Have you experienced any brake fade with stock fluid? Just curious. I will do an oil change and a fluid flush before I go to the races.
You will boil the stock fluid at Grattan. You will likely hit 130 MPH in the front straight and will need to brake to about 50 I recommend Castrol SRF which lasts the entire season. I changed my oil after my two-day event at Grattan. I recommend this as well.

There isn't much shade at Grattan. We brought a tent, chairs, and a cooler. Be safe. There are 5 blind turns and do not lift off too early when letting somebody pass on the front straight. Complete your turn and then let them by! An M3 lost it there, flew in the air, and nailed a portapotty.. something to keep in mind.

Here's a video of me at Grattan (my first event ever):


Finally, I had such a blast at Grattan and you will too. Have fun!
