Had this happen to me twice – once on the street, once on track. Great thing to keep an eye on.

Yeah somehow that large plastic grub screw that pins the radiator shroud in place popped out of the cup it sits in. I’m watching that like a hawk now. If I hadn’t caught it I kinda think my last Seattle to Spokane and back run in 90F plus weather would not have gone well. I was into the cords.
