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.
