Kirby and I were traveling at excessive velocities yesterday coupled with
frequent periods of enthusiastic acceleration. We were enjoying carving up
the country side with twenty other Lamborghini and Ferrari drivers. The air
was cool and as such, not a formidable Texas summer day. The drives are
very long. I never saw my car get over 185 degrees. While the topic of
cooling didn't come up, we did discuss how each other's car's were
performing. Kirby did not mention and the GT40 did not show any signs of
overheating. He did get thumbs up for great sounds out the tailpipes.
Always glad to return with both the driver and engine in one piece from
those drives.
