Had some excitement last night while testing my FF/SA '85 Turismo. One of the brass fittings on my fuel check log split! Glad the header is behind the engine in this car! Myron had a piece to block it off. Did some tinkering and got it under the index comfortably in these conditions. (Been -1.04 under 1/4 mile, but the 1/8 indexes are crazy hard by comparison). Last night was 81deg, 51%, 29.10 (almost a full number lower than Belle Rose last week!) 1.0697 correction, 2946 DA.

Cooler this morning, with a stray sprinkle here and there. Barometer's up a tick to 29.17, but the humidity's making it a wash.
