Engine oil cooler

I was at the road track last weekend. After 10 laps I had oil temp of 240* and water temp at 208. I was thinking of a oil cooler. What you guys think.
Where did you install it

You are not driving hard enough to warrant and EOC, those temperatures are well within the acceptable range for an LS motor. Run a search on oil temperature in the autocross & road racing section, you will find individuals regularly reaching nearly 300 deg F oil temperature.
On a long auto-cross course during the summer time my engine's oil temperature will reach over 250 deg F, I already have a larger aftermarket radiator with an EOC.

Thanks for the input. I will try to go faster next year. The track is going under repair, so track days are done for now
