More coolant explosions. Bugger. Earlier in the year I blew out a freeze plug from the block, then half way through the 5th session I blew a 3" gash in the upper rad hose:

You can see the white smoke out the back, the lurch on the wheel as the coolant drenches the right rear under braking/cornering. I noticed just a few spots splash up on the passenger windsheild so darted into pit lane and shut it down. I think I found the problem, my Gano filter was 75% plugged with crud so I bet the pressure was building and found the weakest link both times. Strange because I've run it between those 2 times just fine all day long. Weird.
I did manage 4 sessions like this though:

So the day was pretty fun! Been out a lot this year testing some new parts coming soon. Its been our biggest and most fun project yet, hope you like it when its released!
