    995 miles includes some track time as well as casual miles on a 360. How often do you recomend fluid changes between track events? Common sense for me would indicate after every track event, but is it necessary? If not, how many miles between fluid services that may include 2 to 4 hours track time.

    Thanks FBB. My friend has the 360, my car is a 348 Challenge, Kenton's old number 27.

    By the way, I put 20k + on this car, lots of highway, and real mountain driving with 4 or 5 track events. I have rebuilt three hubs, the forth is out now. Have you had any issues like this and what gives? I run 245's front and 315's rear.

    I track only and never had that problem. I run 245 front and 11.5" rears and those are big!
