  Has anyone thought about vented disks? Just set up a "ram air" kind of
deal under the air-dam, but instead of routing the tubing to the engine,
you route it to the disks. I've got this on my list of "stuff to do"
some day, but its way down near the bottom; something like this would
probably be useful for you autocrossers though.
