Ian, you don't have to re-tune the car for cold manifolds and cold fuel to help. You are mistaken there. Btw, you need to fix that black smoke at start-up. That tends to wash oil from the cylinder walls, which is a ring seal killer.

Wade, our tech director told me, about a year ago, I could have a cool can, but I had better not get caught with anything in it during a run. Could use it in the pits, then need to empty it before running.

Re: Fuel temperatures
 

If fuel temps are not important then why are the Alky classes limited to a certain fuel temp and why does every PS team chill their fuel? The alky fuel team I do work for has a freezer in their trailer. They keep more than Chicken Pot pie & TV dinners in it. DuH!

Re: Fuel temperatures
 

It is important. About everybody I know cools their fuel if they have a tough heads-up coming up. Chuck Nelson said not to chill it during a run. I used to use dry ice in the cool can on my '56 Chevy Jr Stocker. I don't have one now, I chill it before like Chuck said to. I have seen the fuel check take a second, kinda puzzled, look at my fuel temp at fuel check, they have never said anything. If they do look at the car, there is nothing to see. I have seen small freezers in trailers, just about right for a fuel jug. I don't have room for one. You shoulda walked through the staging lanes before SS class at Indy. LOL
