New Video from my first track/ TA event of the season. I took first place in my class and first overall (25 cars). The car worked amazing!

^Best time of a 1:13.9 in the video.
What a crazy past weekend! I celebrated my 30th birthday while driving at Firebird International raceway at the NASA AZ/Modified Magazine Annual Event. This event is by far one of the coolest events in the region. It is day/night event with over 16+ hours of racing, 2 different race tracks and a ton of down to earth people. This event was the Evo's second race since the build this winter. The car performed amazing never once giving me any grief. I ran 6 TTU sessions and 2 Time Attacks during the event with my final Time Attack taking place at 12:30 in the morning
Major thumbs up to MA Performance built motor/turbo. I beat the living hell out of the car each session (8500 rpm shifting all day baby). The only issue I had on my car was my Defi Oil Pressure gauge decided to freak out on me during a session of TT, luckily I have a oil pressure switch light as a back up so I was able to run. Oh Carbotech XP-20's are beyond *****in. Never once did I experience any form for pedal loss or fade even after repeated 140+ mph stops on firebird main. Three inch ducting plus XP-20's equal a wicked brake combo IMO for stock calipers.
On to the good part the results:
I placed first in class/overall in both UMS Time Attacks. I also set a new TA-C record for West track and Main track
What surprised me the most was a 2nd place finish in TTU @ Firebird main with a time of 1:03.295.
I finished 3rd on the west track in TTU.
I need a little more power to hang with the TTU Vipers

So my oil temps where a little high last race so purchased a small 7" fan on the oil cooler with a relay and switch. Curious to see if it helps (can't hurt) Have about $25.00 invested in the whole thing.
The fan I got off of Amazon.
Switch and panel I made.
Fan mounted up:
