Only a warning stating continued driving possible. I pulled the power back on the straights and oil temps dropped after a couple easy laps. Coolant remained at 210ºF but after the warning, and easy laps, the coolant temps dropped dramatically before coming back up to 210ºF.

Interesting. This must be due to the significantly thinner air in CO.
