Default Re: Making a Run to the LA Roadster Show and Beyond

We took it easy today knowing we will have a very, very early day on Monday, 3 AM, trying to beat the heat. We hope to hit Gallup, NM and perhaps Earl and I will go a little further to visit johnrodz here on the Fordbarn who is visiting his wife's family in Grants, New Mexico just 40 miles down the road from Gallup.

So, for today it was a nice long sleep in (I really needed it), did some laundry, visited some of my wife's family who live about 50 miles away and got a home cooked meal - oh yea, was that ever appreciated by us!

But by doing so, I also got to test the roadster in extreme heat - 105 plus - at speed and in traffic. With running hard, temps were 175, 180 uphill, no more than 175-180 in traffic. So, the high 100+ temps that have been predicted for the next week, even in Pueblo, should be OK on the car (I hope!)
