Packed up and home on Sunday, relaxing in the spa with a cold beer getting the last rays of the sun before it disappears over the mountains.

If its any consolation Dr Bob, Sunday was hideous weatherwise. One of our Group N guys was able to link into the pilots forecast and weather conditions at the local PI airport. They were reporting 37.5C at 2:00 pm and due to hit 38. Usual iPhone forecasts were 'only' reporting 32C A few of the larger class Nc's and others from other classes didnt go out in the afternoon, and of those that did a number pulled in before race end. Certainly not the sort of temperatures for your car in its condition. I dont normally get affected by heat, but I left mid afternoon.
