Toyo Proxes R888

Yeah, I'm running an 8 pt. car with the:
3.2 3
strut brace 1
torsion bars 2
tires 2

But if I put a stock tail piece (spoiler, whale tail or whatever it's called) I should not have to take points as I read the rules.

That said, we are trying to put something together that might put us in 944Spec. We'll see if and when we gets it done. The plan is by March. The 914 is stalled for a while, so that will have to wait maybe this time next year.

'07 rules = correct. However, I believe in '08 the new rules for aero-spoilers is factory or not ... equipped on 10% of sold or not ... if you have any aero-devices front or rear, you take 2 points. At least that was my understanding from discussions with Steve G. at the OCAX (and of course, I could be way off on this).

So, I take 2 points for my front "chin spoiler", even though the car may have come with it as OEM factory equipment at time of sale. Now: do I remove said spoiler, or add a tail? Time will tell...

This reminds me of the changes they made for LDS transaxles a couple of years back. I think Greg P. can give you more insight into that one. Or Jad D. as well. I seem to remember they both had to take points for OEM LSD's in their cars after a certain year. Is that right guys?

Anyway, Thanks for the info on the R888's guys. I'm looking forward to the new tires with the slightly different sizing. Should be a fun competitive year.

Happy New Year!
