My last time at the dragstrip I hot lapped my car 3 times in a row without shutting down the engine. Had no problems with heat.

I actually was doing some math on this. My theory is that the added SS radiators help only in mid range speed. I don't have the exact numbers but lets say 50mph to 100mph.
To be clear, standing at a red light the SS rads are not moving air, as far as I know they don't have fan, and at low speeds are not efficient (traffic jam). Fan usually simulates around 40mph.
At Vmax the speed of air is really fast and the main radiator should be enough. In slow tracks the added radiators are necessary. It's the wort case, mid air speed and full power applied.
So an LT1 should be able to race Talladega.
