A few years ago, when I drag raced an alcohol Funnycar, we had a coilled
fuel line that fit into a simple tin can. When we got up to the line, we
would slip in some dry ice into the can that would super chill the fuel as
it passed thru the coilled lines. (Alcohol only freezes at extremely low
temps) It worked great, best time of 8.43 @ 155mph. I have heard that some
honda boys are sticking chunks of dry ice on their intake manifolds at the
drag strip. I guess it works.....
