I am a novice and won't be running brutally hard, but if there is any chance of damaging the engine, I will probably postpone my track day and get the oil cooler. Thanks for the help

I got hot enough at about 17 laps that the RPMs cut way down (to like 3,000) so coming out of turn 10 at Summit Point back on the gas and no power ... I about got ran over by a pair of CTS-V's they thought I had missed a shift or something ... and I didn't think I was being all that hard on the car. Better safe than sorry and slap an oil cooler on there
