Yep, car went 6.90 with a 1.46 60 ft time. Totin the left front, and you KNOW I'm happy bout that lol. I attribute the good sixty ft at about 70 percent track prep and 30 percent to the work I did to the rear suspension earlier in the week.

Besides the well prepped track the whole facility was top notch. Clean, friendly, and well organized. Well worth the extra drive. Three thumbs up.

Yeah. At highway speeds. I'm thinking the water is circulating TOO fast without the thermostat and not staying in the radiator long enough for proper cooling?

Thoughts?

You need to run a thermostat. Gives the radiator time to cool the water. I used to run one without a thermostat and it never cooled properly. At the track it is different. Driving on the street you need a thermostat.
