Just change the gasket and weld her shut!
A lot of the(rice burner) super boost guys weld the heads to the block.
You can then run the car at 40 psi.....Don't know if you'll make turn 1 at Calabogie

Tabarnac.

Maybe the Tremblant "microclimate" will be kind to us by Monday after all?

If not, there's always the 5PM social.

Or you can go to another weather forecast website and see if the news is better :-)
I use this one because of their detailed wind data (Don't ask) an more granular bi-hourly forecast.

http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=116

Granted it is for Montreal not Tremblant, but it shows dry on Monday till 2 PM... and fairly OK for Tuesday.
I still prefer Ian's approach. You want to see rain in the forecast 4 days ahead of time, since they are all typically wrong anyway...

Anyway a rainy day at the track is better than a good day at the office
