Potential issues for hot upcoming track day?

Well this seems pretty evident at the dragstrip. Oil temp in the 160-200 range car runs from 12.9 to 13.1 like clockwork. Above 200 it starts to get progressively slower.

Well this seems pretty evident at the dragstrip. Oil temp in the 160-200 range car runs from 12.9 to 13.1 like clockwork. Above 200 it starts to get progressively slower. Slower I ever recorded was 220 oil temp running 13.5s at a significantly reduced 104 trap. Granted boiling hot outside it was high 90s. If this is true at the strip I imagine it would be present on track to a degree but at least on track you have constant airflow. Ill have to start tracking timing as well.

It is odd though as on my two track days I havent had a decrease in performance that I could notice whereas at the strip its easy to notice. Interesting though
