That's really interesting, thanks for the real world anecdote. A friend and I were joking a long while back about packing a bazillion gauges in a Lemons car just for the intimidation factor, and one of the ideas was a coolant pressure gauge, and we realized it could actually be useful.
Auto-Union had aluminum frames pressurized with nitrogen, and they plumbed a gauge in the frame so that the driver could see if the frame cracked during a race.
I was upset that I did not get to talk to you guys. I was busy getting all the cameras setup for the live ChumpCast Live! Show. The car looked awesome though when I was up in the tower.
Hopefully we can see you guys at Sebring.
I started using a water pressure gauge a few years ago when I watched someone else's radiator hose come off and they didn't realize it until it was too late. It is very helpful in catching problems before they become a crisis.

With a sarcastic comment toward NASCAR's dwindling fan base. Or he could just be knocking NASCAR, what do I know? I am just post-whoring on this one.
Having been at both the Daytona 24 and the Daytona 500 this year - those seats aren't there to make the NASCAR crowd look bigger 
It's everyone else...
