So to finish up my story, at about 2 in the after noon it got to about 87 or so, and my body was shot. Been hot the last week or so here, and even on the lake for the show, it was warm out. Sat down in my chair, and just gabbed with the locals....

About 4pm, packed up, and was determined to leave even though everyone else seemed determined to sit and keep me blocked in...Once I fired that beast up, people got the idea, and started to help get out of the way....I will say that stupid Kirkey seat is so tall, there is no seeing behind you...

I finally idled my way out of the show for the 35 mile ride home and a stop for gas in between...So on the way home, she got to 172* and what I really noticed was the heat in the car....Man, my floor boards were not holding any of the heat back, and in fact I had direct hot air on my legs from somewhere. Thats an issue if I want to run drag week. Filled up with fuel, car fired right up with that new XS battery...what a beast. Drove it home...No issues!

And for those unaware how big this show is: (Mine is at the 39min mark behind a van of all things)
