We only have a little bit of crappy video. I do have a bunch of pics.
So racing during the day is pretty routine.

It is pretty much like any track day except people pass anywhere and all the time and you are driving anywhere from 1 to 2 hours at a time. Check out the horsepower difference between cars:

Routine my ass. I got bump drafted, spent 1/2 my time off track, and managed to get completely perpendicular to the track in the braking zone on the VIR back straight.
Like I said, pretty routine!

Another question, is there a specific way to drill holes for the HANS device? Or should there be existion ones. I have an El sheapo racing helmet...199$ ones

The reason I ordered the AN fittings and hose from Summit is i don't know exactly which fittings (angles) i will end up using so i intentionally ordered extra fittings. Summit has a much better return policy than racerpartswholesale but doesnt sell Mocal or Setrab parts. Also, you MIGHT be able to get away with 10' of hose, but i got 15' to be safe. Summit sells 15', RPW only sells 10' and 20'.
You can go cheaper if you are ok with the typical blue and red AN fitting colors, but i wanted black.
I spend a ton of time looking at whether or not to get 10 or 12AN fittings. I cannot recall exactly what swayed me to 10AN, but i am really glad I did as they are quite large. 12AN fittings must be huge. The area around the sandwich plate is pretty tight, and the fittings in the sandwichplate are 1/2 inch. 10AN is a tiny bit bigger than 1/2 inch.
I went with a slightly more expensive Setrab vs Mocal oil cooler because i like black. The setrab is black the mocal is silver. Also, all the cool kids use setrab (nascar, grand am, F1) and for what its worth (very little) i read about mocal coolers splitting apart online.
As far as where i am mounting it, i am going to try and mount it in front of the radiator in front of the AC fan. If this doesnt work, i will just mount it in the center. Make sure to put some rubber in the mounting as the vibrations apparently kill oil coolers. I bought one of the factory mounts, but i really don't see how it will be usable. I really just bought it in case i needed it. Rather have the part and not use it than need it and not have it.
The sandwich plate that i bought has the integrated 180 degree thermostat. After buying it i read that its better to get a 200 degree one, which can be special ordered from Mocal (integrated into sandwich plate) or bought as a remote (plumbed in) thermostat. I'm just keeping what i got as this car is only driven on track. The oil should get hot enough.
Hope this helps.

Possibly mate these with an inline Mocal 200F thermostat?
Thanks,

^^^A 200* thermostat would barely ever open on a mildly modified f20/f22. Even with the ptuning turbo kit pushing it hard on track for 20-25 minutes I was getting peak temperatures of 230*. On the street my temperatures always stayed around 200-205.
Also, I'm with Matt on Setrab oil coolers. They're not overly expensive and they're great quality.
