Water injection and racing & more

[Robert Humphris]

This was a common device used by some of the thundersaloon teams to cool
off disks , the ammount of water used is minimal, and it won't go on the
track as the heat on the disks vaporises any residue fluid...

As for DIY EFI, I don't think that it has much to do with it, though
neither has Aero engines, catalytic cracking, ceramic coatings et al, I
for one am happy that we have an eclectic mix of 'performance' and
technical subjects on this list.
