If they thought a dead chicken under the hood made them run a tenth of a second faster per lap, there would be chicken buckets under all of their hoods. |

I made a living building, preparing and sometimes driving race cars for over 10 years. Logic always prevailed over dead chickens.

Leakage of this sort is not an issue in racing. If it was, argon would be used.

Night air is even better than nitrogen or argon. Makes you go faster.

What happens when the tire loses pressure and you're not near a nitrogen source, say on a trip? Can compressed air be mixed to inflate to pressure?

If they used helium would that make the car lighter?
