temp went up, while racing on a track!?!?

well i went to a race track to drag. it was a hot day in the 80s, and while i was racing the 2nd time my temp went up slightly. After that i let the car sit with the hood open to cool and thanred again ten min later and my temp went up even higher. i let offthe gas and just cruised down the track. After like 3 to 5 min my temp went down to its normal position. It never does this when i drive hard on the road. COuld this be my thermostat..i doesnt take long for the car to have a normal temp. Is it a water pump? Please help me. Thanks
