No clue, I could only see the top of his head for a second or two. Prolly not long enough to be wiping the rubber dust off the tires, maybe he was just looking for leaks or whatnot.

I'm not much up on alcohol motors, I spent a little time with Jerry Darian many, many years ago when I was helping out with the bad blood top alcohol hydro boat which was the record holder at the time IIRC. I never played with car dragsters at all.

I learned a little from Jerry but only about .000001% of what he knew about alcohol motors. He was and is still regarded as one of the best.

I ran my boat to alcohol for a couple of test runs in the 80's but immediately went back to racing gas after a rod let go. $$$$$
A used bare donovan hemi block cost me $6k after it was all prepped and refurbished and that was back when I was making $18 an hour.
