When the race sled is significantly oiled, either from scattering its own motor, or being in the line of fire when somebody else scatters theirs:

Always carry a BIG spray bottle of Simple Green or Formula 409 or some other spray degreaser/cleaner. Load race car on trailer. Spray liberally with cleaner/degreaser. Drive about 10-30 minutes, looking for a self-serve car wash that can accomodate a trailer. Stop, deposit required quarters and hose the engine bay/undercarriage down. Respray with cleaner. Drive another 30 minutes. Find a self-service car wash. Repeat process above until either you're home, or the car is squeaky clean. If you live more than 90 minutes from the track, you'll always arrive home with a clean race car, regardless of what has recently grenaded under the hood.

Why bring that greasy oily mess home ? Greenpeace might frown on the process, but they're worried about the whales...and whales pee and poop in the same water that they swim in....how freakin smart can they be ???

How did I master this technique ? Don't forget...I used to race a Volvo.

Actually Greenpeace would probably prefer that you do that instead of hosing it off in your driveway. The runoff from self-serve places has to go into the sewer system or be recycled. The runoff from my driveway goes right into the stream system.
