Wouldn't make sense, you would be losing more power with the AC on than you would be gaining through the intake.

I know, it must be a full moon or something.

Isn't there a rule at the track that you can't run the A/C because of condensation getting on the track?

No matter how cool the A/C runs, I doubt that it would make the air cold enough to have an improvement over the loss from the A/C. If anything, he should maybe try it on a dyno, and compare...but don't post pictures without good results.

Why can't someone post pictures without good results? He was showing everyone something he found interesting, he didn't argue that it was good or worked at all, just put it there for people to see.
