My car took a crap at VIR this weekend so I am probably out for Hypermess. It runs but it overheated one run and my head gasket is now suspect.

I'm planning to put in water and water wetter this week before this event. I'll most likely end up with a 80/20 mix with water wetter.

I run 75% distilled water and 25% coolant with water wetter. My car only overheated on last run of day 1 (with a 200+lb student in the the passenger seat) but when I pitted in the coolant was boiling. There *appears* to be some crude in the coolant overflow tank which could be liitle bits of floating oil.
Car runs fine and I added some more water wetter and Barrie and I both ran it hard on day 2 and we had no problems (ran a 3:23.xx). Still, I think I want a shop to check and make sure the head gasket is intact before tracking it again. Koyo radiator has already been ordered.

Sounds like a good idea to have it checked out. I hope everything's ok though. May be you should stop taking 200+ pound students out with you. Too much for the little motor.
