I'm trying to secure a spot in the Runoffs this weekend. A decent finish at Grattan will allow me to attend this year.
If anyone's interested in spectating or helping out, I'm in the 5th run group. 2 qualifying sessions on Saturday and the race is on Sunday. Our race on Sunday should be just after lunch. Directions and information about the track: Grattan Raceway Website It's early in the morning and I'm about to head out for a rainy practice day.... |

I'm running no engine tin (except for the stuff around the cylinders). As I understand it, the engine tin is for low speed or no speed conditions, where there's no airflow. I'm not overheating in those conditions. I find it hard to believe that I'm getting hot (exhaust heated) air in the fan inlet when I'm going 100 mph, but there could be some strange flow that I don't know about.
I'll figure out someway to run the stove pipe. I hate to cut the hole and then not use it for Jake's DTM cooling system. I can't just cut the hole to the passenger compartment because the rules state you can use lighting openings to supply air, but do not allow you to make your own. |
