I also got the oil samples tested after track days(Mobil 1 5W-30 EP), and per the result, oil was like new 
Here is a video from one of my last attempts. It's a bit hard to read, but the oil temp gauge is in front of the shifter.

Thanks. Had you gotten your oil tested after track runs prior to the oil cooler? I wonder whether the Blackstone testing can tell whether oil has degraded due to heat, or whether it is only able to show signs of engine wear.
