Hot Track Day Question

A Friend is doing a streets of willow track day coming up. It looks like it will be about 100 degrees. He has a 993 C2s (wide body non turbo with full aero kit).

Any special measures for air cooled cars?

should he worry about the heat?

Finally what HOT tire pressures do you recommend front and rear. Car is all stock.

allill is infamous around these parts
I'm no expert, but as long as his oil cooler fan is working and he has proper oil in there he should be ok. These cars don't like sitting in stop and go traffic so as long as the car is getting a lot of air in the front passing the oil cooler it should be ok. 100 degrees is hot and tracking the car will add to the heat, make sure he checks the temp guage.

If he does a search on rennlist, he will find a lot more info.
