I'm not a Nascar fan, but did watch the Pheonix race yesterday.When the driver lifts the throttle going into a turn,flames come out of the exhaust on the engine overrun.Now, I know what causes it,excess fuel being sucked past the closed throttle plates,getting burned in the exhaust pipe, blah blah.
But some cars flame more than others,some don't flame all.In fact, the flamming is not consistant with similar engines build by the same builders.
So I'm thinking the flames are dependent on driving style, some drivers let up more in corners, or they may left foot brake and still have pressure on the throttle pedal like rally drivers do or whatever.What do you think?
I do think Gordon did an excellent driving job to bring a slower car towards the end to a good finish.
