One last "Good Luck" for you guys.
If you havn't added a little Water Wetter to the coolant now's the time. It is not a fix-all, but really does help in hot weather.
Ryan may be right about the air in the system. Bleeder is on the water outlet from the engine. (I'm sure you know that, especially since Bret is involved.)
Drive it like the General! Go Fast, don't brake or break.

Yeah- I'm thinking it's air in the system too- based on the description of the problem.

Water wetter is fine, but it's specifically not allowed in the rules.

The Deiter seems to have had a clogged radiator.

Some folks apparently have some male genitalia of EPIC proportions on their lemons car.

So much for that NASCAR contract!

actually I asked the photographer about it, and he said they would have edited it out if I had.

I think it was Steve in the beginning "disregarding" about half the slalom cones :roll: :wink: He does that on track too, if he doesn't like a turn, he just doesn't take it. :wink:

Good Luck Guys
