A tip of the hat to the management. Most if not all of the sportsman parking spots were marked with paint and very well organized. The pro teams kind looked like ants on a sugar cube with everyone doing their particular job in their pit space. We had a chance to see some pro stuff that I have never seen before fuel car headers that start square and exit round. Machine work on the blocs for weight reduction. Screw in plugs for the water jacket or the holes used to get the sand core out. Oil pan shape to help control windage. Quick disconnect ends on the oil lines. Dry sump oil system with a big pan my guess is the team is try to reduce crankcase pressure. I?m probably wrong but I enjoy the game of Why Did They Do That.
