What's an easy way to....
keep the engine from overheating at the track. I sit in the staging lanes with the hood up but still doesn't cool down enough to get some good runs in. How do I get the fans to come on sooner? :seeya

Don't forget to sit with the ac on. Don't laugh, it actually will drop my temp about 20 degrees, then I turn it off as I'm getting close to the water box. Of course this is with the factory thermostat.

There is also a intake bag that straps to the intake. You fill it with ice and it helps keep the engine cool. You can put a lower thermo in. You can even rig up a fan switch that will run your fans (on high) without having the car on. Then all you have to do is start the car ever couple of minutes to cycle the cooler coolant into the block.
