No I haven't, but I know that the test can tell if the oil has degraded due to heat. It tells you the effective 'weight' of the oil, which would change drastically if the oil was cooked, and also reveals the amount of protective add-ons (like zinc) left in it. I am very confident that the oil has survived, and is almost like new.
I have changed oil quite often during my tests, though. I wonder how the results would look like after 3 track days. I intend to find out next season.
