Arrow first time at the track

finally got to hit the track after 3 years of having the car. the car was solid at the track great performance also a fun car with traction off. the only thing that ticked me off was the transmission locking. the track is about 1.5 miles long and the ground temp was about 90 degrees F. after about 4-5 laps the transmission kept going back to comfort i know its good for the car but damn kinda ruins the fun

Overheating issues??
What mods do you have?
The black series coolers will help the heat issue.

Awesome! I'm headed to VIR on the 18th. What tire pressures were you using and did you just use the stock alignment specs? Thanks!

Were you shifting manually, when the transmission switched to C mode? I've done 4 x 30 min sessions in a day at Buttonwillow during the Summer. I kept the transmission in S mode, and it never switched to C. My car was 100% stock.
