Those concerns are primarily just for tracking conditions. For autocross purposes, the base model is perfectly fine, and you shouldn't have any overheating issues.

I ran my car (no oil cooler, stock brake fluid) all year last year (including a ProSolo event in 105 degree heat) and never had any problems.

Thanks for the input. I will probably just jump in there and make myself a fool. Lol. I have had a few track days with sports bikes so I kinda know what to expect but then again do I?
