Very doubtful this has anyhting to do with your speed run. This isn't a Sunfire you're driving here - it is meant to be run hard. The rev-limiter should prevent any real damage from getting a little over-excited.

The suggestions about topping up your coolant and then keeping an eye on it are good. Could also be early stages of AOS failure. Pull off your oil filler cap (engine running) and see if there is internal vacuum that makes it difficult to remove. While you're there pull the dipstick and make sure the oil isn't contaminated with coolant (it will be light brown and foamy).

Your water pump should probably be changed as a preventative maintenance item. This has been discussed to death so do a quick search if you want more info on why. Change out your front mount and thermostat while you're in there.

Did u mean August 2010?
