I suppose they ought to consider officially allowing "dry ice".

I wondered if it was a hockey referee call or maybe the car was decorated like a cake.

So I emailed an informed source and he says that ice did land on the track and they pulled the car over on the return road.

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.

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.
