I bet the o2 housing originally was not 100% flat surface, exhaust gases were able to heat up that area melting it down. It could also be due to the flange machining- heat doesn't like sharp pointy edges (subtle burnt valve relief CP post)

Interesting tire fact; for maximum wet traction, a tire must be able to evacuate 200 liters of water per second at 250km per hour.

Silvadene is the ish! Thats what the nurse used on my hand yesterday, and it feels like a million bucks today. Still a little tender, but better than I could have expected.

Sounds like we should team up and drive while riding laps. I do gas (and a little bit of brake

) and you steer. Nguyen, Nguyen! We can even drive in 2 different heats, double the track time... This is gonna be AWESOME!
