Wings on fuel and gas roadsters

[johnbeck]

Thanks desotoman , we call it lead , and lots of it.

[interested bystander]

Yrs truly is totally against it.
 
There should be no OBVIOUS aero devices on Roadsters (Street Roadster, also, huh, Stan).

TRADITION!

Simple as that.

So, what would be the point of having a modified roadster class?

[johnbeck]

Modifyed roadsters are the next step up for fast roadsters and are also very traditional and have a rich history. Sometimes it seems that there is a very fine line between the two classes even though modifyeds are allowed some streamlining , longer wheelbases , bellypans , and yes... wings and spoilers. They still have to have some stock roadster body dimensions and that , to me , makes them super cool.

I agree they are super cool, but so are roadsters! I know that there are roadsters out there running wings and they run MR. The only thing that would differ the 2 classes would be the wheelbase length and belly pan. That doesn't sound like too much difference to me.

Don't forget the engine set back.

It was just proven. with the proper set up and enough HP(big),that a stand up Roadster (g-or-f) can go 300 plus mph.
Why do you need a front spoiler or a rear wing? If your Roadster does not handle (loose term) fix the roadster, DO NOT
put a Bandaid on it !! Does Vintage appearence mean anything anymore? If you want to go fast with your head in the
wind build a Lakester. That's my 2cents     Eric Eyres

Desired Rulebook Wording: add 4.cc.7 front spoiler    small spoiler on grill shell or front axle to provide front stability to be in lower half of shell and be no bigger than 60-90 sq"

I think that there had better be a drawing of what they are looking for as the above stated "rule" is pretty wide open for interpretation.

I don't have a dog in this hunt but for my two cents I am against it.

No dog either, but I am with the pack that is saying SR and Roadsters should have very, very few aero mods allowed.  What makes them so bitchin is they are what they are:

Personally I would not allow cage or chute fairings.  They are and should be reflective of the time period they are from--a time warp other than eng. tech.  aero primitive and SHOULD be locked down.
 
Other than Classic Production these are the only classes that are not able to change by the on going improvements in Manufactures Aero improvements. In nearly all other door slammer classes your initial choice of body and driveline choice is dramatiacially going to influence your chance of getting to visit his Honor in in the City of Impound.
 
If you are attracted to a certain technology or feature then by all means chose a class that allows that in their rules: 

IE for example I am attracted to 4x4 --so special construction and trucks are my primary intrest.  Love to follow, admire,  and appreciate what others have done in other classes from bikes to roadsters.  YMMV   wmts

But fairings look way to cool

JL,

I've head from a very reliable source that their roadster weighs 6200 lbs.

Rich Fox, Eric Eyres, say it exactly. Gas/Fuel Roadsters are the direct unaltered link to the very roots of our style of LSR.
As stated, built properly they go 300 plus. Want a wing, go Modified, all desires are catered for.
NO changes needed for ANY reason.
