DQ for "icing"?

I was guessing he got to the top end and only had cake left, and the tech guys would only eat it with icing...lol

At Indy the white Camaro From Cal. B/SA had CO2 pellets on the intake, not ice.

dry ice is very dangerous

Hey Vic, please elaborate, there could be some very good reason for not allowing it, but outside of keeping it off of bare skin and not loading up the cockpit of a plane with it, I can't think of what the issue is. Help me out. I use it sometimes in my cooler to keep my food cold over the weekend and I didn't see any skull and crossbones on it. I have seen some pretty stern warnings on cigarette wrappers and NHRA loved that. LOL

This reminds me of what the great Jim Marshall told me once at the Sports Nats in Ohio. " Back east we bring our horse power for racing and ICE for our beer

. One of the funniest lines I ever heard. I don't drink much,so I use most of it on the car. That sounds like a judgement call that NHRA uses. I bet there are a few racers that they would let that slide for, not for most though.

Hi Larry,

We used ice and poured cold water through the engine at Indy. Please do not respond for us. Thank you for the consideration. See you at the races.

What's unfortunate is one guy drops some ice cubes on the track and get's DQ'd and another drops a header collector which hits the 330' photocell and doesn't get DQ'd; all at the same race!

Can dry ice pellets be dumped into a radiator? At Indy, I saw something a bit odd. During Stock class eliminations, I saw a racer dump what appeared to be ice into his radiator, but then saw him "fishing" out pieces of plastic that were floating around in the tank, almost like "pellets" that may have been packed in plastic.
