West Track Day... Was:RE: And then there was boost

[marc at getty.net (Marc Getty)]

Yes. That happened on my way out to Vegas from Philadelphia.

On the way back I blew a radiator hose on the same stretch of nothingness.
After waiting for it to cool down which took forever at 100 degrees I took
the hose off, shortened it, and put it back on. That hose lived until the
car died 6 months later.

OMG, has this really happened to you?  You must be talking about the stretch

between Green River and I don't remember the other town, but I will never 
forget Green River.  I was luckier; I was getting off I-70 at Green River 
for gas and before the end of the off ramp the alt light came on.  Bearings 
shot.  Had to have it rebuilt there.  What a nightmare.
