Wish I had video. We had some of the best VTA racing Friday night. There were 5-6 cars nose to tail for laps. At one point 3 cars wide through almost every section of the track. We really loved racing this class. It's plain awesome

I just got my 69 camaro and the frt. cut out for the tires isn't big enough for the tires to turn, it hits on top of the wheel well.I know your supposed to cut on the lines but it needs to be cut like the 68 body.

Thunder Jam in Nashville was big this year and 1st and second place was less than 2 seconds in the A main. I finished in second. My car was very good till about 2/3 and something in the left rear went soft and kept spinning me around in the sweeper. I tried to keep it together but got passed about 3 laps to go and just couldn't gather it back up.

1st car was running a GTB and Novak 21.5, my car was running a Tekin in blinky mode and 21.5 Novak, 3rd was using Havok and 25.5 which was a disadvantage for sure.

Good close racing all day.

THANKS!!!

I've been really wanting to do this body. I had a 1972 Mustang convertible once upon a time (that would be a cool body too HPI!) but I also have a soft spot for for the late 60's style.

I don't think this body will hold up as well as the HPI Camaro body for regular racing now that I've completed it. The lexan in the nose gets really thin in some spots due to all the detail they mold in. Even with Shoe Goo, I don't think it will last as long as the Camaro. So, this may just be a "show" body for at home. We'll see. Regardless, HPI does some killer stuff!

The paint color is Faskolor Key Lime. I airbrushed it and also applied a faux carbon fiber look on the hood. They had carbon fiber in 1966 didn't they? Not! Oh well, hopefully the VTA gods will forgive the transgression.



Its sitting on an Associated TC3 chassis.

I have actually found the HPI mustang body to be much more durable than the HPI Camaro. The guys I race with have had the Camaro fronts tear during the first race night, the mustang i just push out the dents and keep going. After 8 weeks with the mustang body, I just added some shoe goo to it last week.

thanks to all the guys that came out to Thunder Jam #3...it was a very good event....

thanks to Donald "TQ" Martin, this brain child of a race is just as much your fault as me and Roberts...lol...thanks Buddy

thank you again Robert for even allowing this event to take place...I dont care how bad of a racer you are, you are good dude...No Homo

thank you Tim Moore as always being there...and for putting me in 1st place in the concourse.....

thanks to the TC and 12th scale guys....

thanks to the out of towners.....you guys are great sports, and a credit to the Mid-south for your travel and effort to spread the VTA/on-road love across the region...

thanks to all the VTA loyal racers that helped make this event....you guys are the heart and soul of on-road racing and I hope all of you stick with it and progress to the next level of VTA racing....

the VTA class will continue to grow as long as we work together to help each other get faster and smoother. The progress I saw Sunday blew my mind....watching you guys jump up to the "A" main and fight it out for position was just mind-blowing...my hats off to all of you...

and I promise to keep making the class as fun as I can for you guys that continue to support VTA, Thunder RC Raceway, and the USVTA...thank you very much...

Myron "BATTMAN" Kinnard

ps ....to the guys that are getting USVTA legal....extra thanks...I predict that by the Indy Race...90% of us will be FULL USVTA...even if I have to buy the stuff myself...thats the truth!!!!!
