don't think it would work. wings create drag no matter how you tilt them. it would reduce sprung weight but would not affect the mass of the vehicle. going up hills, the engine would still have to pull the car. the wing would reduce mileage. My suggestion, get a lighter car with a smaller engine and try to bring someone else on race trips to split costs and put more people in the stands.
