Blue Ridge Rotary Run - 2011

Oh, just an update for those that were standing around helping to troubleshoot my malfunctioning blow off valve:

One of my first thoughts turned out to be right. Higher altitude results in the car drawing less vacuum. The Tial requires a certain amount of vacuum to overcome the spring inside so it can operate properly. As I went further down the mountain, the better it worked. Once I was back at my "normal" altitude, the BOV operates flawlessly.

Damned science...
