car back up and +1 on it being too hot to be on the track. Maybe around September the car will be ready.

Cool

I did 2 weeks ago ECR and the heat was so brutal, my waste gate vaccum hose melted.
Never doing a Summer event again.
My coolant/oil/intake temps were awesome.
When I ran out of water injection, then the intake temp jumped to about 65*C (149*F).
The coolant/oil started going up, but never went beyond 100*C for coolant and 98*C for the oil.

I'm not looking forward to the heat but since I already commited to instruct, I can't back out.

Keith, I'll be there 10/10/10. I'm not doing anymore driving school from June-August. It's way too hot and not worth it.

I know you were committed, but now you know what I meant.
