Testing new parts... Hopefully new bumper/splitter/aero will be done before the next track day!

Love how those e30's are leading the pack behind the pace car ;)

Glad you like the shots.

Those E30's at the front are really fast.

It was a thrill taking those shots from the pace car. Hanging out of the rear window at 70mph is kinda crazy. I was hanging on to the seat belt for stability.

Thank you for this thread.

Total boner time.

I think I have a photo of the uprights after we picked them up from our machine shop and before powdercoat. Let me look for that one.

We mounted the uprights to the trunk floor with backing plates on the underside of the trunk floor. We also braced them at the top of the trunk. You could push the car from those uprights.

oh, wow, that is much thicker than I was thinking. The wing I have has two mounting brackets, each with two holes that have a 1/4" gap. I was thinking of using 1/4" thick aluminum, but maybe that's too thin/flexible??? My wing will be about as high as yours (roofline) so that is plenty of height for flex to cause problems...

Fresh from Speed Hunters' coverage of the Nurburgring 24hr.

How do I get a higher res of this one?

All of those photos are out here. The pace car photos are all the way toward the back of this album. You can download high res. The pace car photos are around page 25, 26 & 27.

Thanks for sharing those!

BTW, those uprights look pretty swanky!

Do you happen to have the file the machine shop used?:nice:

Nice looking track, I didn't think the hippies would allow a new track to be built in CA! They slammed the old Castle AFB track proposal up in Atwater until the company ran out of money and just quit.

Do you have any detail pictures of your rear wing uprights? I like the design of them. Where did you mount them in the trunk?

Some shot from Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, the new race track in Southern California built on an old WWII airfield at Desert Center CA.
