A lot has to do with proper cool down technique. Take off engine covers, fans on top of motor & in front of car. I/C pump running all day non stop so also keeping battery charger on the car when in pits. Keep car shut off and hood open but I/C pump running in staging lanes, etc.
People shouldn't even waste their time going to the track if they don't intend to properly cool these cars. As the saying goes, "Common sense isn't as common as you think." Its always good to hear new techniques and I must say you have an efficient setup for cool down. I don't have the fans but I put ice in heavy duty garbage bags and keep the pump circulating to pull out as much heat as possible. Also, I don't like shutting the car off right away. I do a few 20-30 mile/hr laps in the staging area with the heat on trying to pull some of the engine heat out as well so it doesn't continue to heat the IC system once its off. One of these days I'll get around to adding a trunk tank like the big boys.
