Caspers droopy wing

The wing on my NA kept being pushed down by the wind above 200k's. The 6mm bolts, tightened as hard as you could get them with a 10mm spanner and an allen key could not hold the force on the wing.. So I have made it more or less fixed and higher, should do the job..Patrick

Hope you've got a good set of rear bumpstops.

I had problems at Wakefield Park which is just under 200 kph on the main straight but will be at Eastern Creek on the 14th where it gets to 220 or more. I have entered the Temora 1000 meter sprint in October where it should get to 230.. The wing will be coming off for that event though.. I did some not so legal testing of standing start 1000m runs on a quiet road at it got to 225 and flattened the wing back down. So thats when I decided to secure it better..PB
