How the Front Wing Stabilizes a Sprint Car

In this clip we're going to talk about he front wing, which is adjustable. You can adjust it with these holes up here and with a bar up front. The bars can be lengthened or shortened. This does basically the same thing as the top wing. It just keeps air resistance on the car, the front of the car to keep the car down. It causes you, the front of the car to come up and just pop wheelies as soon as you hit the gas. So it's a very key important part of the car. Sometimes front wings do get damaged and they cause the setup of the car just to kind of go haywire. But on a average basis I've never run with a front wing. I haven't raced these very long, but I see cars...The worst part I think about them is if they come loose and they get up in your face and you can't see anything.
