  Mike! Good work!!! :-)

  Now there's a guy I can relate to. :-) I've been wanting to try
something like that myself, but I couldn't figure out a good way to pull
it off. That indoor/outdoor thermometer was an excellent idea! I'm going
to have to try that myself. Another aspect to this that I've been
wanting to try is to measure the airflow (through a ram-air duct or
a hood scoop vent, for example.) That one I'm still trying to figure
out; but at least I know how to get the temps now! :-)

  Heh heh heh! Thermometers hanging out of windows, yarn taped to the
hood, pressure cookers recruited into ram-air duty... Anything in the quest
for performance! :-) They might call us crazy, but they'll do it from
behind, while staring at a tailgate. ;-)
