I may order the 997 turbo rear ducts from rennstore...but the surface "finned" area of those looks small.

thanks!

I'm the "other guy" - signed up but given the forecast looks like crap I most likely won't be there.

If somehow the forecast shifts and it doesn't look like rain at the track, I'll gladly let you poke around my car.

And I'd be interested in comparing caliper/rotor temps too. Certz and I have similar-ish setup up front for cooling (Olsen ducts) but Certz has some additional tubing... and his rear setup is pretty slick. I'd love to be able to compare the temp differences.

I keep looking at the wgn weather app radar. It looks now like rain will be very spotty and intermittent. Fast moving cells. I’ll make the 1.5 hr drive down from the north Part of city and see how many runs we get in. I’m betting we get at least 2.

I’m aborting. Already on my way to the office. Sorry guys not worth running in the wet for me. No points, no contingency money!

Every weather map I look at shows it settling in around 2:00 for the rest of the day, so I am out also. Too bad, I was looking forward to getting some caliper temperatures. I will be doing the two-day event at Gingerman August 4-5th in case you are thinking about that one.
