Not a fine. They have no collection booths set up on 121, so they take a picture of every vehicle/license plate that goes through. IF you have a toll tag, that amount is taken out of your toll tag account. If you don't have a toll tag, you get an invoice in the mail. The tolls for non-tag holders are a little higher than for tag holders. For instance, in one spot on the NT Tollway, non-toll tag vehicles pay 75c at the window, but toll tagged vehicles are only dinged for 60c.

Had a great time as usual and learned a lot.
Mainly what I learned was the you can make a diesel sound like a gasser that has just backfired
(Ask Brian about blowing an IC boot)
BIG thanks to Brian for helping me on my FASS HPFP install (ok, doing my install while I handed him tools
)
I hope Tyler's finger is ok, wonder if he has become a lefty yet
Thanks again to Charlie for the use of his facilities and the excellent fajitas.
RJ, thanks for pointing out the LMC catalog, my pocketbook will now be thinner thanks to you.
Justin, thank you for not strapping me inside the engine bay while doing an 80mph pass so I could check you AC pressures.

Well, the good news is that the A/C did blow a little colder on the way home than it did on the way up there. I guess blowing 60* instead of 75* is an improvement. Bad news is that the compressor is making noise again when it first kicks in...so it's sitting at the shop right now waiting to get the diagnosis.
Maybe I should just spend the A/C money on go-fast goodies and just drive with the windows down. Moving faster has to blow cooler air.
