On the street my coolent temp gauge runs just slightly over the 180 mark all of the time and almost never varies. On the track its normal to see the coolent at 220F - and that is the coolent, the oil temp in the engine is likely higher so 250F is certainly within reason.

I don't know what my track oil temp is as I don't measure it but if it wasn't 250 degrees I would be very surprised. My gearbox gets close to 300 (or at least it did prior to fitting a transmission oil cooler). I would not be at all concerned.
