Default Brake Ducts for 20 Bucks

I have a 1994 Camaro that I have autocrossed many times, and have now done 3 track days with it. It has been great fun! (Although in retrospect I wish I had bought that LS1 Firebird instead...). I quickly boiled the brake fluid on my first track day, so I put on some brake ducts. I put up web page about it, and how well they worked:

I also have web pages on my custom roll bar I did, and on strengthening my sway bar brackets:
