Help Me Cool Down
One warm up pass around the pits two when its cold and the rest of the day we were running the pump and fans to get it cool for the next round. One inch seams to work the best as per the Direct Connection 50 yr old manual.
I have seen guys use a ball and homemade die to hammer a taper in the hole. Face the protruding side toward the hose. Thermostats usually fail closed. The washer eliminates the chance of it happening and watering down the track and the rear tires on the big end..
I have two bottles on the car One recovery and one catch can hooked to the top of the recovery that is mounted in front of the tire under the fender. You can see the line going to the catch can through the existing hole for the battery tray with the rubber grommet installed .
On a NASCAR they blow the steam out of the drivers side hood to keep it off the rear tires especialy the left/outside tire. After every 1/4 mile pass we drain the catch can. You cannot do that on a 300-500 mile race, And dirt cars the water just makes the track tackier.
I don't drive my car in the winter and I don't have a heater core hooked up. I cover the outlets with the coil.
The defrosters still clear the windshield on the inside and the wipers on the outside for night racing. Or when I get excited and start breathing heavy.
