[QUOTE="David Hester, post: 13023750, member: 6794"] ^ nice! No liners on the A/Sedan car, lots of dents. Lots of spider marks on the ProChallenge cars fiberglass fenders. I boxed in the radiator of the A/Sedan car. Ripped off the radiator airdam at Roebling. Noticed overheating right away. Put it back on several races later-DOH!, problem solved. Other trick would be tray from front bumper back to radiator support. That is what I did on ProChallenge car. It works for cooling and downforce, as I had trouble supporting it enough to keep it from falling- actually think it ws being sucked down. >.< hehheh hehheh I said sucked down. Moving on. It was well supported in the rear, but would rip out rivets/machine screws along the front lip. I agree, fender vents and radiator vents in the 1st 3rd of the hood work for cooling AND extracting air from under the hood. Get too far back and you run into air blocked off the windshield causing high pressure area and you stall the air from under the hood. Why venting high cowl hoods on road race car is a bad idea. Nascar uses their [B]sealed[/B] cowl vent to feed carb from high pressure area in front of windshield. [/QUOTE]
