Bo, It's Elmo in Africa. Straight up!.
Here's what happened. My engineer on reboring etc is a drag racer and turbo guy too.
He put me in touch with a guy called Nasen who is the go to guy on ECU over here.
Nasen asked what my application was and I went through this long explanation.
His answer was that he knew what salt fever was and had been to SW in 08 and El Mirage in 2011.
Nasen has also been to Hakskeen and according to him the two tracks are identical but ours is a little less dusty.
Fuel wise the best I know of is 104 racing fuel.
I'll check with the local fuel suppliers on what other options there are. I do know that one of the regular pump fuels has a way higher lead content than what you're used to.
The Ethanol content is also less percentage wise.
The local guys that run at Hakskeen aren't racers like you guys.
They drive their cars to the venue and their race tuning consists of taking out the spare wheel and putting duct tape over the hood where it meets the fenders.
The bikers are a little more serious and I could be mistaken but someone went 200 on a Kawasaki.
The event is a big barbeque, camping, social get together.
I do know that the "safety crew" make you blow a breathalyzer before you run.
The highlight last year was the two brothers, one in a Lamborghini and the other in a P51D "racing" down the track.
The only cool thing I got out of seeing that stunt was the prop wash creating vortices around the car in a manner of speaking.
