Wow, Peter, didn't realize that you have an auto! Oh jeez. YES, you need that heater on from the beginning of the race! Also, have you changed your transmission fluid per chance? Notice how once you start changing gears during the race, the area below the shifter gets real HOT! you can't even rest your leg there. Well, because your an auto, your coolant has to cool your trans fluid! yes, definitely run MoCool, but its best run on less than a 50:50 water:coolant mix, otherwise its useless. Your coolant on say 30:70 will be way cooler without MoCool, than a 50:50 with MoCool.
