I've seen a few racers regret not converting over when they had a chance

Didn't see you at COTA this weekend?
Great suggestion, I did not realize that there was a difference in tube size. The center radiator was damaged in the crash, so am looking for a good used one for the transplant.

I really wanted to go to COTA this year, but was hoping that they would have an open track day on Thursday prior to the event. Guess the cost is prohibitive. I'll get there one of these days. Next PCA races for me are Road Atlanta and NOLA.
