But to be honest Stockcar wings will be made of all sorts of things (ie old washing machines) designed completely different, mounted at an angle thats different to every other car and so on and so on. It all depends on whos car you are looking at.
Anyway goodluck for the project

Re: help with school project
From memory they have mounts welded to the roll cage, then the wing poles slide into the mounts and are pinned/bolted/clipped into place.

Re: help with school project
Id imagine it has less drag down the straights = more speed, whilst still retaining a good amount of downforce in the corners?

Re: help with school project
Did you read the link I posted? It had heaps of info about Sprintcar wings.. including this bit9saldana wrote:does anyone know how the sprintcar wing hydraulics work?
Hydraulic wing adjusters allow the driver to adjust the position of the top wing while racing. The driver adjusts the wing using a valve called a wing slider which is connected to a hydraulic ram. The ram allows forwards and backwards movement of the wing. The hydraulic wing adjuster uses hydraulic pressure from the power steering system of the car, this is why you will sometimes see a driver turning the steering wheel left to right when testing operation of the wing slider. Some sanctioning bodies have banned these devices to keep expenses down.

Re: help with school project
if this is using snz ruling then the wing adjuster isnt aloud from what i know off as its counted as outside assitince but the sprint cars are aloud to run them as they get outside assitince with the push truck so some how they can...
