One hot summer day several years ago when I was
running a PRO car at Maxton and was trying
everything possible to gain a couple of MPH, I
thought about routing the intake tube back into
the passenger compartment, running the AC while I
waited in staging, then turning it off for the
run. The intake air would then come from the
cooled compartment, but there would be no extra
AC drag. I never got around to trying it. Ran
out of time that weekend.
