What we are doing is testing different configurations that they use in races to see which are optimal for what kind of races (short track, medium tracks, etc...). For now we are using a flow car to push air through a full scale system and measuring pressure drops. We have to have a website up by december if you want I'll throw a link on the board when it's done.

That RULES! Talk to Austin (AtomicLabMonkey) he used to work in HVAC, so he's done that stuff and would be interested in hearing about what you're doing... plus he built his own brake cooling ducts for his Mustang, and I'll bet he'd like to hear how to make 'em better...
