What does everybody think about running the light super stocks in such a small building.

]Man, is this really something to complain about? I was at several indoor arena and saw multi engine mods run on a 140' track with no run off area. Gordyville has plenty of room and a great BIG sandpile; I don't see the problem.

Well,
I am a little concerned about the alky fumes.
I started mine up in the shop this past Wed. and MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Talk about eyes and nose hairs burning!!!!!!!!!!! But that was in a 27x54 shop.
I can't remember what the size of building Gordy is, but it is ALOT bigger than my shop, and the way Klint has the classes staged, it should be okay.

Should be a good time as long as it is warm enough for the tractors to start and perform.

go ahead and put the smoke tubes on the alchys that smoke machine can suck alcohol exhaust out as well

If any alcohol is left in that tube and then one detonates, that tube might become the biggest tubine you've ever seen!!!!
I forgot to add, in my above post, we are supposed to get an additive at the pull to help cut down on the smell of the fumes.

I think it is a top lube.(and don't anyone turn that around either) I am not sure if it is coming from VP or who. Where are you guys staying on friday night? And I think that there will be plenty of the drinking kind of alcohol inside at the pull!!!!!!!!Smiling

I will never use VP scented top lube EVER AGAIN!!! I can not get that smell out of my Shop! Their fuel is awsome, I have been using M1 but has anyone ever used their M5? It doesn't require any top lube, so I hear. More power out of it supposedly.

I have never used the M5. I was going to try it at Gordy untill I found my block cracked after this year. I figured I better leave things alone as far as fuel is concerned so I don't have to work on it for the summer pulls while I am getting everything else ready for spring planting.

It is just scent, no lube to it. We are going to have to concentrate on keeping the air in the building as clean as possible. It's going to be cold, so opening the doors is a last resort. But I hear it's going to be a DRY COLD!

Re: Gordyville, IL Light Super Stock January 10, 2009 03:08PM
Klint told me that himself about the additive. The way he talked, it was not going to be that much that we have to put in. Bring your top lube with you and if you have to, mix it there. He did tell me, they would supply it, but I do not know how much we will all get.
Yes the forecast is cold, but remember, this is Illinois, the forcast can change in an hour.

I am sure honest rod will be at Gordy. He may try to sell it even though it is not his.
