Yea don't do it after you been running autocross for an hour ... the engine is way beyond warm/hot
We did the compression test again after I drove it to the shop, had done some repairs and the engine had the proper time to cool down to a reasonable temprature for testing. Because like you stated you want the rings expanded for accuracy.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
