You don't think a guy with a fixed wing angle would out run ya? I do. Especially if the shaft is just right, down track. | |||

I still say why not bypass the springs altogether, bolt the wing to the rearend housing for a fixed wing angle. Surely someone has done this. | |||

Good Ole "Stubby" Wing/solid mount/rearend.. Hardtail. N&P chassis. Nice thing about the strange rear is it had 3/4 top mounting holes already. There is nothing worse than the feeling the car wanting to come around on you.  This message has been edited. Last edited by: TD3550, | |||

Is that a hard tail , slip joint ? | |||

Imagine what is gonna happen with a 4 link dragster on springs, if the wing folds over at 220 mph. Why wouldn't the wing be bolted to the rearend housing? At least you'd have a chance. | |||

What would you predict would happen? Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

Is that really what you need, seriously? I'm pretty sure everyone has the picture. Why wouldn't a fixed angle wing for downforce bypass the springs, with the wing bolted to the rearend housing? | |||

In 2018 I had a tall 2 piece all carbon wing on my car, it delaminated and came off in the lights at 229 mph, I had no idea it came off until I got out of the car and it was missing. It has since been replaced with a Spitzer wing This is a slow mo video of it coming off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og9As2FQLv4 | |||

The data would be more revealing, of effect. | |||

Well logistically and design package wise, it's way more complicated and consumes more room to add the exact same amount of loading onto the tire either way. If the wing comes off at speed, the loading goes away regardless of what it is mounted to. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

Technically speaking the wing kounted to the rear end would change angle as the tire grew. With it mounted to the chassis as the tire grew, speed increases and downforce increased the chassis would stay far closer to static ride height and keep the wing at the same angle, or closer at least. .991 60' 4.36 @ 159 so far..... 6.86 @ 198 trying for more...... 533" single carb 235" Harrison 4-link | |||
