Don't think this is a problem. When I was racing roundy-rounders, there were
all sorts of interesting header colors one could see at night through the
wheel wells. One could always tell the people who were cheating with a bit
too much nitromethane--their headers were white-hot and very nearly
translucent. Of course, their engines also blew up on the 75-lap races,
too... that was another way to tell.... *smile*
Cheers.
