How long would that take to burn off? Would it be of any benefit on a shorter run like a qualifier?
I think that was the idea, extra power for a short time to bring his times up. It should have evaporated long before Tech, but maybe the colder ambient air temps slowed the evaporation up a bit.
Sterno is a fuel, the restrictor plates choke off the amount of air getting in, there is enough fuel available, its the air they need, hence the oxygenates they try to put in the fuel, or NOS (Nitrous Oxide NO3) or in this case as a gel in the intake. Sterno is alcohol based (Methanol) and has less heat value than gas, it evaporates much slower than gas, my guess is that sterno would dilute the air fuel ratio and slow them down.
Again this is all supposition as they haven't released what it was yet.
Greasemonkey.
Is racewoman still in Ontario ? Just wondering if she's down in Daytona and accidentally got some of her peroxide in Mikey's intake. lol
[move]racenut I know where to find you lol ;D [/move]
rumour was that it was teriyaki sauce. (Whole team should have been given the boot or Mikey could have done us a favour and committed hari-kiri on national tv so we don't have have to listen to his bi-polar personality)
