Don't disagree with you that often, Jim. However, the Rover Mini Cooper body works with the 60D tires just fine. Gets a little close when using the 2 degree rear hubs, but this body was used for TCS racing for a long time. Don't see it much anymore since most guys run the mid or long WB cars now.
The body of choice for the MWB cars is the Swift and the best body for the LWB car is the BMW or the 2006 Cooper. The others just don't seem to work as well. You, of course, may find other bodies working better at certain venues, but so far have not run at any track where this was true.
And No, they don't allow much, if any body "butchering" at a TCS event.
