AOD's are not the greatest for that racing, but you gotta do with what'cha got...

Are you sure its tranny fluid? Sounds a little fishy that AOD fluid spilled... You sure its not p/s fluid? THAT does boil under extreme turns/loads like that.
Even if it wasnt, change it to Valvoline synthetic stuff like this: pop off the low-pressure hose by unscrewing the hose clamp. "aim" (you'll pee on the floor anyways) the fluid into a bucket. Cap the p/s pump with "something" (duct-tape, finger...) and refill the p/s reservoir. Turn the motor over, while turning the steering lock to lock (WITHOU starting the engine). Keep pouring new fluid into reservoir while doing this. This procedure flushes the old stuff, and add all new fluid.
