Speaking of cool, can you provide more detail on these cooling machines?
Are they common and how do they work?

Here's one thread...I didn't go this year but last year I was amazed how many were in use....

Chiller or cool down rigs have been used in circle track racing for years - a common sight on practice days at NASCAR races

Here is a link to one from C&R that's for drag racing. http://www.crracing.com/custom-built...ts/the-chiller


And for those interested - here is an example of a circle track version. http://www.crracing.com/custom-built...iii-circulator

Guys,
Thanks for the cooler/chiller information. We used to flush ten gallons of water through the system and ice the intake manifold which was key on a Max Wedge and it was worth at least .050. When it was 140 before I did my burnout it would run the best.
Back in the day at the Summernationals at Etown ice was priceless.

They have been used around the strip for a few years as well. I know Bill Glidden has used one on his 10.5 car for a while now.......except I think his is home built.
