Evolution of Racing Engineering

that you will adjust to make the engine idle. Now, there's two different ways of doing the transfer slot. If you look in this back hole here, there's a a tiny little hole. Yeah. It almost looks like a like it's not even a hole, like a little speck. We filled it in with Devcon. And that hole was put in there back in the 60s when grandma had her 440 Cornet pulling to the gas station to get it full of fuel. She' tell the attendant, "Thing runs terrible." Well, the reason why is that the rear bowls, she never got into them. The engine would be running on stale fuel. Got it. So, they put that hole in there so it constantly drain the back bowls to keep fresh fuel in there. So, you know, being used as a race sink, we've got these Devcon closed and we don't have any transfer slot showing. We want these open just enough so they don't stick in the bore because the secondary and the primary work at a different rate of opening because of the length of the center point from where the arm is here and here. I like them to run one to one. Some series say that you can't do that. NASCAR is one. You got to run the stock location, you know, but the thing is you and I both know back in the days of the Bush Garage Mhm. we'd have we'd buy 30 carburetors. Oh god. We'd run them all to find which the best one was. Find that best one, then start swapping meter and blocks and and base plates. Then all you up more horsepower. Yep. It's something that you don't have to cheat it. You just got to make them all the same and make them right. This way everybody's got the same thing optimizing. Y but they don't want to go down that that direction. H something that I just kind of realized here is that I can see the direct line of how NASCAR motorsports in general became so money driven because back in the old days you didn't have a PhD in one piece of the engine. There was nobody who had that much knowledge. But as time goes on, you develop these guys who are experts and wizards about this one little thing. And then to be competitive, you got to have every single one of those guys on your payroll or you're not going to win. It's crazy. When I moved back here, Robert Yates hired me from Honda, the Indie Car program, and I remember sitting down with Robert and he said, "What do you see the NASCAR going in the future?" And I said, "How many engineers you have?" So, we got one, Dave Prisca. And I said, 'Well, it's going to turn at a point where you won't have crew chiefs. You won't have head of…
