TECH TALK: IDeas, OPINIONS, AND OBSERVATIONS FROM BLACK FLAG RACING
Welcome to the technical side of Black Flag Racing, where bad decisions get tested, good ideas get stolen, and every broken part eventually becomes a lesson with torque specs. This is where we explain what worked, what failed, what tried to kill the car, the pit crew, or the drivers and what we are doing about it before the next green flag drops. We will be posting new technical articles every week—or more often whenever the car, the data, or mechanical violence gives us something important to say.
If you like endurance racing, clever fabrication, and the kind of engineering that gets discussed while holding a flashlight in your teeth, you are in the right place.
HOT UNDER THE HOOD: SOLVING A HEAT PROBLEM
Black Flag Racing transformed a stock 2007 Honda Accord heater core into a hood-mounted auxiliary radiator under an L88 scoop, turning clever fabrication into real endurance-racing advantage. The result was equal parts bold and effective: a cooler-running car that stayed under 220 degrees through the heat, humidity, and chaos of a New Orleans Lemons weekend.
