Yeah so much for those who said the Delta Wing would never be able to turn - it was running 4th overall for a while, not sure what it ultimately finished.

Delta Wing finished 6th overall, basically running P2 laptimes (that is where it finished but they weren't officially being scored).

I think one car was DQ'd and it ended up 5th.

Not too bad considering Gunnar took a 7G rollover the day before and did a quad stint in the car.

Maybe he drives better after landing on his head once or twice.

I don't think there was a weight requirement for them. Others that drove it said it was not very stable! I did not drive it but it sure looked unstable at times, particularly at 10A.
