AX builds a ton of heat because it’s 60sec of max aggression with little wind and then just sit and heat soak. We do need tires to work cold, but that doesn’t mean that heat isn’t a constant concern.

We cool tires after even first runs to make sure by last runs they aren’t so hot they grease up.
Maybe where you run is different. But my region we have about 15-20 minutes between runs. So everything cools off for the most part.

Yeah. It's why I never go. Takes a 6:30am-5pm day to get your 7-8 runs in, as well as working the course for 3-4 hours. It's painfully painful.

track day or autox day, its all just a few seconds of managing turns
3-4 hrs working the course is bad! 1hr max over here. in some clubs we can even buy no-work assignments

Oh, hell no. We were usually done by 1pm or so. Autocross is not something I would want to do all day. Being a half day long event was part of what made acceptable for me.

found my squeak. not endlinks, not sway bar bushing greasing, both of which i replaced, but... the makeshift battery tie down that was drilled through the trunk floor on one side was getting loose and the hook was rubbing or moving around or something. caused quite the racket.

i signed up for a ny autocross in a few weeks - will be my first in the area, first in a while. i took a look at the site and it's much, much smaller than what i'm used to. i may set the sway bar on it's most oversteer-y setting to help the car turn around some of the tight stuff

NASSAU COLISEUM LOT #2 - looks tiny, tight, and short

I hope they're better now. In the boroughs i think the best site is Orchard Beach, Bronx. Not sure if they still run there.
have fun

I searched around on the forums but, I picked up a set of FA pro 2. From searching, I read to get the external canisters inside the trunk is you gotta drill a hole at the bottom of the trunk to get them in? Is that the only option? Did verify with fortune auto that if you do disconnect the external reservoir it does compromise it.
