Did the Dow #7 do anything for air sealing???

Or was it corrosion resistance only?

Ah ah ah â good one Martin.

 

Yeah â the RSR we crewed on was owned by Daddy Big Bucks.  One thing good I can about him racing is that he didnât use his funds to buy a small private plane and take up piloting.  That bozoâs luck would have had him auguring into a crowded primary school during an assembly.

 

D. B. B. insisted on the use of the pretty and cheap (compared to smacking up a factory set of Fuchâs RSR wheels) BBS wheels.  You know the three piece wheels with two big O rings and 6 gazillion 5mm Allen screws and nuts?  Mess up one of those O rings and there is a new resealing party starting in 10 minutes and ya better show up at the track with 5 sets of Allenâs as they seemed to strip out too easy.  Maybe we just got cheap screws?

 

Ahhhhhh â there was a time - - -

 

Heh heh, not no more.

Go back another 10 years and move the venue to the Northeast tracks.  We were running tube-type race tires tubeless to save the weigh and coating the magnesium race wheels with urethane paint to prevent air loss.

Picture this â 1977, Laguna Seca Raceway, the spring 4 four hour enduro will be starting in an hour.  Race wheels with new race tires waiting to mounted on the Porsche RSR are beside the car the car facing up while we do last minute checks on brakes and suspension.  There is a very light mist falling and the tires are getting wet.  I look over at the tires and our new GO-GO-Goodyearâs are making white walls.  What the hell - - - - ?  Ayep, billions and billions and billions of little white bubbles foaming trough the ever thin sidewalls.  My my.

 

I notice George Follmerâs and Jim Busbyâs tires, next to us, werenât fizzing.  My my again.  At that time, N2 fills were still a Penske-isk Unfair Advantage.

PS â One more spoof the public question:  When paying a bill using cash, ask them if they take Federal Reserve Notes.  Ya know, not even our post office will.  Alas.
