Default Don Istook
was considering it but the demand at the time did not justify the tooling costs.

If someone came up with a reliable solution that worked without compromises, I would get it. I did some uneducated poking around and could not figure a way to optimally run large diameter ducting from the front to the wheel hub.

Default ah ok
I thought it might have been Istook's but it looked too clean to be a race car

It looks like the brake duct intake is tucked into the lower inboard corners of the i/c shrouds.

Default Not sure.
IIRC, I think he turns them on when the car's not moving (starts, pits)
