Default Weird thermal-like problem? 3 different cars had the same problem

On saturday (8/14) I took part in a local club race that was ran by socal-rc.com, which is an authorized SP seller. I ran in their stock spec class and had a thermal cutoff-like problem with my car and 2 other people the same day. The weird thing is the 3 of us are all running Cyclones, and were all running 3.6 FDR. The race took place in San Diego, so the weather was not even all that hot, the motor was around 120deg while the esc was at around 110 deg. F. What could cause the cars to slow down to a crawl like it did?
