stinkin' heated floor in Indiana. Real racers make do with a salamander
during the winter months. (A salamander is a metal tub with a detachable
lid and stack that holds about 20 gallons of kerosene; you light the kerosene
and the entire surface ignites, and you quickly clap the lid back on. The
device makes an ominous noise as it turns nearly red hot and roasts
everything in a six foot radius. It is particularly entertaining if you slop
any of the fuel on the sides while you are replenishing it, as the whole
infernal machine will come ablaze when you relight it. It is a good way to
find out just how effective your garage extinguishers are.)
That said, I now have a swell hanging propane furnace in my garage, and a
carpeted floor.
