General Regulations, Section 21, Page 5
Fuel/Air: Any method of artificially cooling or heating fuel
prohibited (i.e., cool cans, Freon, wet rags, etc.), except as
noted in Class Requirements. Cool cans, wet towels, etc. are
permitted in Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas,
Super Street, and E.T. classes. Wet towels, rags, ice, etc. must
be removed before vehicle leaves staging area. Coolers, chillers,
etc., where permitted by class requirements, are prohibited
outside of the competitor’s pit. Ambient-temperature air only;
cooling or otherwise changing the conditions of the intake air is
prohibited. Spraying of intake with any artificial spray or coolant
prohibited.

I for one dont care which way the rule should be written, but I have 2 questions.
1 With the current way rule is written can you leave ice in the cool fuel container when going down track?
2 I asked this question before but having bags of ice on the hood constitute cooling the air around carb?
