Jon did not compete. He had plans at 12:30 that he forgot about. Due to site restrictions, we couldn't *START* the autocross until noon.

The blue tape actually does not restict the light emmited very much :) And it looks pretty damn cool too. That tape of course is to keep rocks, etc from shattering a lens all over the track. Yes, little rocks will shatter a lens if you hit it a 120+ mph :D
Matt-who thinks his car is unusually photogenic.

Is that dryer duct I see on the driver's side? Riceboy. Your car is very clean. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. '92.

Actually it's heater hose for a VW, I think. Routed to the open JWT intake.
Funny story: Went to Topeka for solo finals in '99. Drove a Miata in B-stock. I signed up as "Team Riceboy". Seriously.

Hey Matt, nice shots, I was thinking of doing something like that to my ride since mine is also a 92. I wanted to get some thing to get air right to the CAI...I cut the hole a little bigger on that side but I really wanted to channel the air. Do you think it make a difference and its worth doing?

I figure at 100+ mph on track at least *some* cool outside air is making its way through that hose to the intake. I have it blowing in the vicinity of the JWT POP, so I'm hoping some is getting sucked in.
