I guess folks COMPLETELY missed that I acknowledged/accepted that the decision had been made. Ah well, guess I have to live with my ol' idiot self. Then again...I believe we may have seen a first: Whining about whining. Is that Whining^2 (squared)?

This is a great class, lots of bodies to choose from and a spec tire. I run USGT and 17.5 TC and Gt is my favorite class because of the (mostly) realistic looking bodies. :tire:

And here I thought you liked USGT more because of that large chrome horn you like to use! :D

Saw this on another thread and thought it fit here.

"Unfortunately, xxxxx can't control what tracks do. So it is entirely possible for a track or event to spec a non-xxxxx motor (tire, battery, body, min weight, etc). That is their discretion and that makes it NOT a xxxxx event or track. It is unfortunate as it does cause the issues raised by xxx. But it is not something xxxxx can control. Xxxxx simply provides a rule set that tracks and events can follow if they choose to."

Wouldn't that be a box of whine?

Hey, we idiots have to stay together! :)

GT body
 
Myron must not hit things as hard/often as I do.
I have had two or three occasions where the body has been pushed in above the headlight and stuck. I use fiberglass cloth (not drywall mesh) to stiffen the front bumper and make it more durable. That may have caused it to stay after impact. I'm going to run a strip from the headlight to the top of the wheel well to see if that helps.

My original practice body since its release is still going strong. I use a strip of foam to close the gap. But that's about it.

I did hit another racer full speed and got a split but a piece of tape and back at ithttps://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...8fcd64c5df.jpg

Hi everyone

Thank you
