Glenn,
Wayne Sears has a small fan he made using some sort of blower motor. It slips into the burn down tube, really nifty. I made a light duty one from a cheap battery powered fan that I stick in between rounds, but I hit it with the leaf blower at the end of the day. Kinda surprised somebody hasn't addressed making and marketing something.

Cheap electric leaf blower works for blowing thru engine.
Well I have been attempting to improve my times every time I go to the strip, my last run a 9.8 in the quarter. The fellas at the strip told me I would have to tone it down due to not having my NHRA license so attempting to get that would seem to be the next logical step. I want to do this the correct way so I got in touch with a NHRA inspector and made an appointment with him on 7/9 to have my FED inspected. Until then I figured I could work on my hole shot in the 1/8th mile, try to improve my reaction times which is really in need of improvement as well as my launch technique. Question- Could I already start on getting my moderate runs, the first 4 runs to be signed off for my license, without having the car inspected yet? I could do the cockpit orientation test and try to get a jump on things. Any guidance on this would be appreciated. I know this is going to take time and patience but if I did a moderate run that fit the bill and could get signed off that would be great.
