Red Horse re hook
|
What are everyones thoughts about when the smoke tube collapsed and caused the issue with Blagraves run? Its hard to believe that backpressure could cause the tractor to quit or be down on power? Possible that the air being pulled into Red Horse was lower on O2 and therefore could not burn the fuel?
Thoughts? |

My view
|
My thoughts were that he simply shut it down as to the fact he couldn’t see ahead of him and possibly the flagger as well |

I would absolutely say it was the back pressure. I also believe he was laying down the winning run |

Smoke Tube Rule

Louisville rule?
If there is a smoke tube problem, back out of it and they will measure you, stay in it and they disqualify you. Stan backed out of it. |

He broke right in front of me and it was definitely a smart choice to back off, I’ve watched the video I took over and over and you couldn’t see him or the front of the tractor,very crappy situation |

Absolutely

Back pressure will absolutely hurt power |

Smoke Tube

Looks like it might be time to allow a bigger pipe on a DSS. I think that alone is choking them down also. Be interesting if any of them ran back pressure sensor to get that reading. |

The fan pulling on the smoke tube out side the building sucks harder than the engine blows other wise it would be of no use |

It is very obvious sitting in the stands the diesel supers and some diesel pros are overpowering the smoke machine or tube, when they rev up the tube grows in length by 10 or more ft. That is why there is a size limit on the pipe. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know two short pipes into one long pipe will have restriction . I don't know their flow numbers but I would bet that Galot's cylinder head flows more air than any diesel. The smoke machine would not have a chance hooked to alky supers. Mark M. |

I'm not 100% sure he was going to win but it was going to be second place at the very least and it was going to be very, very close... just like they were the night before with the speed he had he might have just edged out GALOT II.
I don't know if Stan let off the throttle (nobody could see him with all the smoke) or if the smoke and back pressure just killed the engine but either way it snuffed it in a hurry. Their rehook was still a pretty pass but it never had the ground speed of the first hook. At 150 ft you just knew that it wasn't on the same caliber of pass as the first one. Overall it was an awesome show and it was extremely exciting to see which fuel would win. I'm already excited to see them run against each other next Winter.

If you watch the video on their Facebook page you can tell by the sound he didn't let out but it was snuffed out. |

bad air
|
Maybe - but when the engine has to suck in exhaust complete with a lot of soot, it isn't going to run well. They did the right thing by re-hooking him. |

I agree and not saying he shouldn't have rehooked. It was obvious something affected the tractor and caused it to lose power, most likely the back pressure and dirty intake air. |

rehook for sure, -- showed smoke tube flattened, however the second close in time run usually never matches first hook |
