Leaving drag out of the mix, Using the XP rules, is a wing more effective for getting down force than a spoiler. I've always assumed the wing is better, but have exactly 0 proof of this. The expense of a wing can go right through the roof (over 10K has been quoted).....this makes the cheep-assed spoiler look pretty good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
If a guy had a cross section pattern of an effective wing ( bling wings need not apply) DIY would make sense.....but is it worth the effort? Note: XP limits the total ( that would include a dual element) wing area to 8 sq. feet. |

This is by far he quickest AX car I've ever seen.....tunnels, diffuser, and the wings.
He (Joe Chen) was 5-6 seconds per pass quicker that any door slammer at the NT that year. On a dirty section of track at maybe 40-50 mph, he put a roster-tail 25 feet in the air. I'd like some info on that, Mark. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |
