Hottest Carpet body
#31

I've found that the dna is good for mod but to much for stock. I still like the parma for stock and 19T.

thanks, Guys
i will give the mohwak a try. too many alfa at the bird,s like to be diffrent

#33

I am by no means one of the faster guys on the carpet (foams) but I have had luck with the Mazda 6 body, I have a Alfa but did not like it, I am however thinking of trying it with my new set-up a friend did for me.

Here is a picture of the new Mohawk. It is available now. The part numbers are 10074L for lightweight and 10074 for the standard weight. It is also ROAR approved.

was that a serious post from goetz!? or was there some alternate meaning? cmon tell us how you really feel buddy

i like how the flames make a skirt that almost envelopes the cab. if i didn't think flames were the single least original scheme ever, i might copy that sucker. then again, my rattle can technique might not be too desirable here.

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.
I.I.C Race (carpet) in Vegas:
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.

Thanks to everyone that used Parma products.
