        The round finned heat-sink that Marty saw at the Group-C race at Electric Dreams last year; ARE very effective at absorbing motor heat during pits between Heats.  All you have to do is – after cleaning your tires and braids, –flip your car upside down or, on its side, attach the heat-sink to the motor over the vent hole.  To increase cooling, blow on the heat-sink until you need to position it on the track.

        These can be purchased at:

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
