Traveled the 311 miles to TangoCharlies' place and used a bit more fuel than I thought it should have. After a bit of investigation, found one of my newly rebuilt injectors leaking around the body. Tried resealing the body of the injector, but no such luck. I happened to bring one of my old injectors, installed it, and no more leak...on that injector, anyway. #3 is leaking a bit also. Not as much as #1 was, but I still need another one. I'll continue to Varns tomorrow with hopefully, better mileage.

Had a good afternoon, otherwise. We had a coast down test from a dead stop, which I lost. And a test from 55, which I lost. I don't like these H-rated tires. Turns out Spotter's LRR tires are H-rated also.

TC took some tuft videos of everyone's cars including arcosine's. I forgot to have him(arcosine) sign my car. I'm getting all ecomodders who come in contact with the car to sign it. Sorry Tony.

Pics will have to wait a bit. Sorry.

Feel free to post pics here TC, Spotter, Tony,...
