Gutters removed for top speed runs. Bello does the same thing to his Texas mile cars. I would think the rear bumber is more related to exhaust back there as opposed to an intake. Not much clean cool air that low on the back of a car at speed for an intake. But I could be very wrong - Ruf knows his stuff!

More on the cut-outs - the following is from Wikipedia:
"Prototype models had NACA-style intercooler intake ducts over the rear fenders (later dropped, as it was discovered that air was pulled out, rather than in, at speed due to a low-pressure area), while later models had additional slots in the rear bumper corners for the air to exit."
