Back in the beach-racing days in the early 1950's a Cadillac/Olds dealer in Nashville sponsored a couple of Daytona racers. Those cars came back with a layer of sand in the oil pan, apparently after having gotten past the oil bath air cleaner, and the piston rings! Ever seen an engine with a LOWER ring ridge in the cylinders?

When the dirt track racers from Chattanooga would come to Nashville to race, they had a favorite saying- - - -"A race car needs water and alcohol- - - -water in the radiator and alcohol n the driver!" Most of them made their living making alcohol- - - -racing was just a hobby!
