As per Cabs comment, this is exactly why you want to leave yourself a little margin for error. If you look directly under the license plate in the pic, you can see my water pump belt exiting, stage left. Decided to make the pass anyway. Couldn't get all the way back to my pit area though, as the temp gauge was passing 250 by the ET shack. Glad I had the top rings gapped a couple thousands larger than called for.
