So this is my 3rd event with my fist it has a little more than 9k on it. I had a small problem with it overheating last month when I was letting someone else drive the vehicle. Today was bad, the outside temp was reading 105 degrees. I did 5 runs total, by the 3rd run with breaks the car was getting hot at the end of the run but quickly came back down to operating temp after I slowed down.it did the same for the 4th and 5th. After that was fun runs, it had about an hour to cool, a friend did a run then came back and let another friend drive after waiting on grid. The car went into safe mode after about his first hard turn he stopped the run and brought it in. The temp dropped back down very quickly. I decided after a while to attempt another run and made sure not to sit behind any cars waiting to start. I did the run, by the end it was almost all the way in hot again. What are some suggestions yall can make to keep the car cool for future events? I'd love to upgrade the cooling system but the doesn't seem to be much out there for that area of the car. I've read about the mishimotos and 2j racing bolt in, but can't find them for sale. This is a issue I need to adress for me to feel comfortable running the car. Any help is appreciated. I added a picture from last week from our wet autox car is a blast in the rain.
