With regard to insurers, what you said used to be the case, however, the HPDE organizers have warned me that insurers are taking a much harder line toward damage in HPDE events. Even if no lap timing occurs, insurers may still assert that the event is a competitive, or unauthorized abusive activity. Some claims have been definitely been contested by the insurers. I don't know if these were successful.
I'm definitely thinking of running distilled water and water wetter next summer, without anti-freeze, then changing to antifreeze for winter. I'll be adding water wetter to the coolant as soon as my shipment arrives. I think that with that and my cool-down protocol, cruising around in 4th at 20mph for 10 minutes after each track session, I'll be OK.
With respect to the brakes I'm running Axxis Ultimate pads in front and Metal Masters in the rear with fresh Wilwood 570 fluid.
Also, my ECU hits the rev limiter at about 7300 rpm. So, Mike ought to be able to get to get over 150, if he has enough room. But his power to weight ratio is only a little better than a stock STI, and a lot lower than a Z06, so I don't think he would get much more than 130-135.
TE 1221:
You have to be with someone who is registered to get in. Having said that, non-drivers don't have to pay, but you really can't get out onto the course to do much spectating. The photographers have an infield pass. The stewards jump all over anybody who's not a photographer or corner worker who gets out of the designated area, which isn't all that good for spectating the infield roads.
