checked on the upper surface, midway between the vertical mounting and outer secondary elements on both sides. Note: The
reference plane is the machined surface where the shock clevises are attached to the transmission case. Secondary wing
elements may be used in any of the provided adjustment holes. Gurney flaps (0.500" +/- 0.030") are permitted allowed as an
option for installation on the trailing edge upper surface of the front wing on secondary elements only, not the wing main
plane. They Gurney flaps must be securely attached in a secure fashion, without modification to the wing element except for
mounting hardware. Only .500” +/- .030” flaps are allowed. Maximum number of mounting locations on front flaps is 2 on each
flap and maximum hardware size is with two #8 (.156) hardware or tape. Gurney flaps, where attached, shall be are bent or

transmission surface, measured with a suitable angle gauge. i.e.; digital level on the top surface of the lower rear wing must
meet a minimum of –3.0 degrees (angled down in the back) and a maximum of +2.0 degrees (angled up in the back). It is
acceptable to adjust the lower rear element to meet these requirements element may be adjusted +2.0 to -3.0
degrees. Chamfering the upper inner corners of the wing mounting brackets to achieve the adjustment range is allowed. The

both wing elements. They Gurney flaps must be securely attached in a secure fashion, without modification to the wing element
except for mounting hardware. Only .250” +/- .030” flaps are allowed on one or both elements with five #8 hardware or
tape.The Gurney flaps only, may extend beyond the parameters of the end plate are bent or formed 90 degrees to have a sharp

b. For races with more than one qualifying session, a competitor shall start the race on any 3 or 4 marked tires from any
qualifying session for the race.
c. If a competitor chooses to start the race on any more than one tires that was not used in a qualifying session for the race and
not appropriately marked, the competitor shall forfeit his or her grid position and start from the back of the grid. This forfeiture
of grid position shall not apply if all qualifying sessions for the race were run under rain or wet conditions.
