Late8pex had a question which triggered a thought for me.
I've heard from people I trust.. that the sheetmetal/engine shelf is not necessary on a race only 4 cylinder car..... So group and brad... what is the consensus regarding this for a 6 cylinder race only car... On my conversion trailered race car... can I cut the engine shelf out if my class rules allow it? (ditto for the engine tin?) TIA brant |

And what is that engine cooling fan doing during the off track excursions? I would think that, without the tin, lotso stuff flying about would get sucked up and deposited atop the cylinders/heads. With the tin, the crud has a much more difficult path to the engine room......pure theory here, but logical.
