April 8, 2009 - This is the result of the track.
My white high-temp paint was a little flaky after the race, but not too bad. It simply told me where the hot spots were in the header. However, after the thrashing at Laguna Seca, the paint was bubbled and flaking over all of the primary tubes. Yuk.
So, after the repair is done, I'm going to get it ceramic coated. I shied away from that originally as I didn't want to spend the money and then have it crack. But we know now that cracking is not a concern so it's a good opportunity. Besides, I want the engine bay looking good for the Mitty in a month!
I forgot to mention - Janel and I used the race car to tour Monterey and Carmel after the track day. It's maybe not the perfect vacation vehicle. Maybe once I get the transit headsets put together.
