I also have crisp dust cover seals after a race. I use heat shields with
medium success on this issue.
The inner seals also fail but they do from the pistons which lost some of
their chrome coatings.
I now use inox pistons and hope for the best.

I'd like to change the topic a little, to caliper seals and how long they
last under racing conditions. I just came back from a weekends racing and
rebuilt my calipers. The late TR4/early TR6 style calipers have one inner
ring and a rubber boot type seal. In mine the boots were crispy, crumbling
to the touch and one of the 4 inner rings had heat damage. I can only assume
that the little rubber seal between the halfs is also heat damaged. I had
spares ready so the job is done but I'm just a bit curious if everyone is
frying these like I am. Mine were on there for nearly 4 years of racing.
