I've got a disc with >100 shots coming. Here's one I took in the paddock.

Just got back from Road Atlanta where I ran the NASA 3-hr enduro yesterday. Managed a third overall and 2nd in class. Put in 95 laps during the race.

I have photos of the substructure holding the front end on if that is what you want?
Thanks Tim but I'm not interested in that and his car should not need them as this is a splitter and not a chin spoiler!?!

I do not have a pic showing how far back the splitter goes under the car but I can tell you that it goes beyond, and sits slightly below the front of the original aluminum underbelly pan (which is still installed).
Now that is exactly what I would like to see mate

P.S. That side shot looks stunning but I'd love to see 16's on there just to help your front ground effects Ya need that nose down another inch or 2 without compromising bump steer

What seat is that you are running?

I agree that the front should be lower, the GT fiberglass piece is 1.5" lower than stock but not low enough. I don't see that going down to 16's is going to make a difference. If you look at the diameter of R6 Hoosiers in 16 and 17 the 17's are smaller

245/45-16 is 24.7"
245/40-17 is 24.5"

275/45-16 is 25.6"
275/40-17 is 25.5"

Notty - how'd you fit in that thing? I've seen the Formula Vee's close up and I'd be lucky to fit one of my size 13 boats under the steering wheel.

You lay down in it- All motor trans ( actually a CVT trans) is behind you, radiator on each side (very hot) and your feet are within 6" or so from the front in the nose. My feet are slightly in front of the front wheel center line. It is very tight to get in and out.

And Uh... I did not name the driver........... Mike

Tim- do they run any open wheels classes in NASA? I didn't think they do....?
