spoiler is now adjustable......well....ok.....the rearward most 2 and some change inches is adjustable......deck lid has an open spot right above where the lawndry bag is.....so I guess I now have a "dual element" spoiler :roll: ......

Also been tinker'n with my homemade throttle-stop.....making different plates so I can adjust the "hit" on the tires when coming OFF the stop...(for Super Gas or Super Comp index racing).......Each configuration of plate will require a different amount of time ON the stop.....because each plate will have a different combination of holes to handle Restriction duties....and one of the plates will remain solid to "almost" completely close off the carb to the intake.......(I have them all made to allow airflow around the edges to avoid fuel puddling on the plate)

Been helping Tim fancy-up his new 28' trailer....building cabinets and what not......Dadgummit....he's gonna Force me to spend some $ on Patch....(his is look'n REAL good.... :roll: ....can't say that< about Patch :( )

the "fan" was one I had scrounged up from the junk yard....not real purty, but it fit the radiator that came out of a Beemer and would move air like there was no tomorrow......didn't cost me a thing.....the new one is about $250 :shock: ......but like I said.....this new one will look nicer with my (also new) Shirocco radiator. :roll: .........(how in the world can a measly little twin bladed fan cost more than a radiator??? :x .....Dadgummit....racin' is 'spensive :roll: :roll: :( :shock: :x )

Takin' Peggy to Tim's this weekend (shortened due to Mommy's Day) gonna try to button up a few more details........will give report regardless of mundaneness.....(the mundane often leads to the "Finished"!! :wink: )
