Thumbs up Origional Break-in Oil on the Track

I have a 2006 s2000 that it about 2 weeks old. I have a little over 2000km on the car. My buddies have a track rented out tonight. I want to go and race for a while but I am not sure if it's okay to drive the car hard with the break-in oil. If anyone has experience or is knowledgeable and has the answer I would appreciate if you chime in. Thanks

No problem. I did it with only 600 miles on the engine. Very hard driving too in very hot weather. Now at 29000 miles with many thousands of track miles and never a problem.

The thing I would be thinking about is getting oil out of the engine after tracking it. If you have (highly debated) break-in oil in there, you won't want to drain it that quickly.

The other issue is whether or not you are comfortable with the car yet. I would want to have more time with the car to avoid misshifts and other mistakes.
