Well like I said.... it was REALLY early in the am when the “issue” came up. It was a dang header gasket. Must have burned out on the pass because all seemed ok. Took the win, pulled N and killed the engine. Coasted to return road and went to fire up as always and that was definitely a noise that I was not expecting. I freaked!! fixed it tonight and all is well. Water manifold is leaking though so I’ll have to address that too.

My best 1/8 mile pass so far was a 5.79 at Irwindale.... Al posted the correct 1/8 increments for my sat am pass from this past weekend.

Now time for trailer tire shopping! Caught one leaving me on a rest stop inspection. All were 162-164 degrees except for one..... 185! I always carry 2 spares.
