Rear wing functionality

[scirokn at hotmail.com (Jon Palm)]

After browsing several hundred Rocco pics, my son stumbled across a couple 
with no rear wing. He likes the look and asked if we could do that with his.

I am wondering if anyone knows the actual functionality of the wing or if 
it's mostly just looks. I would hate to remove it and have him spin out on a 
wet road because we reduced the downward pressure it created.
