       From my observations an increasing number of those lucky enough to be 
in impound overnight seem to be using oil-pan heaters or dry-sump reservoir 
heaters.
       Last year Monte Osborn cobbled up an automatic timer in his pit for 
his XXF/37 Ford coupe that started his generator at about 4:00AM. The 
generator was hard-wired to his 300w Moroso pan heater and had the oil toasty 
warm by the time he arrived at 6:00AM. Monte was next to us in impound and 
was gracious enough to hook my pan heater to his generator.
       I've gotten to the point where I never fire my engine without heating 
the oil, winter or summer.........................Ardun Doug King
