I know this body isnt legal cause of the colors, but i wanted to paint it quick so I can see how the J71 handles.

Here are the pics of the work in progress.

Even "Man Law" doesnt have jurisdiction in VTA.

There are no "illegal colors" in VTA. I don't know where you guys get this stuff...


The original rules suggested painting cars like real race cars with numbers and not like the typical Hara-esque touring car surfboards. Colors have nothing to do with the rules.

The J71 seems to handle very well. First time in VTA at The Gate on carpet. Used a 007 Xray. Was the only one with that body. Did the red, white, and blue paint scheme and it really stood out.
