Can somebody explain this to me.
If someone on the list put their cooler inside the trunk, they would be flamed out the wazoo. Found this pic in my 914 test report folio book. The car is Richie Ginther's production racecar that had factory backed support. The text says they put the cooler in the trunk and that even in the hot CA climate, no problems with overheating. They were running a tweaked 2.0 -6. These guys seem to know what they are doing, so what do they know that we don't? dr Attached image(s)

QUOTE(synthesisdv @ Aug 16 2004, 02:01 PM) what do they know that we don't? they know that an SCCA sprint race is only about 30 minutes long... it looks to me as if they've pulled the Nylon cups that the top clips would have fit in; that provides a way for -some- air to get in. can't see if they might have left the tail lights loose or provided another means for 'some' heated air to get out... |
