sad sad day...

2 limp modes in the first 2 sessions of the day. first limp mode 2 laps before the end of the 25 min session, 2nd limp mode half-way into the 2nd session. Heater on for the 2nd session. Sessions 90min apart.

There's a fundamental difference today, at 85F ambient, water temps are not dropping on the straights, as I reported in my previous event (which was at ~60F). They're hovering at 109-111C. I don't know if they spiked higher, once you get an engine malfunction, the water temp display disappears in favor of the half engine symbol.

I'll try to read codes tonight after the event. 2 more sessions to go today and tomorrow the forecast is for 90F+ weather. sigh...
