I hope that I'm not hijacking this thread, but what *is* a safe oil temperature?

I was running on a short track last weekend (Shenandoah Circuit @ Summit Point, WV) on a hot day (90F), and my '88 Carrera was just touching the bottom of second hash mark (248F). It was steady there during every session. Is this too hot for dino oil (VR-1 20w50)?

Thanks!
