Note to self:

Racing on one of the hottest days in the history of mankind is not a good idea

It was 92 degrees when I made that pass.

I just knew I jinxed myself when I realized I had gone 4 years on the same HG's. To think I coasted to a 7.3@87 mph... woulda been neat to see what that run woulda turned into had things not gone sour.

I'm looking at options now. Engine needs a rebuild anyway. 3.8, 4.1, girdle, caps, forged crank or stock crank... so many options. Yay.
