Default cracked radiator= slower qtr mile times????

I just went to sacramento raceway yesterday to see what my POS can pull. The first time i ran it at a different track (3 months ago), i ran a 15.02...thats w/ the stock shitty michelin tires! So this time, i gutted out my interior, set up my suspension, had only a few gallons of gas, got new tires...and i was pretty sure i was gonna hit a 14.8 at least! I was wrong!!! Last week i found out i had a crack in my radiator, so i bought that sealant stuff, and it seemed to have worked. but Every time i got on the throttle yesterday, a lil bit of water/coolant comes out and sprays underneath my hood. Basically....i ran 15.2 3 times, then a 15.3 and my last run a 15.4! YOu think my cracked radiator couldve caused my car to run slower times through out the day or in general?

cooler engine is a stronger engine, I would think a cracked radiator would affect your time, but I am no drag racer.
