Cup RACE thread --- Bristol dirt

[Spotter22]

Okay, how do normal dirt cars keep dirt out of the engine? Better filters?

Look at the nose

They don’t have a Cup car snout

 

[JGR_20]

Same. I’m off to read Revelations to see if any other signs are happening…

come to think of it, theres an arbys that usually gets the orders mixed up… they got it right a night ago when i went there

dammmmnnn

 

[Blaze]

Should just take the Clash to a real dirt track and let them run dirt late models

Look at the nose

I’m not super familiar, but they don’t have a grille do they? Is only air intake the exposed air cleaner into carb? (Genuinely asking)

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m intrigued to see how Jr is in the Fox Booth, will he be DeGerbilized ?

 

[KTMLew01]

Do these cars run an air filter?

That's why IMO we need to leave dirt racing to the dirt guys with dirt cars

Okay, what am I looking for? It has to pull air in somewhere, doesn't it? Wherever that is, how do they keep the dirt out?

Drivers called to their cars.

 

[34R7H130UND]

They ask the guy in first place to analyze the track to see if we can race. Lmao

 

[Spotter22]

Chase is gonna say it sucks lol

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Drivers to their cars!

 

[StandOnIt]

[Blaze]

They draw air under the car

Is this going to be like turn 1 of the All Star many years ago when it was raining in turns 1&2 and the entire field wrecked?

Hopefully

I had no clue. Is there ducting? How do they filter it?

For the sake of this not being anymore of a disaster I hope not

That doesnt help the radiator.

Possibly

 

[StandOnIt]

Biggest surprise for me is the way SHR built their intake screens. You would think with all of their dirt experience they wouldn't have screwed that up.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Let’s just get a bunch of Crown Vics and run the rest of the race in them

Better view. Air filer covers carburetor/throttle body.

No filter. They arent sucked to the ground and when they lift the nose air gets to the radiator.

Looks like #1 is going to try to make a few more laps

That would probably be really fun to watch

Fair enough. Thanks for the enlightenment

 

[Nitro Dude]

Surprised they haven't called it yet

You must be watching a different race then I'm watching. That was a perfect shower to get the track back in perfect shape without using the water truck... so why would they call the race?

 

[KTMLew01]

Can't get dirt IN the engine thru the radiator. IN means it went IN the intake manifold.

Thanks for the explanation. Photos themselves aren't much good whn I don't know what I'm looking at.

If the engine doesnt get air that doesn't mean a thing.

Late night 100 lapper to decide bristol. Lets go
