could be a combination of running the coolant through the frame and maybe a small rad up front. For racing they would cycle the coolant between runs, and probably run it on alcohol witch would run alot cooler to begin with. Lokks like alot of fun.

cooldown cart.. like a drag sled makes a pass then runs coolant threw the motor...

the first motor that was in it was a methonol injected bridgeport that had the water jackets filled with concrete.. he said he could only make a couple passes then took forever to cool down.. :lol:
