The last track day I did was in December last year and was 40 degrees celcius in the shade. The lag was ridiculous. I am currently running a Davis Craig electric water pump and a rx4 alloy radiator which keeps the engine temps down.
Here is a photo of the engine showing the water pump.

The water pump controller is great for track days. It will run the pump and fans for 2 mins after shutdown and gets rid of a lot of heat soak.
