Amici...

Bob Wismer arrives at SEBRING today with our Tornado TR3 Thunder Bolt.  On 
that car we actually moved the whole coolant catch tank under the car and behind 
the left rear wheel.  I know that sounds weird, but there's plenty of room 
back there, and it works for us.  We just have to remember to 'check it' after 
sessions.

Our issue was that car does over heat sometimes, and while we had plenty of 
room for the catch tank under the bonnet, we always seemed to end up water 
skiing on our own slop when it was up front...so we moved it.  Now the people 
behind us (when and if there is somebody) get to deal with that.

Lot of our stuff is weird, but no one has more fun than we do.
