Default Pit Cooling Fans. What are you guys using

I am looking to see what you guys (and gals) are using in your pits to cool off your electric motors between rounds. I am looking for pics (if you have them) and information. Thanx!

i have two of the little Integy 12v fans. The fans they come with didn't work, so i replaced them with similar units from Radio Shack. they're great for cooling anything that's warm in your pit!

Actually my motors don't get that hot enough for me to use a fan on them.

I use a Stanley work fan to keep me cool during the summer and use proper gearing to keep my motors cool

Maybe if we knew your location this question might make more sense? Get more racers at your track and you'll have more time between rounds to let the motor cool I don't see motor cooling as a big issue..
