Could be heat vaporizing gas in the bowl into the intake especially if running E10.

Sounds like carb problem to me...a hour later the car would have cooled off?
Sounds like gas is dripping into the motor while it's sitting, stuck needle and seat??

Sounds like the "hot soak" is boiling the gas out of the carb and into the manifold. I'd start with a thick (1/2"+) insulating carb gasket.
