interesting find on the hood lips. do you think they'd work with the RRE hood vent as well?

It's hard to tell from your pics but do you have ducting around your FMIC to your Radiator? I was having some overheating issues and they are now non-existent after fabbing up some ducting to get all the air that passes through the front to my radiator.

I'm sure it would Pete. All that is really needing to be done is to raise the leading edge.
For instance, here's how it's done a Lola chassis..


It's even this way on the Viper gts now as well. The basic principle is to redirect the laminar flow "up" creating a void of low pressure behind it. Without that, the laminar flow will go straight down and hook around the louver or what we know as a cowl. Neat concept reall.

Maximal, yes sir, it is fully enclosed in ducting. Without that, it would go 220+ on the first lap.

LOL at HRD, aka 3rtech. Flap flap flap ... my crapcan world challenge rx-7 is the fastest car here blah blah, talking mad shit about us and our GT's. Ahemmm, walk over to lap board... Hrm 2 seconds faster than his dumbass, whada douchebag! You see how crazy his eyes get and how much of an a-hole he turns into at the track Err? He'll always be behind us but thinking and talking shit like he's in front. He was even sittin there doggin Ray and Baker. I wanted to swat him! I'm going to post our shit talk session and then the race results... blow him up. What a homo, ha!

Where's the vid's I shot bro? Post up the good sheiit!

[Erron Spalsbury]

Eh, don't bother. No need to interwebs bash anyone, the results are always just a short walk to the timing and scoring booth.

I'm really going to try and get the video processed tonight. I'll try and reduce it down to the fun stuff so it's not huge. It's all in HD though!
Thanks for filming bro!

Can't wait!

Dear lord! That straightaway section acceleration is ridiculous. I wonder if any of those drivers you passed thought to themselves " okay, and heeeeresss the tuuurnnnnn-JESUS F@%@! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!" as you flew by....

[Erron Spalsbury]

^^^LOL! That's probably right...

Congrats on a successful event & setup! Like you said, you're alive, car's alive, and you tested a variety of things at the same time. I'm glad to hear it and the video was a treat as well!
