PARMA Mohawk
Well I'm here at the Novak and it looks like the PARMA Mohawk body is the hottest carpet body. Currently it is producing the quickest lap times at the race in all the foam classes (Mod, Stock, 19T). Many of the nations top drivers have choosen the PARMA Mohawk for competiton this weekend the event.

Seems like 95% of the buzz on this thread has not really answered your question too accurately. The results from the last 3 major carpet events (including todays NOVAK U.S. Touring Car Championships) are all pointing toward the Protoform DNA1 (w/ the foam/carpet combo) and the Mazda 6 (w/the rubber/carpet combo) being..... very good.

Stock Touring Car Rubber A-Main
1st Place & TQ - Jason Ertrachter - Pf Mazda 6
10 out of 10 in A-Main - Pf Mazda 6

2nd place Qualifier - 2nd place Finish - Barry Baker - DNA1
(incomplete information - race is still running)

Rod: the all new MazdaSpeed 6 #1487-00 should definitely be worth a test - since most pro racers who've had a chance to test it with a rubber/carpet combo say it's even better than the older Mazda 6. (easier to drive quick laps)
In 8 days the options for you racers will increase once more with the official release of the Pf DNA2 designed specifically for rubber tire racing on carpet as well as paved surfaces.
Both new bodies, the #1487-00 MazdaSpeed 6 as well as the DNA2 are ROAR approved.
Good luck at the 'Birds Rod! - Dale Epp - Protoform

Thanks Dale,
I was prepared to go with the Mazda 6 and your advice along with a little more research made it easy. I will have to get my LHS to get the new one to go with the one I have.

We also had a good showing with the Type M body on rubber tires. 1st place in brushless and many other A main appearances in brushless and stock rubber.
Thanks to everyone that used Parma products.
