    Racer's Tip: Dirt-track racing is by nature a dirty business. To clean dust, grit and debris from your racer following a race, use denatured alcohol. Then, to prepare your racer so that it's ready for the next big race, empty all of the leftover fuel and add after-run oil to the engine, carburetor and glow-plug hole.
