So many complaints about Traqmate why do you all use it? Seems like Race Keeper or V Box is a better choice.

In that case I love my Traqmate.
I'm going to need it to work for 10 days straight, waiting for the next perfect plug and play solution.

Peter, I really like what Orbit did with your brake ducting.

But for argument sake, why not jut get them to install the 2011 Grand Am fog light ducts and have them ducted to the rotor (Just like the 2011 Grand Am Cups).

Im sure your way is just as effective and costs less.

Also get some of their dive planes on the car.. it will help front DF a lot and then you can add more wing in the rear (my vote is you get 2010 cup uprights too).

This will be awesome when you visit the tracks with high speed elevation change turns!

Yes, I asked about those, but I prefer to keep the OEM LED lights and the Orbit solution was much cheaper.

Why is the Cup car not running the canards you think?.
I just think they look cool, but waiting for the price. Probably just wrap them white like the center and wrtap clear bra over it. Just not sure if the wrap color white will match the color white of the car.

Or I could leave all the red and wrap the canards red..

I have now 3 extra cooling elements for the front brakes:
TTS scoops
2" front ducts that feed air to the scoops.
Naca bottom ducts that feed air to the rotors
I should have some temp stickers to see how hot the rotors get, but i gigure it could help a bit.
We will see how hard the tracks are onthe brakes and how high the ambient temps will get.

Mancation II is getting closer and I am excited
Loading both cars at Orbit on Tuesday, departing for IL Wednesday...

Who will be at Autobahn in IL Next weekend with NASA?

That should really help a lot especially at Sebring. I can't wait to see these cheater parts and see if I could use any on the GTS.

Travel safe, relax and have a blast.....I'll be checking in all the time for trip reports and updates and pictures.
