I had been at Willow Springs with the POC in early September, and your biggest concern is to keep yourself hydrated, something like survival mode, (literally)... LOL

After the first weekend there, I went ahead and installed the third (center) radiator
Gilles; Yeah it really is no joke out there.

Funny (or not) you mention the radiator. I have had both radiators off and cleaned. Fans working well. New WP and LN low temp stat and still my temps swing from just a tick below the 180 mark to the right edge of the 0, 103 deg C or 217 f. indicated on the climate control at 70 to 80 deg f ambient when working the engine in the hills and twisties rowing 2nd to 3rd. I am considering upgrading stock rads to the CSF rads. This way I replace the 18 YO rads without all the mods for the center rad which should end up about cost neutral. This trip is kinda the litmus test.
