Rear wing functionality

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

i was driving the rieger last week after the tail end of the storm was 
passing us by. i had something nuts like a 40 mph tail wind on the highway, 
and the rieger has never felt so loose. i was only doing about 70. i 
actually pulled over thinking i had a flat. wing/spoiler may do more than 
you think.
