140 Degs. constant engine temp.

I was racing a VW on the interstate yesterday and my engine temp got a little above 190 probobly 205-210 so i decided to drive normal and it went back down to 190.
when i got off the interstate and started driving around town it stayed at 140-150 , i got to my destanation, shut it down, and left.
about an hour later got back on the highway and it stayed between 140-160

Now last night i drove about 10-15 miles on the Interstate and then on some back roads with some hills, and the only temp. i saw was 140

the gauge does moves very little, but it moves

What Gives

Michael
