I swear I should put the dash on with velcro
rewiring lights
but it's 3 degrees in my shop.... so I spent time trying to decide what I'm going to do about a stereo (soundbar suggestions are welcome)
I also talked to CIRO today about a rear wing.... he runs a C3 as well, so lots of talking there....Doing it all wrong since 1966

Of course, they screw up every delivery, so I figure it's fair.... and should be mentioned - after all, who else is a perfect screwup?Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; December 29, 2021, 10:40 AM.Doing it all wrong since 1966

so there's a much larger discussion about requirements of Optima and SCCA.... suffice to say Ciro Racing is helping then making the wing for my car.... and this is the information they need
the tl;dr
find the center line, then make a straight line above it (roof line)
an issue that is important is that the spoiler isn't straight
and the furthest point (as required for the rules)
the angle at the point where the spoiler will live
the legs will drop onto or beside the frame rails - this is where the frame rails are
and the total width of the legs
again with dimensions
center line is 4"
this is more for info purposes only and not directly related to the issue at hand

This look much like our LSR spoiler requirements for those classes that allow them. Except Comp Coupe that allows (IIRC) the top to be 6' above the ground! I don't know who pushed for THAT rule.

Big, stupid wing ordered (Anthony's brother said that - then I explained why I needed the and his face LIT up - now he informs me each time I see him that big wings are cool.... Seattle may not be a car mecca, but 2 kids at a time, it's changing)Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; January 3, 2022, 01:45 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966

Big (stupid) wing coming
I bought from CIRO racing. The guy who owns the company races a C3 and has done really well autocrossing. Nice guy too...
Okay so to explain 'stupid' I made a friend a couple years ago now, he's an autistic kid named Anthony.... he is amazing at forced perspective photography.... what is that?
go here and ask yourself 'real' or 'toy'
Explore the exceptional world of Anthony Schmidt Photography, where the youthful creativity of photography transforms model cars into art. Delve into Anthony's journey and his remarkable ability to capture the essence of vintage cars through his lens.
some are easier to tell.... truth is, they're all toys. And he's 13. We've become friends - so much shadow of who I was at his age - anywho, his brother is a car nut too.... I think he's 8. But he's a car nut too - likes imports (I'll fix this - I already Anthony saying 'stock is boring') - and I showed him what I plan... his response was "big stupid wing" .... so I explained to him why the big stupid wing and as any good 8 year old, he's fully on board with the idea now. But from here on out, it's the big, stupid wing.Doing it all wrong since 1966
