If you go without the use of an oil cooler then do what my friends (who owns Hondas) would do, do one flying hard-out lap then a cool down lap and alternate. On the cool down run just cruise the entire way and let your brakes/oil/water temp cool before you give it stick for the next flying pass.
Thanks for your advice. Is it still ok to drive daily with oil cooler or is it hard for the oil to reach optimum temperature during normal driving conditions?
