It's not so much oil temp that V is worried about...it's oil starvation. The design of most GM V8's is to sling oil away from the pickup. Smbstyle probably won't experience those problems at his first track event...and his instructor will have the same car. Hopefully they can talk through some upgrades that keep the motor lubed.
It's a great point to bring up. Smbstyle, be sure to post back what suggestions you receive so we can pass them along to our friend (with a G8 ).
