??????? I didn't get that message, but then again I still use a flip ph. My 9.9L W/2 carbs = 1180 hp, all motor.

I'm using #6 AN fittings and hose, except on the cooler 3/8", to plumb it.

I have decided to change the flow sequence. Out of the engine, cooler, tank, bypass filter, back to the engine.

HAPPY EASTER

Not so much for bugs, they do no harm, especially when they disintegrate @ 180+ mph. The screens come in handy when following another race car back down the return road after a run. Their slicks are sticky and throw rocks back and could fly into the hood scoop and engine. That would be bad.

Yea... I learned a while ago where to position myself, standing near a nitro funny car at the starting pad.
( rubber bits ) - It will get a little messy !!
White uniforms is not the choice of a color!!!

Yeah I know they aren’t for bugs lol. Those would have to be some giant ass bugs.

I always hated the noise from the tiny pebbles picked up by the sticky slicks and flung into the wheelwell when driving down the return road

During my work on sport car racing ( sometimes I was the "tire guy").... After a test session or a race, I would have the car come into the pit stall. Change the hot slick tires to the rain ( treaded ) tires, so I didn't have to scrub all the tiny stones off, as we took the car to the garage area.
