DRR Trophy |
What are you using to stay cooler inside the ****pit? Any particular style or brand of fan? Anything moving air in the summer in Texas is a plus. | ||

Just built something that I hope makes the heat more bearable. Bought a small heat exchanger (approx. 7x10”, about 1” thick), a 12v brushless fountain pump, and a 12v ‘bilge fan.’ Cut a hole in an oil smallish ice chest, and fit the fan in place so that it sucked air in. Then cut another hole to fit a pvc 90, and screwed the heat exchanger under the hole. Put a small enclosure on one side of this thing with a 12v 10aH battery, fuses, switch, and a charging connection. Put ice packs, frozen milk jugs, frozen 2 liters, just loose ice, etc. in with a couple quarts of water, it’ll run 2+ hours on battery power alone and make 48-52 degree air the whole time. In “testing”, ice should easily last an entire day of racing. Honestly works much better than I thought some redneck engineering would ever work. Not much use in a dragster, but plenty compact enough for most door slammers. | |||

Hell according to some this whole sport is redneck engineering. Hey the first TF style clutch control was a screen door closer with air and and bleed off. America home of free. Brought to you by 2nd amendment. | |||

Monte, I think Troy Morgan used a cool vest at his last race. Check with him. Also, he most likely has the broken Super 10 fan that may have some name or number on it. Larry Woodfin | |||

If it's redneck and it works, it isn't redneck. LOL Nice job. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

As I age I just seem to want to race less in the heat... Night racing is good...ole guys have to nap all day to race all night.  | |||

The redneck air conditioner is a great idea. Only thing I see is you really should secure it if in a door car. I've seen the design before but never saw one using a heat exchanger, just ice. | |||

Man isn’t that the truth. Gates opening at 5:30 today for a double race. I got in bed last week after winning the race at 3:15. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||
