I have been trying to prep for this event also. Just added a new 55 GPM electric water pump.
I have been looking into evanscooling because car is sill running around 200+*
Installed M&R 5 point, cam-lok harness.
And right now trying to get my brakes straightened out.

Is there a place where you can see this track with a virtual tour?

Hey 69myway- What tires are you running? Your car looks great nice Brand of wheels!

Re: Evanscool

Have you just tried adding a couple of bottles of Red Line Water Wetter?

Run - distilled water - no water from a garden hose... and barely any anti freeze -- and at least one bottle of the Water Wetter...

If you're still running hot - I'd have to ask you if you have a fan shroud? Electric or engine driven fan? If electric - are you getting full voltage? If electric are you using relays to the fan(s)... If engine driven - how close is the fan to the radiator? Are you using an anti collapse spring in the suction side hose? You may be collapsing your lower radiator hose...

But in the end - nothing wrong with running 200 degrees --- new Vettes run 220.... it's only really a problem if the temp keeps climbing.

I know - I'm convinced I don't need this...but.......

I have a friend in Florida that has been a auto x - road racer all his adult life. He owns an amazing GT1 car and had the pleasure of running in the Rolex 24 hours with a team of drivers. He had suggested from experience doing anything I can to direct cool air to the center of the wheel bearing hub if it wasn't an act of congress to install it. He said the air going to the center of the hub would get picked up and vent sucked through the rotor and out to keep it cool. Said it would do no good at low speed, but anything 50 and above it would ram some cooling in and give just a tad of extra brake.

I'm just having fun, but when Dave does something - he is always in it to win it. He is the kind of guy that you don't want to see in your reaview because given enough time he will know your weakness and exploit it to put his rear bumper in front of your headlights!

So...been trying to tack along with his ideas - but it is looking like a tricky set up to get at least a 3" hose in there that doesn't rub on the tires, get pinched by the suspension, and has enough mounting strength to stay on the car without blowing off on the road.

There are pictures here at Lat G of some first gen with ducts in the nose, but I don't know how or if they are vented beyond that.

Probably going to give up on this one, but will give it at least one more good look to be sure. I was thinking last night if I made the A-frame mount out of cardboard/tape and fiberglassed it to shape, then the duct hose would connect at the lower a-frame mount so it would pivot and twist fine - then go to some duct cut outs in the spoiler.

They are Nitto Neogen - 18" up front and 19" in the rear.

They are not typical "directional" tires - but they are left/right tires. The tread it really cool looking. They came highly recommended by Discount Tire at the time I bought them.

I have no idea how they will perform in this kind of activity. They are now just over a year old but only have about 500 miles on them since.
