do a search on 'heat soak' , learn what it is. I'm assuming you've never taken an auto shop class, take one ASAP if you can.

After driving the car hard you really should keep moving so that u can help cool it down. As long as you move air is going to the radiator and oil coolers.

On a side note: stop the street racing.
