Question on oil weights for race track days...

Last time I took my car on the track I had some issues...
2 years ago at the last SOC track day, I was running 10w-30. It was a hot day and the oil temp was around 230 degrees. The car could not get above 6 psi of oil pressure at idle, I had to rev the car to 1500 rpm to keep the oil light off. While racing I seemed to have okay oil pressure, however I never really did look at the gauge while racing...
So my question is should I buy some 20w-50 synthetic just for the track this year. I'd change the oil in the morning with the heavier stuff and then drain it out after the day.
