Status: offline 		A few quick questions. First of all, how do you transport your gear when you're in your car? I worry about getting nitro/dirt in my new car. I also dont want the smell. 2nd question, I always use a blow dryer to start, what can I do when i'm in the middle of nowhere and i need to head my piston? Thanks for the tips

Or you can put it all in a heavy duty garbage bag and zip tie it closed and put it in your trunk.

The big ones will easily hold a truck and all the accessories you need and act as a work stand in the field. As for heating the head in the field, if you have a 1:1 vehicle with you, get an inverter and use your regular hair dryer/heat gun. Or maybe you can find a 12v hair dryer someplace? Or just start it at home before you leave to bash/race.

Status: offline 		they also sell at kmart and places like that a blow dryer that plugs into your cars cigarette lighter. of course they dont get as hot a an AC one but it will work. i dont know if i would use the torch but i am still new yet so maybe you can. and for transporting how about one of those big rubbermaid type containers they sell at lowes and homedepot?/ something like this>>
