Another great looking body from Dale.

Now, in reguards to product loyalty - In the body business there really isn't any as the body mfg's do not support the sponsored drivers the way that the other mfg's do. I want to see any "sponsored" or "pro" racer call up after a major event and tell their car/motor sponsors who got them the equipment and/or paid travel expences that they were not in the main or got beat by another driver who simply mounted up the best body for that particular event. So much testing is done and racing is so close now that yes, a body that improves a car .1 per lap can move you from the A main to the D as we have seen... Right Keith?? As I am making more bodies I still say that loyalty in this area is grey and I understand this and I don't expect anyone to sacrafice a good race result for their primary sponsors if someone comes up with a better body for the given event. The primary sponsor is the most important in the grand scheme and this is because they provide the most support.... Just my .02....

You said it

also, Case in point, werent you rockin a speed 12 at Cleveland?

I have the luxury of being able to practice at the finest track in the world at any time I want. I tried every current body against eachother and it played out this way. I wasnt thrilled but thems the breaks. I felt guilty, but Dale appreciates honesty more than no heads up at all.

Keith - Yep I did. It was more important for SMC, JACO, Fantom and a CEFX car to win the race. Losi makes bodies but sometimes they don't use them either. Look at Hara and HPI........

We have unfortunately already committed to Saturday at WOH in Cinci. Junior, Pulfer, RB Love, and myself. Not too sure about Ezrow. We'll definitely keep you guys posted. I've been wanting to get up there since Josh opened.
