Saw in a recent thread someone had posted a pic of his car with vents in hood. Car was dark blue. Can't remember name of thread, and couldn't find it in search. But "Dallas" has them, and I forgot about Morris. I read that he and Tom Kirkham had done some airflow testing with yarn tufts. They would be the "authority" on the subject. That said, just getting rid of some heat while sitting at stops would be a good thing. I know that the escaping heat comes in over the w/s, and drops in on you ! Florida in the summer is a be-ich !!!!

ps: I always pop the hood after a run to help cool it down, + put a box fan in front of the radiator if at my garage, and leave the cars fan running till the temp stabilizes .
