@RobK,
Do I not recall your specifically saying that the McAllister Corvette DP body was acceptable for use in USGT? I'm on break at work and don't have the time at the moment to search back through the thread.
I agree with RobK's assertion that an approved body list is not necessary (and I would go so far as to say not wanted or needed). I feel this way for two reasons: The first is because RobK is on here regularly and lets his thoughts and opinions be known quickly and concisely. Think ROAR's process is that quick and easy? The second is because it seems that the tracks are going to make their own rulings anyhow and that they treat the "official" USGT rules as guidelines, not hard-and-fast rules....and that is encouraged by the USGT rules!

Corvette Prototype
Rules are rules. However, if it's not written I see it as an option. I can switch but really like the looks of the Flying M going down a long straight.

One thing I did forget to mention before....Our DP bodies are scale versions of actual current race cars, not something just made up or stylized for RC racing. That seemed to be a concern in previous posts.
Since most full scale road racing venues race several different style car classes....usually at the same time, is there a possibility that USGT would consider having different body style classes, Daytona Prototype being one of them????

To ROBK:
Since its OK to run the DP bodies, what about a rear cutout definition? On all the other cars we trim to the mold line. I am not sure these have one.
There is a line in the body rules that is interesting though:
, Can AM or IMSA style bodies, similar to 1/12 or 1/8 bodies are also discouraged

After relentless complaints about VTA not being liberal enough on bodies. Not free enough on motors and the like. It really catches me cross to see the very opposite complaint for USGT. There really is no way to win and it really is best to say this is the class. Here it is. This is it.

Maybe that is why Scotty Ernst took it 1 step further and made a list of 'GT' bodies allowed at the IIC:
- HPI 7335 Porsche 911
- HPI 7352 BMW M3
- HPI 7388 Mazda RX8
- HPI 7399 Subaru Impreza
- HPI 17218 Nissan 350Z
- PROTOform 1531-30 Lexus LFA
- PROTOform 1532-30 Chevy Camaro ZL1
- Tamiya 51375 Subaru Impreza
- Tamiya 51396 BMW M3
- Tamiya 51453 Nissan GTR
- Tamiya 51471 Audi R8
- Tamiya 51474 Ferrari 599X
