The crew chief in me says no problem,just drive the thing. The driver says set it up so its not issue that your job ALBERT! Man those two have always fought !

Raced mine for 5 years as a bracket car. Hardest thing for me is to keep the engine temp consistent from round to round, without running any water. This past weekend, made 7 passes between 8.420 - 8.439 on a track with 138 temp. Have to work the car and get it setup. Then its up to the driver to drive the finish line. Good luck.

I found this a very interesting post. Judy thought I'd say that.

I am hoping I can control temp with richening and leanout valve I have in system. I have run injected dry motors for years in bracket cars and never had a temp issue,except making sure I have enough. I have a chart that should help me make predictions due to engine temps same as weather changes. Plus holding a cpl is norm and knowing I will have to shed them at finish line. If temps creep up I just have to know I have 1 or 2 more to shed. If it was easy it would be boring,but cashing checks never boring.LMAO

When I bracket raced mine it had a hand brake.
I think a brake pedal would have been a little easier for working the finish line.
