Ferrari Mailing List: Re: your car

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

 

Clyde admonishes the unclean “I would strongly advise all of you to log the temps of your car in adverse conditions . . . “

 

Good point Clyde.

 

Picture this – Mid 1970’s at Riverside Int’l Raceway – Labor day in SoCal’s high desert.  Hot hot hot.  We’re racing an air cooled 911 Porsche.  Engine temps get hotter than scary hot.  Quite a distraction.  Oh what to do?  What to do? 

 

Easy - - - re-plumb the 2 gallon sized windshield washer reservoir bottle with a hose to the engine compartment and end it with a windshield washer squirter.  Aim the squirter into the engine fan and wire a turn signal flasher relay to a switch on the dash to a windshield washer squirter motor. 

 

Going down the 12 mile long (seemingly) back straight, flip the switch on – squirt – squirt - squirt, and watch the temps drop faster than the re-sale value of a new Ferrari.

Somehow the squirt squirt squirt sequence also seems to hit a sensual pleasure point –  but now at my age I can’t recall what that might have been.  Ah well - -
