im really interested in the first 60 feet
a 1.25 60 foot = 52 mph i was wodering if, say at 25-30-mph a wing could produce enough force to help hook a small tire?

NO I am a comercial pilot as well as a drag racer with freinds who have cars that go fast, wings start to come into play on rear downfirce above 150 MPH usually, if they are set up correctly The numbers I remember being bantered around on the wing angles where from .75 to 1.5 degrees up angle from the track surfaces at speed Another thing that comes into play is the front end ride hieght and angle and air dams, if no air dams and the front end is pointed up into the air stream all bets are off They don't want air going under the front of the car lifting it up at speeds

here's a good example. i have a customer with a mid 60's Nova that was running 10.0 e.t.'s complaining that the back end of the car was skating all over above 120 MPH. he installed a wing and the car is now very stable at the top end. no other changes. it's also quicker with the wing than without.

That surprises me wouldn't think that is fast enough to make a difference my Duster running 9.7xx at 140 was rock solid with no wing.Only time it would wiggle was if you tried to run under 11psi in the slicks.

the answer to that question is NO, it will not help!
but depending on the wing, give you that real 'COOL' look lol
