Thanks Lance! It was a great weekend. I have a few updates to share on the car.

So what's the verdict with the vents and lower temps? Any significant differences in a A/B testing?

I need to do more testing. The same week I did the hood louvers I added a splitter that extends back to the cross member and I think it is forcing more air through the lower valence and *under* the core support and radiator and creating a higher pressure zone behind the radiator than was there before.

I'm going to do some testing without the splitter as well as try to duct the radiator or block off the core support to the splitter.

Great, I look forward to the results.

I'm not sure if we met or not this last weekend but I sure enjoyed seeing you and the car in action. The car and driver are flat out working! Kudos to you for not only your driving skill but your ability to build a car that can be driven to and from these events and perform on track so well.

I forgot to ask you when you installed the hood vents. Is that an AMD hood ??? How is the fit ??? Looks real good in the pics! Thx

The fit of the vents are great. It does require some cutting of the under structure but not structurally critical areas I was okay with that as I want enlarger openings than otherwise would be possible. The hood is a reproduction purchased from Classic Industries but I don't recall if it was an AMD or not.
