Alchemy Autosport 659 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 VERY VERY VERYYYYYYYYY Long story... But its two of us that run/own Miata PI - Now Alchemy Autosport and that homemade wing was a topic of discussion for many years... There is an ex-wife (name on the wing), a sponsorship, a new car, and a bunch of other factors... @Jamie has been intimately involved for quote some time and I dont think either of us saw the day this would happen voluntarily...

Alchemy Autosport 659 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 @mender LOL. I would love to comment more on that one but I will leave it lie... But I will say, I think that the death of this homemade wing, that is roughly 7-8 years old, represents the end of an era - how many home made wings are left in the series?!?!?! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Voodoo Child 264 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I can verify with certainty that the Flyin Hawaiians are running a home made plywood wing. I built it using an Eppler airfoil design, plywood from Aircraft Spruce & Specialty in Corona, Ca, and a router. Growing up building cabinets, skateboards, and guitars with my carpenter father paid off in my racing endeavors as well. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not quite homemade, but I want to run this on a car one day. It’s light and it’s not going to break below 180 mph, I know that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
