Lee, not sure if I ever asked you...
What do you attribute to the crash and are you taking any additional precautions this time around?

Luke,
I first changed my Life Insurance Policy to cover me if I die at the track, second, I will not run stock radiator hoses again.

So it was coolant over the rear tires huh? Gosh, scary stuff in a 9sec car. I have seen too many cars loose control at the track due to coolant in the past several years.

I have seen many race cars with boost running stock hoses and cringe. I wont even consider it on my 91 for the reason you listed. A race radiator cap has nothing to do with it.

Old Friend of mine, he works out of Brentwood, did it on the side for me for $800, I think I got a deal. He pulled the front end, cut the aprons and the upper & lower radiator supports out and put used ones in I had, cut out the sway bar brackets out, plus painted part of the engine compartment and did some fiberglass work to the hood. The paint doesnt match but who cares its a race car. I will paint the front clip after I am done cutting it up to fit all the tubing and the intercooler.

bullshit I have run race caps on the street and at the track many times never had a problem. just because a cap will hold 30 doesnt mean thats what it will go up to. have you ever done it or just read about it ?
