I got a phone call from Express Media Group today. They will be doing a photoshoot of my car in a few weeks! 
EDIT: It will probably be for Fast Fours magazine, but I'm not sure.

Rob,
It may be a good idea to drain the catch can instead of returning to the sump. The oil can end up being pretty 'funky' at times!
Brakes look great. Some owners change the master cylinder too. Did you do this?
That's great news about Fast Fours. Congratulations on that win. If I can make it, I will see you on Monday.

Yes the stuff that collects in the catch can is often quite funky, but that's because of condensation which would form when changing from cold to hot and back again. I still have a manually activated drain valve which allows me to easily drain the funky stuff into a container on a regular basis. The other drain (to the sump) is from the side of the catch can about an inch above the base of the can, and in normal driving the level will never get that high. At the track is where the drain to the sump will come into play, but at the track the engine will always be hot so there shouldn't be much condensation, therefore the stuff going back to the sump should be in the same condition as when it came out of the engine.
Hopefully that turns out to be fairly accurate in practice haha.

EDIT: I confirmed that I still have the original 7/8 inch bore brake master cylinder, so I'll be changing to a larger one very soon.

Hopefully I'll see you there.
Eddie, Alex and Steve Wei are all going too I believe.

Maybe you should ask them if they'd like to come along to MTC 2016 to do a feature on the event?
