long day at autox - very hot engine

well it was about 85 degrees out and i was driving the car pretty hard all thru 1st and 2nd at the autox in NJ

this was my first autox with the turbo II....just wondering if others experience this - when i was done with my last run i looked at the stock temp gauge and it was up almost all the way by the -H

it dropped down soon after, but i was just scared....

i think im in need of a koyo radiator and electric fan

it shouldn't get that hot. that's BAD. you should get an aftermarket gauge, then you can see exactly how hot its getting.
