slide job...the easiest way in not what you want..the best most thorough is what you want...so it never bites you in the ass at a race..First off ..as soon as possible..I admire teams that do it at the track..but I usually wait till the day after the race -at the shop-while I'm cleaning the car...I drain and compressed air dry every part-line -nozzel -fuel pump -barrel valve-high speed -lowspeed.. got it ...everything that contains fuel.I also pull the sparkplugs and rotate the motor to make sure no fuel is lying in a cylinder[it will etch a bore] then I spray a small amount of Marvel mystery oil in each cylinder and rotate the motor to coat the cylinder bore lightly..also put a little in the fuel pump and use compressed air to spray some threw all the lines...I clean and check all the nozzels ..lube the treads with newersieze and reassemble everything...one last thing ..If you back off the rockers to relieve the spring pressure..never loosen a loaded[under pressure spring] rotate the motor till the rocker is free..if you pickle the car for the winter ..drain the fuel tank.alky absorbs moiture so the fuel needs to be stored out of direct sunlight,in a cool dry enviorment in a sealed container...pull the bladder and wash it with mild detergent right before you put the car back in action ...if you do all this -you'll have a good chance at never suffering a fuel system problem at the track...thats just the fuel system...service the rest of the car and you'll have 20 hours of work in for every hour of track time..WELCOME TO OUR WORLD of SPRINT CAR RACING..that's why the guy said 'you've got to be kidding'. thing is It's an 'E' ticket ride for that 1 hour ,good luck
