 Rule change summited  :-P

 Basically calling for additional plates along spoiler inside of now allowed end plates. following existing specs.

Also stating care should be used to make sure bottom of plates [if used] does't interfere with parachute opening.

DLRA#363

This blown fuel competition utility has run over 210 MPH down here at Lake Gairdner and has a lot more in it for next year.
To quote the owner/driver Michael Brixton:
"A couple of pics of my ute showing what I have done re my extra spill plates added but how I have also added a pressure plate flap so it becomes a multipurpose re safety .

Basically the 2 taller inner spill plates become the pressure flap side plate guides if deployed in a spin and the 2 smaller inner spill plates become the pressure flap stop plates so what we have tried to do is build 2 safety features into the one design 1) to help the car stay straight at high speed and 2) the pressure flap so the Ute doesn't turn into an aeroplane in a spin."






This pic shows the spill plates and also you can see the pressure flap plate that runs between the 2 taller inner side plates and you can also see the 2 inner smaller spill stop plates.

  363...that's pretty close to what we plan. But will probably go full size in middle.

   WIDE TIRES :-D
