it would be best to drive the car and not just start it for a few mins. if you cant drive it then leave it alone

Race Car
Update:
I went out today to try working on it, it was cranking and almost starting. Put my foot to the floor and it started catching, and stayed on, with a rough idle. I revved it a few times and it settled down nicely. I let it run for a bit. Shut her down and she started right back up. Blew some condensation out the tail pipe and she runs good. Maybe she wasn't getting the fuel she needed? I threw in a bit of Stabil and let it idle for a good long while. We'll see what happens come Spring.
I did replace the fuel filter, but that was back in August?

The car is up on blocks for the winter, no chance to drive it. No more running till Spring. Can a car stay flooded for the better of a week? Doesn't the fuel dissapate after a few minutes?

I have known of engines/plugs to stay wet for a surprisingly long time, not surprising when you think that some cylinders will have both valves closed....
