Re: Dry ice?
At the old Vegas track I had a heads up and put fuel in fuel jug, set jug in ice chest. Covered fuel cell with wet towels and ice. Filled car with cold fuel and picked up a tenth. I was still 2 tenths behind but it did work on a 90 degree day

Re: Dry ice?
What difference does it make how many times Erica checked the air pressure?

Re: Dry ice?
I not gonna name names but a few year ago I stood guard as my boy D2 racers
Put dry ice right into the fuel cell. I wanted do run but as he said Perrone dry ice is just real cold air just don’t tight fuel cell lid. Lol

Re: Dry ice?
It shouldn't matter if the lid is tight if your vent is working properly.

Re: Dry ice?
From what I've seen it doesn't seem to "boil" and churn gas as much as it does water. Foam in the cell may keep it above the fuel if you don't force it into the mesh. Anyone ever test to see how much, if at all, it actually cools the intake charge? A carb atop a cast iron intake must be like a blast furnace compared to the fuel temp. Might it just be a distraction? Like having Erica endlessly checking your tire pressure?
I know it does keep your frozen food frozen in a good cooler!! |

Re: Dry ice?
I doubt cooling the fuel would make much difference. Now cooling the intake air would. I don’t have any problems with fuel volume. But denser intake air would be a game changer. No one seems to run a cool can any more.

Re: Dry ice?
I think that big wheelies and harder launches just phased out the cool cans.
