I'm looking for a pic of the blue car with the white stripes that is a race car .. I want to see the rear spoiler that is just a fin like NASCAR about 4-5 inches high. Where did I see that?

Anyone know where I can find more pictures of the top blue race car? I am interested in the roof scoop. I like those side scoops too.
The owner of the "Blue race car" is Martin Joergens in Germany, and a very good friend of mine.
His car is VIN 6015.
Let me try to find some more pics. We are usually neighbours in large events like Le Mans Classic and I have tons of pics of his beautiful car, prepared by Willi Braun.

Thank you! That scoop is MUCH more simple than I expected.
I like that he is running the original wheels. I have been thinking about going back to mine.
Does any vendor make those spoilers or are they custom?
Why on earth would you want to put a spoiler like that on anything other than a full race car? Think how hard it would make it to lift luggage in and out of the trunk, let alone the trunk insert. The additional drag it would create would take a good mile or two off you fuel economy at highway speeds.
Sometimes I think race car features are best left on actual race cars. At least a Superbird type wing would not interfear with getting things over the lip as it is attached to the body and clears the trunk lid at its utmost open position. It would also add a good bit of downforce with out adding huge amounts of drag.
Somtimes I wonder if we are any better than the "ricer" guys at all.

The spoiler attaches to the deck lid and does not interfere with access to the engine bay, in any way. The duck tail spoiler has been a very effective aero dynamic aid in racing, such as on the Cobra coupe and in Nascar today. I for one like the look.

Luggage? Trunk? Trunk insert? Are we driving the same kind of car?

Now THIS is a great argument. I get 8 MPG (10 highway) and would kill for a couple extra MPG.
Im just going to say that I like the look.
Its biggest issue may be blocking the view from the rearview mirror, with the delta wings you can see under them.

Don't get me wrong, I love race cars and the way they look. But I also like being able to start the car without having to squirt nitro down the injectors. I like coming to a stop without the engine dieng and being able to go from a stop light without either stalling the engine or frying off your $800 a piece tires. I can bearly get in and out of the car now without a roll cage. How on earth would I get in with one. My head rubs the headliner the way it is. I like being able to roll down my windows. I like the fact that my car smooths out bumps and doesn't shake and shimmy like a lumber wago when crossing over railroad tracks.
No sir, let young kids drive around on the streets in race cars. I want none of it myself.

Uhmmm, mainly because I can't afford to turn it into a street driven race car, but moral ingdignation makes me sound cool, so I taste the sour grapes and yet claim they are sweet.
