Just a heads-up for those of you thinking about an APR wing...
I talked to Tony Nguyen at APR last week about the 8.75" dimension listed on their website. Actually I asked him for max chord length and total wing area to be armed with data when I submit a request for the GTC-200 to be allowed even though the spec'd dimensions exceed the new rule for chord length.
Tony went out to the shop and measured one of their wings, and it's right at 8.5" at the center. basically it depends on how you hold the tape measure whether it's over or under due to the curves on the leading and trailing edges of the wing. Honestly I don't think anyone would ever give you crap about it, but I know how anal some of the rule nazis can be......
Also, the GTC-200 is/was listed on SCCA Pro's allowed wings list for Touring class- which was spec'd at 8.5" x 48" just like ours is now. I haven't been able to find the list on pro racing's website, but it would be good ammo to have as well- showing that someone in SCCA agreed that it met the 8.5 x 48 regulation.
