    @PowerTryp, Starless wonder.: Yup. Zero issues with the wing.

    Guibo joints, tranny linkage and exhaust were another story...

    You guys need a taller SunShade. Let me know if you somehow need a spare M30. It's yours for $250, but you've got to take the rest of the car with it...

    That damn wing is even bigger than I thought it would be. I salute you, Braff'n'Science.

    It's a good thing the Roadrunner has himself a helmet. Watch out for vandals with Sharpies attempting to give him a Hitler 'stache.

    Looks like there's even duct tape involved (passenger side on the nose); nice touch.

    "Six or seven spare guibos?"
    "Check."
    "Re-routed all fuel lines away from moving parts?"
    "Check."
    "Alright guys, what else we need"?
    "How about a couple hundred pounds of uneccesary weight?"
    "Hell Yeah, let's do it!"

    @HoonThatFerrari: The whole wing plus nose is definitely under 50 lbs, total. Probably closer to 20.

    That's a beautiful piece of misguided effort. And a wing to shame any ricer.

    But, if they win by a nose, you'll know the fix is in.

    Yup, I'm impressed with that one. I wonder how well the nose will hold up to contact? Does it have "legal" nerf bars in it

    @f86sabre: The nose is nothing but 20ga sheetmetal, all welded up, then sheetmetal-screwed to the front clip and the bumper.

    It's actually quite sturdy.

    For what it's worth, I think it needs to advertise Hooniverse a big more.

    @Paul Y. don't drive too fast.: ok... I brought bumper stickers. I also have two more hoonivers large logos.
    I will try to get other teams to put on the bumper sticker as well.

    Good job, guys. Sorry I didn't get to hang out with any Jalops, as I was in the control tower for the whole race. I was pleased to see some old-school BMW muscle in the race, though-- see you at Thunderhill!

    Sunday we ran great until Mad Science Senior was smacked by the Magnum P.I.G. MR-2 and bent up the front suspension. What position was the C.S.I. Miami BMW when that happened????? 69th place....go figure!

    Hey, that was MY extra guibo! He came by our pit during our second engine swap of the day and just mentioned their guibo had bit the dust. I remembered I've had a spare one in the backseat of my car for a few months (5-fingered from the Black Iron Racing boys no-less!).

    Glad it could help!
