not sure how a colder plug would help or hurt it for the track, but your issue seems to arise after you have been using the car for a while like something is over heating and failing and then you have to wait for what ever failed to cool down and allow the car to run right. I did have an issue with my 87 rx7 NA when I left the airport, it ran well as I kicked up the rpm. When I tried to kick up the rpm on the on ramp to the highway it would sputter out and not rev above 3500 and had no power. I was afraid of needing a tow at 1am. It turned out the connector to the mass airflow sensor can partitally unplug. It was at an angle on the connector. it took a bit for me to figure out that was the issue, because I could start it and idle but had no load and would die out when I tried to go anywhere.
Short story is check to see if your mass airflow meter is starting to fail.

Have not done anything. Drove it down to Mid-Ohio for the vintage weekend with no problem and continue to drive it regularly to work. As mentioned it only acts up after spending $$$ for a track weekend. I have a dyno lined up to run for an hour.... maybe that will set it off. Quite frankly I am too old and have too many other responsibilities to get into working on cars anymore.....I used to enjoy it as a rewarding challenge..... now it is just an annoying chore.

true, but its great when its running right. As long as you maintain the little stuff then it helps to enjoy the car a lot more.

forgot to post after finely getting a result. Apparently it was an intermittent TPS malfunction. Replaced and all is well.
