My first 1/4 mile run

My first 1/4 mile run
My brother and I finally went to the drag strip yesterday to race our Mustangs (mines a 94 and he has an 01).
We did about 6 runs, but it was just too hot and humid out to do any more.
My car came close to overheating after I shut it down for about 10 minutes then went back on the track again.
How do you guys handle keeping your cars cool when it's so hot and sticky outside?
I was thinking of making an override switch for my fan to force it on when I want.
Here's the best I did (run #3):
R/T... 1.089
60 ft... 2.289
1/8... 9.207 @ 78.69
1/4... 14.116 @ 101.36
I kept the car fully loaded with 40 lb subwoofer and all (just about 3600 lbs including me in it).
I wanted to run exactly what I run on the street everyday.

RE: My first 1/4 mile run
with that mph your a good mid/low 13 car but your 60's need worked on. reason why your et is high
also did your hp figures with the calculator and figure you would like to see them
Your engine is making approximately 224.77 HP at the wheels, and about 265.22 HP at the flywheel.

I don't know if your R/T was factored in, like if it was Time trials, but you may want to work on that also.

btw, first time I ever went to the track, my best time was a 14.9 at 93 mph. But when I ran that, I didn't have my B&M shifter or my Centerforce clutch - not that it would've made a huge difference, but it may have helped a little on shifting or taking off.
At 93 mph, any estimate of what I should be running? I think I'm in the same spot as sc94gt, I need to work on my 60' time.
