Yes it is! It's good beer! My deal with them is they give me a keg every race weekend and make sure everyone that drinks it posts something on social media about it. Works really well for both parties involved! I'm becoming a real popular guy at the track!

The Improved Racing stuff works GREAT! I can see the thermostat open on my gauge, and it's right on the money. I've run the car in stop and go traffic in 90 heat cruising up and down the Va Beach Resort strip with no issues at all. At the track it keeps the oil temps under control perfectly, but having 150mph air pushing through the cooler helps quite a bit. Hit me up for a discount code for anything Improved makes if you need anything from them.

What size oil cooler are you running and what oil temps are you seeing on the track?

Link #1 shows Mike Skeen in a Factory VW Golf GT7 R, but the main footage is my car! Link #2 is from inside my car the same lap! pretty cool. He was going all out, I was just coming out of the pits warming up.

The second video isn't visible. Probably only available to friends on facebook or group members.

I'll work on getting my in car up on youtube so you can see it. Its actually funny, Skeen is up there fighting for every bit out of that car, I'm hanging behind him, scratching my nose, adjusting the mirror, leisurely shifting just riding along.

Oil cooler, its 11x7 mounted in front of the radiator. most of the front of the car is blocked off so the air can only go through the cooler and radiator or the brake ducts. even as hot as it was this weekend, I didn't see anything over 220-230.
