HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. in my case i believe it's called heat soak, i think. happens when the extreme heat from the motor or exhaust reduces the current-carrying capacity of the starter solenoid or wiring to the solenoid, thus the starter doesn't get enough current to turn the engine over appropriately. solutions include:
heat wrap to go around starter
starter shield
relocate solenoid
install high-performance starter.
