I have a couple of new bodys to paint up (68 and 69 Camaro and 77 Trans Am) and am looking for ideas paint wise, everyone in VTA locally seems to have gone red, I had been using the Parma Cuda Body and it handled ok (A LOT better than the J71) but looks like s#it!
Local VTA is 17.5 Blinky, no FDR limits, 1500 gram limit.
I have a full list of bodies on page 1 of the thread Nex.. The body you refer to is a GT not a Trans Am body these cars do not qualify as a VTA. Our track as per similar VTA rules in the US are 21.5 in the US they actually run 25.5 but these are not available here. Parma is also on the list on page 1 listed as per VTA rules.. hope this helps..
On a personal note it would be good to see clubs adopt a uniform rule set that closely resembles the US so that we can all cross participate at any club and all be on a fair and equal playing field.. In the US and several other countries the class has taken off due to the fact that the class is uniform cheap and a great fun class..
Here is the Body list again for anyone that hasnt trawled through the first couple of pages...
