"E" Gas Coupe Build

[Rob]

G'day Tony,

Given the short distances we run, wouldn't it be easier to run a lighter oil in the hubs?

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob,

We will be using a light oil in the hubs, its the same as our engine, differential and transmission oil.  As part of our staring procedures all the oils and engine water will be per-heated.  Some of the NASCAR guys use the hub heaters before qualifying on the long tracks like Talladega  Superspeedway which is 2.66 miles (4.28 km).    Tony

Struth- when I first saw the photo I thought you must have been into kinky sex or something! Was quite relieved when when I read what they really were.

Scared me Tony, I looked at the picture before I read and I thought you were in trouble with the wife from the old pit crew post and she picked up some ankle and wrist restraints with electric hookup to torture you....
Luckily it is car parts.... you gonna need a 10KW generator to get this thing going?  I figured the 100 degrees at the salt was warm enough for synthetic oil to work right....
