100 degree run
Hit 2900 miles on the car today during a fifteen mile run in 100 degree temps. Mix of shopping center congestion, stop and go, and 60-70 mph on the highway. Thanks to Gordon Levy for a great engine and Travis Blazer for final engine install. The coolant temperature never got above 194 degrees. The radiator is the standard FFR supplied radiator. Thanks again to Gordon, Travis and FFR for a seemingly bulletproof beast.

Chuck, Congratulations on the milestone. 100 is my upper driving limit in the roadster. Basically, I'm OK between 50- 100. Much below 50 & the soft top comes out of the trunk & I'm ready to drive all winter here in AZ.

Thanks,
Will
