oil cooler in spoiler, what think racers? Options

[brant]

Thanks Ben..
but its ok.
I still beat my personal record for the track by .3 seconds.
so that kinda made it all worth while.

I still got both sunday races in.

and I put the car 4 wheels off track for my first time (sideways in corner 1 at 100mph.....) where I was able to down shift from 4th to 3rd and pull back on with only loosing 1 position.

so although it was a rough and stressful weekend, it still went ok really.

David, I let you down.

don't worry man,

I know there is enough to do at the track much less take pictures.

I may cut up a stock valence to do a test and see how it goes from there. I would like to keep the cooler as high as possible but with good flow behind it.

glad you could salvage the weekend. any of the problems you had would have had me back on the trailer.

A colorado guy... Dale Tuety runs a cooler in his spoiler with no cutting. Probably will see him tomorrow at a club race. I'll try to get pictures of it if he is there. His is a trailered race car, and man that cooler is down low... but it works and works well. I wouldn't do it on a street car is such a volunerable low location, but on a race car like yours its very doable. brant

Brant, I only have two pics of his car. This is the better of the two. That cooler is down lowwwww. Dale said he hadn't had any problems with it, and was very effective. helluva nice guy and driver.
