Trying to find motivation to keep her going and use her before I run out of time. I moved her to the workshop yesterday and today I put her transmission back in her. Need to change the gas tanks out as she has a 6 gallon tank in her now and I have a nice little 1.5 gallon tank for her. Only good for about 5 minutes of run time.
I backdated the picture because she looks totally deferent now. So I guess I should do that more often.  This picture is by Carl La Fong, sorry if I miss spelled it Carl. She has Carerror script on her side. At that time I had just decided to make her my race car. While driving the freeways of LA dressed in that livery she was passed in her lane by 911's 3 times. No one takes the time to read Carerror they only see Carrera. |

Hey Joe. If I am understanding correctly you are thinking of placing a wing in the center of the car...is that accurate? If so, I believe there would be no real benefit - it might even slow you down. Below is the sister car of my SCCA P1 - it is only used for hillclimbs and has been fitted with the front and rear wings. You're going to do what you want - as it should be too - but this system (as you know) is tried and proven. Keep up the great work!
