You going to make it to the B100 this year? Should be BIG FUN this time around. Jeff and I are looking to make up for not even getting to the start line last weekend at the NORC.

and for anyone that might be on the fence about doing an ORR event this is a good one to hit. Great host hotel and the start line is only 2 miles away. Lots of fast cars and good people.

I was taking another look at my "fan shroud" yesterday. It has some openings at the top that I'm thinking might be sucking in hot engine air. Maybe I should block them off after all. And I'm starting to worry about you guys & all this talk about those cold packs. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

The rectangular openings on the back of the shroud are there to allow air to be forced thru, presumably at high speed, after the fans have shut off. The early 4th gens had a rubber flap on them that would close at low speeds when the fans were pulling air off the back of the radiator. I don't think I've seen a flap for years, tho so either they fall off or GM quit putting them on. I mount the PS cooler in the lower opening.
