Hey list,
It sounds like I picked the right class. Lots of
competition. Still waiting on the rule book but...
The Porsche body that I am building is a '78. It has
what can only be described as sort of a "dirty" nose
there is a plastic bumper out there and a lower
valance that would surely put air underneath the car
at speed.
I could update the front with parts that I have for
the later Euro Turbo car ('85) which has a hidden
bumper and more of a scoopped or staight appearance
(think Nascar front end).
With the liberal aero rules in M/S would this
"updating" be legal? This would be easier for me and
the modification would be quick and have somewhat
proven aero.
