Humor. . . or is it?
I remember reading Car & Driver in the mid '80s when they had entered the One Lap of America in a 1st generation S-10 Blazer(their first mistake). Halfway across the USofA their auto tranny starts puking fluid to point they are losing gears. So they rig the window washer bottle up as an "on the fly" cure. They fill it with ATF, and run the hose into the tranny dipstick hole. Every time they start to lose 2nd or 3rd gear, they just push the button and keep driving. They made it another couple hundred miles before blowing it up completely.
So I'm thinking, everyone autocrossing in STS is probably using the Falken Azenis Sport. They work OK, but get greasy when they get hot, leading to most people wetting them down between runs with cold water. It seems to help a bit. What if you could fill the window washer bottle with ice water, run the hoses down to a spray nozzle (like the ones sticking out of the hood) and mount it in the fenderwell just above the front tires so that while you are running you could just. . . . . . . Oh never mind!
