 Rule change summited  :-P

  Basically calling for additional plates along spoiler inside of now allowed end plates. following existing specs.

 Also stating care should be used to make sure bottom of plates [if used] does't interfere with parachute opening.

This blown fuel competition utility has run over 210 MPH down here at Lake Gairdner and has a lot more in it for next year.
To quote the owner/driver Michael Brixton:
"A couple of pics of my ute showing what I have done re my extra spill plates added but how I have also added a pressure plate flap so it becomes a multipurpose re safety .

Basically the 2 taller inner spill plates become the pressure flap side plate guides if deployed in a spin and the 2 smaller inner spill plates become the pressure flap stop plates so what we have tried to do is build 2 safety features into the one design 1) to help the car stay straight at high speed and 2) the pressure flap so the Ute doesn’t turn into an aeroplane in a spin."






This pic shows the spill plates and also you can see the pressure flap plate that runs between the 2 taller inner side plates and you can also see the 2 inner smaller spill stop plates.

That's gotta be the world's fastest "Ranchero".  Wonder what The Mayor of Wells' ran in the early 70s?

   363...that's pretty close to what we plan. But will probably go full size in middle.
