Reply to "WINGS! Is there a link to pics of the different wings people have chosen to run?"

Thanks for the pic Marlin!

I'm VERY familiar with the Chapparels. Watching vids of the moveable one are killer

Chapparel, like Shadows, were forward thinkers, ahead of their time.

Other faves are the "vacum cleaner" car, which had a second snowmobile engine mounted at the back of the car, sucking the air from inside the body, causing great suction. They had nylon runners that scraped along the ground on the sides to make a better seal.

They were also one of the first cars to race with automatic transmissions.
