The U.S. Nats are over and I am back in the shop trying to catch up after a busy week at the track--the earliest that I left our pit was 10:30 and that was Sunday night after we missed the cut.

I was at Rapisarda's shop prior to the Indy test session to add the carbon shroud to the front of the cage on the "B" car and as the body was off I jokingly suggested to Santo Jr that it would be a good time to make sure that I fit in the car so that they would not have to bring Damien all the way from Australia in the future. When he asked if I really wanted to drive a big show car I said "Heck Yeah". He then said that I could make a hit in it sometime in the future. Of course I will probably have to do all their fab work for free for the rest of my life. LOL

Post by: rooman on September 26, 2013, 09:46:51 AM: Your best bet is probably to buy a kit from Neil and Parks (or completed wings). I use their components for most of my wings.

Post by: wideopen231 on September 26, 2013, 04:19:49 PM: Agree that if your not into fabricating it all your self that Neil and Parks is best bet,prices not bad either. I have few ideas on mounting.From simple to adjustable and over complicated,guess which I always end up doing. Not sure how much down force on that and how strong the mount needs to be.

THOUGHT Rooman was going to put up few pics for us lesser talented folks!!!
