Here are a couple shots of Heitzman's Skull Shine Spitzer from the 2006 season:

I'm SO confused! The car in that photo clearly has a single element wing! 2007 Rule Book specs for TAD rear wing appear to be very close to TF.
Can't find 2006 Rule Book . . . have TAD's been running triple element wings for all of this year?

The Alcohol cars run a single element wing, as the want as little drag as possible. The A/FD's run a dual element Top Fuel style wing as their engines like the load to make power.

My recollection was that the TAD wing rules have a minimum amount of wing area (to ensure the BAD are safe) and a maximum win area (for the AFD), however, the maximum for the AFD's is less than the TF requirment.

Quite often you will see a TF wing with only two elements on a AFD.
