    At 9 hours I did an oil sample analysis to confirm engine is well after the rebuild. Analysis showed no concerns.

    Had DB-3 at track the past couple days in Arizona and I can assure you the cooling system on car is well suited for 'very warm' running conditions. I have a pair of fiberglass side cuffs from Tom Irwin at T3 Composites that are used to reduce some airflow through side vents to radiator. They also make aerodynamics of car a little better. These will go with sale of car, I just haven't gotten around to getting them mounted for winter running.

    Car now has 10 hrs and 40 mins on engine.
