That DP of Barton's sounds wicked on the in-car cam.

It's nice to see the DP's and CJ's leaving like real race cars now too. A lot of nice pictures with the wheels up amongst those cars.

Great in-car with Tommy Sheehan. Keep up the good work, Ken.

Cool videos. I'm having a really good time I'm in the show by the skin of my teeth 127 first time I've made it I'm pretty excited!

I didn't think you could cool the cars down in the staging lanes anymore? Am I wrong? Jim

Jim

What you CAN'T do is... dump your water in the lanes.
That is a NO-NO.

However, you can cool your car in the lanes by other means. (ex... ice on your intake, portable cooling machines with hoses attached to the radiator, etc.). There is nothing wrong with these methods.

Thanks to Mopar for putting on a little dinner for us Mopar racers this afternoon. We had good burgers and brats and the fixin's. Here are a few shots from the dinner:

Yes, Jim you can cool the car down right up until they tell you to go and race. Its funny to watch, neither driver wants to unhook the water lines first. Its like a chess match..... But thats what class racing is all about.... LOL

Jim Wahl · 09-01-2011, 10:08 PM

OK! Thanks for the clarification sir! I was told at the last SportsNats I went to that you could not bring anything into the lanes that contained water. I.E. spray can, ice, nor could you use any spray chemical cooling devices. I.E. freon, CO2 etc. No? Jim
