[Es2] things that tend to break on es2's at the track

[Adam Ordway]

?
got a pic?  i'd think there would be a design that could be done tastefully on the hood. other than somehow forcing all of that hot air under the car (another fan and cut hole in the belly pan thingy maybe) wouldn't the hood be the only option?

A buddy of mine makes bolt on louvers.  CNC machined from aluminum.

I don't know about the hood but maybe in a little more subtle places.
