Nascar, Micheal Waltrip< Toyota!

They had heavy oil mixed with Propylene Oxide/Methanol Mix

They also cutoff the oil sump tank and oil circulation system to keep the "HOT OIL" in the engine only. Bypassing the dry sump system.
SMART THINKING!

NASCAR pulls a sample out of the oil tank, So they could not find the "HOT OIL' in use.

The only reason they were found out was the inspector smelled the Propylene Oxide/Methanol Mix in the engine oil that had puddled in the intake. He had it on his hands when he felt down in the intake during the inspection and installation of restrictor plate.

The engine had a problem, when the dry sump was disconnected the crankcase vent system was not working correctly, caused oil to puddle in the intake from excess oil collecting around the valves.





NOTE: We did this a lot in karting when their was no oil check rule.
"Hot oil" can turn a engine on!!!!

Where do you get this stuff?
Sounds like a slick way to get some xtra HP.
Do you simply add to the engine oil and count on bypass to allow it into the induction air?
How much do you use?

From what I read they said there was a possible pill in the fuel line and or something added to the intake that might dissolve during the run .

NASCAR said it was never seen before, there is a report out that it was a rocket fuel component, possibly boron gel. NASCAR said you don't find this stuff on a "steet corner", and rocket fuel gel would fit that description.

Never said F1 was a sport! Look at my first post; I said driving a car isn't a sport. I never said driving a car was easy. Digging ditches for a living ain't easy either but I wouldn't call it a sport.

There was a sports writer/amature Triathlete at a mag over in England who said the same thing. Well the guy who covers the auto races overheard him and got one of the F1 teams to let this guy train with their drivers for a week. Long story short the sports writer/amature triathlete called it quites after the third day. He said he had no idea you had to be in that kind of shape to drive a race car.

Why do 3/4ths of the Nascar drivers look like they train at Hooters by lifting wings & beer?

There has always been cheating in NASCAR and they never used to penalize it severely enough to deter it. Maybe its different now.

Once I even had the privilege of hearing Gary Nelson tell stories of cheating.

For me, cheating goes two ways. One is the Colin Chapman approach, which was to look for loopholes in the rule book. The other is hiding things that are clearly forbidden.

I was surprised to read what a long history NOX has in NASCAR.
