Fixed wings in SP?

SP requires that wings be fixed and not able to move
Seems as though any wing or gurney could be moved easily
Does this rule imply while the car is moving ?
All the wings I have seen allow for some adjustment (angle) and the height on gurneys seems like it would be easy to change
Anyone care to clarify?

"Movable" usually implies either that the driver can alter the position of the aerodynamic device on the fly (for example, the movable wing of the Chapparal 2F), or that the aerodynamic device moves under auxilliary power (for example, the "sucker" fan on the Chapparal 2J).

I interpret the current COM rule to apply to the above, and not to stationary - but adjustable - wings and spoilers.

Thanks Frank
That is what I thought
I think you should chime in on Scotts Vroom post with some #s on the old cuda ( The car was for sale when I joined COM, unfortunately I never saw it run at the track, an SPA legend if there ever was one )

So the question is, John, are you going to show up with your "wings" at WGI???

Stephan
Would love to be going to the glen
The car is coming along but still some work to do
Motor is built up to the heads, will need to do some creative "plumbing" soon and have an intercooler built, then program the brain and fire it up ( 8 yrs and counting )
Dr. Macaroon has some vcr tapes of the glen btw, even a few laps following you and I flaunting our "active" suspensions
Also I no longer have access to the 318ti now that my bro has retired

Retired? Seemed like he was just getting into "IT". Hope all is well.

All is great Scott, thanks
He is leaving my little company to go to BU for an engineering Phd

Like John said, I'm going back to school to do what I do best; which is being a math geek.

I probably won't be doing a lot of events for a while but I'll still be lurking around the pits, eating macaroon cookies.

Hopefully John will get his car done so I can be help him out as pit crew.
