Can anybody tell me what the difference is between the standard sideboard and a super sideboard on a top sprint car wing? Also, what is this 1 degree skew about? Does the wing sit on the car with the front skewed to the right?

I know there are some winged sprint guys out there. I'm not asking what wing to buy, I'm just asking what the difference between a standard side board and a super side board. Also, what is the skewed wing?

I am not 100 % on this, but pretty sure that the super sideboard is a symmetrical rectangle, built to provide the maximum surface area allowed by the rules, while a standard has a bit of taper, smaller at the front to allow for better visibility. As for the 1degree, I believe that is is built slightly out of square witht the front to the left when facing forward. According to my wing supplier the degree wing helps if the driver likes the car to drive off the LR. People always tell me that there is somehting wrong with my wing when they look straight back at the car. I don't see it, but I also can't hang a picture level.
