With the mid-summer racing break just about over, I'm gearing up for a busy racing schedule this fall. First in line are two events at Willow Springs in September. Stay tuned for results and video.

Also, in a week or so, I'll be posting a dyno comparison of my old 136,000 engine vs the new rebuild. Same car, same dyno, same dyno operator, data corrected for temp. I've always wondered how they might compare and now I have the actual data.

Speaking of summer and my continuing goal to keep cool in the car on a hot day (it stays hot here in SoCal until Halloween), I recently upgraded from a standard cool shirt to the hooded type.

Results? This is HUGE improvement in comfort! Cooling your head, neck, and torso is 10x better than just cooling your torso. The hood fits fine under my helmet and only takes a few seconds to put on.

Thinking about getting a newer driving suit also.
