about 90, on track expect 110 to 115.

I use silkolene and I'm told this is good up to 140?

However, on track if the temp started to go above 115 I would prob come in for a bit. I have only tracked car a few times so I'm no means an expert.

Thanks Bondy, it doesn't go above 100 and that's only in traffic, but I was following a motorbike smile and it hit 110
