Get those Deluxes out of there before you go.  It took me only about 3
laps at Summit Point to experience fade with Metal Manglers which (I
think) have a higher tolerance for heat.

The fluid should be okay if it really is only a couple of months (3
months is my personal max for track use) but even fresh fluid will boil
in short order if you leave the Deluxes in.
