As expected (due to the weather reports all week) our Friday night races were rained out. For those who keep up with my posts, due to work obligations I won't get back to the track as a participant until mid to late June. The down time will give me the opportunity I need to drop the pressure plate out and send it to Ram for its counterweight modification.

To make this post educational and somewhat worthwhile, I'll include some pics the Hot Not brand Nomex sleeves that I WILL BE WEARING the next time that I am messing around hot headers. (I received a nasty 2nd degree burn last week--it is healing nicely.) These sleeves are good for a constant 500 degrees, 700 degrees intermittently handled materials, and for accidental contact up to 1300 degrees. They have the bag lady type holes that allow me to use my fingers for sensitive operations and they are cotton lined for comfort.

These were donated by a good friend after he saw my injury.

*NOTE: No hand models were injured in the filming of these pictures:
