[Fot] Fwd: Cold Fuel

[Bob Bownes -Seiri]

Smokey had some good tricks up his sleeve.  

I think one was enough fuel line to hold about a gallon of fuel that was wound back and forth in the roll cage.  

My favorite was, after they put in restrictor plates, he used the biggest studs he could to hold the carbs down, hollowed them out, filled them with wax, painted them black, and rolled the car over to Tech. They took the carb off, put on the restrictor plate, and sealed it up. Of course once it came up to temp, he had about 3/4” more airflow into the engine than everyone else...Said it took several races before they caught on.

One of the Nascar tracks has a section in their museum devoted to what’s been discovered as cheating over the years. It’s pretty interesting to see.

>> So, how cold does the fuel have to be in order to have any significant affect on volume?  I need to make 7.2 gallons of fuel go 75 minutes at Road America this weekend, where I typically burn a bit more than 1 gallon every 10 minutes.  I could soft-pedal it to save some fuel, but there is some quick competition out there.
