In MM&FF they showed pics of them just icing down the upper intake. But when they write those articles(Or just that one in particular) they were the only ones at the track, so they weren't waiting in line.
I guess you could do it in the staging lanes if they let you push the car until it's your turn. That seems like the only way the intake would actually have time to cool down.

Dry ice is not really a option, it is so cold it will burn your hands, and the drastic change in temp the metal will most likely become very brittle and crack.
Use regular ice, use a towel as others have said, I have a buddy help when I am in the staging lanes, Car not running of course, Pull it off just before you enter, to do you burnout..
And you do want to let the rest of the car cool before each run, clutch or converter, radiator temp if its too hot

When we usually go, someone thats not racing will keep the cooler in thier car with several bags of ice in it. put a towel on your intake and keep the ice in the bag while youre doing it. it will help prevent making puddles in the staging lanes which keeps other racers happy. take your front sway bar off (no crazy cornering till you put it back on) no fat chicks as passengers, and let us know how she does!!
