Nice shot... wing UP on autocross, was it from speed or manual? Thats pretty fast autocrossing if from speed

Thanks for sharing...warmer weather on the way !

Nice to see autocross photos. Looks like good results as well.

I've been putting the wing up manually in my car purely for vanity. Our events here don't get nearly fast enough for it to go up automatically, though I did one weekend at a neighboring region in 2004 with 80+ peak speeds (using GPS and GPS-calibrated logger) in my car, with the top SM2 car hitting 93mph on his best run. That was an exceptional event however (not to mention unfair for low hp cars).

LOL ! I thought so...still

I am loading the car and heading to the first DE of the year

The never ending list

Wing is up manually. Marginal decrease in rear lift. marginal increase in air flow to engine. But in autox every 10th counts. Besides, it looks better. =)

Ed, you have a beautiful car. I can't believe how clean your wheels are. How many coats of polish did that take? I can't imagine there is much clear coat left on that car.

ivangene

LOL - I actually have not cleaned the wheels yet, late last year I used Rejex and rubbed till it disappeared 2 coats and about 3 dozen rags... have not toched them since... I will clean them eventually but the wheels have been off the car more than on the last few months so i just want to drive it right now.... once summer hits I'll give she a more serious cleaning, its not a concourse car, nor even close....just cleans up well

thanks for the compliments!

Great springtime photos! You'd never guess that you have nearly 170K miles on the clock!

ivangene

thanks Dennis, original paint... it looks better in pics than in real life

I have done quite a bit to bring it back but alas it is old and tired
