Danny, the point I was trying to make was that I believe it IS ok to have your fuel check cold.

The rules specifically state that cool cans are ok, in no less than two places in the rule book. If you are allowed cool cans, how can you not be allowed to present a cold fuel sample? And honestly, on most days, by the time you take the sample, walk over and stand in line with the cup in your hand, the fuel has warmed quite alot anyway.

I'm sure I'll get a lot of S**T for this but I don't owe this to anyone I discovered it on my own.
You take Dry Ice and put it directly in a 5 gallon fuel jug with about 3 gallons of gas. Small chunks, no cap as they disapeer you ad more till it gets to the temperature you want.
I though you stock superstock racers would have figured this out yourselves.
I guess it doesn't cost much so it goes below the radar.

What is the temp to shot for?

First, I am a bracket racer not a stocker so don't have to play by all your rules.

I run a cool can (acually a small cooler with a heater core in it and yes i did check for any flow restrictions

) on my return line right before my cell.

Did the math and mounting it up front , the cooled fuel only lasts about 100 feet down the track, after that it is traveling too fast for any real heat exchange.

Did more math, with a 8 gallon cell, if I run just the fuel pump (car off) I will get one complete exchange every 3 minutes.

Run it for 3 minutes in the pits, all fuel get cooler, then driving to the staging lane takes atleast 3 minutes, another exchange,cooler yet. Then staging etc , you get the point.

A side benefit of running it threw the system/return is everything acts like a heat (cold?) sink gets cold, fuel lines, fittings, reg, carb.

I raced 2 races, one was great air etc with no cooler. The other was brutal 165 degree track temp in thin air. Everyone else was off by 2 tenths, no B.S. , I was a tenth almost 2 quicker.

Take it for what you will.
