Track, elevation, humidity and mods probably have a lot to do with it.

Yeah I'm going to have to agree with Van on this one. The amount of heat that the heater displaces compared to that of the radiator is very little. If my car overheated during track duty at track speeds, I would revisit ducting solutions and possibly an external oil cooler etc.

right- raced three of these cars- one turbo with mods, one spec car and one chump car with 24 hour races and they did not run hot- except when it was 100 degrees outside- if you are overheating turning your heater on is only making you sweat.
