That's not gay at all. It's resourceful.
Depending on his class, adding an intercooler wetter system might not have been allowed.
We often times used a pressurized garden sprayer to cool down our tires after a run on ridiculously hot days. Bias-ply Hoosier Autocrossers on my DP Miata's crazy alignment specs would start to melt on a 90 degree day.
Other things that you might think are "gay", but work great, are the mock tire blankets and tire warmers we made from various materials to help retain heat on cooler days. Electric tire warmers were not allowed when I was autocrossing.
I ran a Tru Cool on my 2nd Gen DSM with no problems.
