No way man, I got it down to an art. I remove the engine underpanel, jack the car up between sessions (full front up on jack stands), put a water biased mixture into the coolant tank, and run it like hell. If I'm lucky and it's had a while to cool down, it'll last till the checkered in a 20 minute session. Friday I had 6 30 minute sessions so I did 13-15 minutes on track, pulled off for about 2 minutes and left the car off and then went back on until checkered. To combat limping I just pit in and reboot, like a pissy Windows machine. The only scary bit is when it limps and a Corvette or Viper is climbing up your ass...
