No oil cooler needed. Temp never got above 230 but remember I was only running hard for 50secs or less. Typically the temp would drop to 190 between runs. It was 90 out with a small breeze.
During drag temp never got higher than 220. I mean it may have spiked during my run but my focus was on the tach. I just know that at the end of my run on the turn out it was always around 220.
I think the whole oil cooler thing is only if you are doing road racing or other types of racing where you have the revs up for a consistant amount of time. For auto-x or drag I don't think an oil cooler is needed as you aren't running the car for very long before shutting it down. Mind you my engine is barely broken in too, only 1500miles on it. Temps on my car have never gone past 230 on normal driving whether it was hwy, streets, traffic, hwy/street with aggressive pulls. Thats also during the summer where we had days hotter than 110. So far so good, knock on wood.
