Every year the wife and drive to Watkins Glen and back for the Vintage Grand Prix in September. It is about 300 miles each way through the mountains. I have encountered almost every kind of weather. It is truely an adventure in motoring LOL Although my experiences in bad weather doesn't even scratch the surface compared to Jim Kellogg! LOL
On one of these trips I realized that hood scoops don't do sqwat except let air out unless they sealed.
We were running through a downpour, and thought maybe I should stuff something in the hoodscoop to keep water out of the carb. I opened to hood and Voila' the engine and air cleaner are totally dry.
You can see us in the beginning of this video. No idea who took it
