[DeTomaso] Rear wing

I have an old recollection that Jim Hall had to mount the wing struts on the 2F to the rear carriers because he had so much down force that it bottomed out the suspension if the struts were attached to sprung members.

I am not really sure if my rear wing actually has a lot of function. I have run with and without it at track events but we usually run from 125-140 and I cannot tell the difference. I have been told the angle is not steep enough. I did run silver state and hit 166 with everything feeling stable
I think keeping the front planted is more important. I added acrylic to my chin spoiler
