On the lap around the track the car temp gauge spiked. Limped it back to the pits, coolant had came out the coolant reservoir. I had noticed it earlier and thought I may have over filled it. NOT!!!! It appears I was pushing a little coolant on every high boost run. I developed a air pocket. Car over heated. Bleed the system back and and took it for a drive. Temps are fine. I didn't kill the motor but it got dang hot 268 deg. It will have to come back out sometime in the future. At the moment it will stay on low boost until then.
