But frank has this P-51, aerodynamically designed airbox, altitudinal,
compression cooloing theory!

Better turn that spell_checker back on. You've been riding Frank about
typos LOLOLOL !!!


Mine are typos, his on the other hand, are simply misspelled... I don't
use spell check because, I don't need it.

So I'm guessing that discussing "micro-finishes" would be out of the
question then, huh?
Whooooooosh!
Passed you in both lanes...
Google that & get back to me.

Get back to me on this;

Check with your guy at Dover. Ask him how they keep engines cool on short
tracks with rpm ranges from a high around 9000'ish on the straight aways,
to a lot lower in the corners, then back to the 9000 rpm range in short
order, etc. for a bunch of laps, you know, a short track race. Constant
high/low rpm's minus high speeds, opposed to a more constant high speed
run at a super speedway with limited low speed runs under a caution.
The speed at a short track develops more than sufficient airflow to cool a
high pressure system as long as all of the components are in working order.
High pressure, high boiling point. How's that?
All without Letarte's help too!
Unfortunately this still doesn't explain how an externally plugged radiator
would cool better at low speeds.
Are we back to your compression theory again?

Brutal conditions, but the cooling system goes back to what I taught you
before, it is designed to work at all speeds for the length of any race.
As long as everything is working properly, I KNEW THAT ALREADY!
Keep ignoring the fact that Gordo's rad was plugged with rubber and you
claimed it would cool better at slower speeds.
C'mon, backpedal some more for me.

A clarification on an aforementioned question on my profit margin hardly
qualifies as bragging.

no problem .......... but FTR, what then, would be the point of pointing
it out ??
I'm good, and if I weren't, I wouldn't do as well in this business. I am
offering no more personal info in regards to this as I have already said
more than I should have.

He claimed it was too low, I corrected his claim.
So sorry I offended you.

you'll have to go some to offend me. This is cyber_world ............ i.e.
those without thick skin need not apply

Yup. Can't argue with you there.

Quote:
Also noticed you spend a lot of time in this thread as well.

Two things:

I'm interested in the technical discussion about cooling, pumps etc.
.... &
The debate between yourself and Frank intrigued me

Fair enough.

Quote:
Does this qualify you as a "groupie" as well?

No ........... because I can't list 4 drivers who would like me to pass
along a 'hello'

hell ................ let's face it, - while we may not ALL be groupies,
.... we're (i.e. most everyone in here) all racing JUNKIES



Yup.

Mike/Speed, I am not backpeddling. Gordo's system was not functioning
properly and it turned into a "Stanley Steamer." Quite possibly clogged,
but you and I do not know for sure. My statements about compression are
true, not a theory. Used in race planes since WWII, with some water
injection in front of the radiator, the radiator cools more efficeintly and
the resulting steam creates thrust, makes a plane go faster. The principle
is the same with the box in front of a NASCAR radiator. I will ask around
next week and at MIS in June about any rules governing the radiator box (I
believe there are rules to prevent any aero advantages) due to shape of the
radiator box.
