I got some bad luck I found my fairly new aluminum radiator developed a crack right at the top next to the fill tube! I thought it was a bad radiator cap until I pressure tested it again and found the leak. I guess I shouldn't have been driving my car so hard haha! Easy enough fix just gotta buy another new radiator and swap everything out. Good news is I have about a month to get everything done so I am still a go for the April track day!  can it be mig welded? why would it have cracked there?

can it be mig welded? why would it have cracked there? Not sure why it cracked but I'm suspecting a certain bump on the way back from work everyday caused it, but who knows? Just super grateful that I haven't had any overheating to cause damage! Good news is I ordered another radiator from Be Cool and they gave me a big discount. Also I will be able to send them back this damaged radiator so they can fix it and I'll have a spare.

Plexiglass pitted badly from roadracing, switched back to glass for easy maintenance.

The Dart's out... It will not be making it. I'm currently trying to find a cheap vehicle on the market to take its place, but I'm not going to lie, the search is difficult. I've been wanting to do this track day for 5 years now and I'm really bummed that this year won't be it. Regardless, I'm taking Wed-Fri for vacation from work so, I guess I'll be at the track.. Are there any ride-alongs? I have a helmet. Yes, you will be able to go out with me in the Dart. I should be able to arrange something else as well. Most probably with one or more of several instructors. Im sorry to hear about the Dart. Definately dont let it keep you down. You will still have an amazing time for sure!

I really appreciate allowing me to ride shot-gun. And I met Dr. Rustbucket and his Lemons Duster last Spring Fling at the show. I heard stories of what happens after track days. Lol.
