It's not my car, just a random car at the track, I only posted it hoping the owner would see it here.

Yup that's David's ride, and apparently he set the single lap record for his class!

That is indeed my ride, great pic VisualEchos! Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Kamal is correct, I did set the track lap record for my NASA Time Trial class on Saturday. I also held the previous record, which I improved upon by three seconds. I didn't really have any competition in my class, so I focused on setting that record and chasing down the cars in the four classes above me

s2jay, you had me worried for a second! I bought the wing used and never thought to check and see if the end plates were correctly installed. That is, however, the orientation that APR ships the wing with.

Furthermore, it is actually the correct way. The job of the end plates is to inhibit the vortex created when the high pressure air on the top of the wing is pulled over the left and right edges by the low pressure under the wing. If you look at APR's CFD plot on the GTC-300, the higher pressures are towards the leading edge, where the end plate is the thickest.

The exhaust is a J's Racing 70RS (catback). Since I used to run autocross and I still run a Redline Time Attack event in street class every once and a while, I've kept the cat. The exhaust and a K&N drop-in are my only engine mods and a dyno run at NASA Nationals in 2008 showed 206 WHP, so apparently it actually makes decent power.

Track videos are on my youtube channel, though it usually takes me a little while to download and process everything, so I won't have this weekend up for a while.
