what do you do for a liquid cooled bike when there is alot of mud in a cross country race? I am going to race the WORCS race and it has been raining for awhile and will be muddy. I do not want my bike to overheat. Do you block the radiator or what?

I was running a banshee in the first part of GNCC. Well if you remember the first 3 races were nothing but MUD.
I put 6 layers of screen mesh over the radiator. With a duc tape pull cord for each one.
After the first lap I ripped off the top layer and there was my fresh radiator. After each lap I did that.
I would put on one layer for each lap we had to do.
I never once overheated.
Good luck...
