Will you guys please post some photos of your Chiller set ups?

I think we should all agree that after leaving your pit spot no one raises their hood until fuel check.

Wouldn`t it be great if NHRA allowed all the class car that are not allowed to tow to the staging lanes, pit close to those staging lanes, so they don`t get their engines too warm, and let the classes that are allowed to tow to the staging lanes, pit further away, since engine heat is not a concern? Common sense, I know, and unlikely to ever happen, but when you have to drive, thru the crowded pits from 1/2 mile away, and not allowed to cool the engine, certainly can put such vehicles at a performance disadvantage, especially in the case of a heads up race. Of course, I really doubt that NHRA officials would ever want the spectators to have to walk past a bunch of lowly Sportsman cars to get to the "PRO" pits, so they can get some autographs of the Nitro stars.

The Pro pits bring in the spectators. No Pro show, NO INDY, NO NHRA.....

EXACTLY! You ain't special and the spectators ain't there to see you.:D

Kind of like all the illegal blinders

Again, no victims, only willing participants!

I heard from a rep that the use of chillers is going to be the same as always. Behind the lanes is ok, in the lanes, not ok.

I remember in Topeka one year the tech guys were checking fuel cell temps because several were dropping dry ice in their fuel cells.

Was the co2 gas oozing out the vent like a decoration at Halloween Jim?

Exactly, check out the bleachers at most Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series events.. Known also a "points meet"
