Why is Biffle so hot?
Romy Beeck 20 April 2005 20:31:24
	I'm not a Biffle fan or a ford fan but he looks like the guy to beat this year.Anyone with a back up car and starts from the back and wins the race must be a very good driver.He has been good every race this year.Maybe its the year for ford.He makes it look so easy to pass anyone this year.I just wonder why he looks like a super star this year. What did they do to that car? Romy

What did they do to that> car?> Good question Romy. The Roush cars clearly have something going for them. Whatever Jack has figured out, he's got a heads up on the rest of the field for now. As for Biffle, he's certainly in the spotlight right now. If no one else figures out what Jack figured out, he could well be this year's Champion for Roush. Back up cars aren't what they used to be though. These days the back up car is pretty well set up with the same package as the primary car and it's really not that big a deal to win a race in a back up car anymore. -- -Mike- mmarlow@alltel.net

	is he just trying to throw nascar and the other 42 cars off on a wild goose chase by saying "shocks" and now everyone is trying to figure out the shock secret ? or did they but the other 42 and nascar all know he'd never talk about what they really did so now, even though he told them, they're looking everywhere BUT the shocks. ******************************************************************** hehehe Good questions. There is way too much money involved to tell anyone what they have found. It's only a matter of time before everyone else finds out. Trying to make that time as long as possible is Roush's goal. Remember Harry Gant's crew bending the rear axle to give the right rear tire some camber ? A little thing like that and he won 3-4 races in a row because of it. -- JerryD(upstateNY) so the questions are:

Rememeber when nobody could catch Newman, and he was claiming it was because he had a smaller carb or something? Turned out to be something to do with the water pump if I remember correctly, there was an article in Circle Track mag. about it after they finally figured it out.

Don't know about "catching" Ryan Newman, but he won some races on fuel mileage due to his smaller carb setup. I don't think it made him any faster, just made him get enough fuel mileage to make it to the ends of several races when his closest competitors could not make it. We also had rock solid, almost non-wearing tires back then too, and they're a thing of the past now, thankfully. Just curious though, as to how a water pump can make a car faster? They don't rob that much HP do they? And everyone has to have one...so the differences would have to be minimal.

You are correct, a pump doesn't take up tons of power, but if you are creating less drag on the motor, you will create more power and probably marginally better mileage as well.

The problem with that piece of deception is that the gain would be extrordinarily minimal. Any benefit from such a small gain would require a huge number of laps before it would translate to any on track gain. These cars never run green flag laps long enough for that sort of miniscule gain to even hit the radar scope. There is so much talk these days about getting 1/1000 of a second gain out of something and it kind of becomes part of the mystique of the sport to talk about that as if it were really meainingful. It would be meaningful if the cars ran enough laps, but they don't, so all of this mystical magical stuff is just a boatload of crap. -- -Mike- mmarlow@alltel.net

The revised design took 5+ horsepower less to drive, as I recall. 5hp isn't a lot, but everything else being equal it's worth having (better control of the water flow also let the engine builder be a little more agressive elsewhere, without the risk of getting a hot spot behind an exhaust valve or some such inconvenience).
