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!

That's prob not uncommon if you were running at wot. Tracking is hard work on the machine. Especially at that ambient.
Most guys I know change the oil right after a track day for that reason.
