Our normal summer temperatures are up in the 90's so I'm a little concerned about overheating.

I left the car on between runs because by the time we changed the numbers, checked tire pressures, and swaped drivers, we only had a few minutes left before we were up again. Should I just shut if off after we return to grid?

BTW watching all those autox vids are great. Your lots are huge. It makes the WDCR lot look like a postage stamp.
I haven't noticed temps when I co-drive with my son. I usually open the hood between runs. A few weeks ago though I did notice the Star Specs (my first season on them) got a bit greasy.

Come to Citizen's Bank Park this Sunday where we combine lots for nice runs - http://www.phillyscca.com/forum/view...php?f=8&t=7417
