yoshi- the trinity speed 9 is almost the EXACT same mold as the parma speed 8, however its VERY heavy (more than the parma regular wieght) and it cracks easily, so i woudlnt recommend it. the protoform speed 8 was so great that all of protoform's drivers had to excersize their "competative clause" in their contracts that allowed them to use other brands of bodies since their sponser's stuff was keeping them from running their best (they all ran parma speed 8's). however the protoform ascari body just came out and was made ROAR legal (perfectly timed so they couldnt run the bodies at the nats, lol) but they did run them at the 'birds. its a great body and has more downforce than the parma and slightly more steering, and its very slammed (some drivers had problems fitting their electronics under it, lol).

Right now i would say the new protoform ascari is the body to get, however the parma speed 8 is very similar (i have both bodies and the only area's that really differ are the front of the ascari is slightly concave so it has more steering, and the rear wing area is slightly larger without being taller, and the ascari is open cockpit while the parma is closed). so it really comes down to personal opinion, however i am personally going to keep both in my stable and use it as a tuning device. but i would not recommend running any other body.

Loius- from the looks of that video i would assume that there isnt much traction (no groove), and getting the car to trasnition is key. thats why i would suggest a 4 cell car, i would even run 4 cells and a stock motor instead of 6 and a stock motor since the straight is very short and you dont need punch, however transitioning is key, and not to offend anyone in that video, but none of those cars seemed to transition well. Also that is defently a track where the speedmerchant would absolutly stomp the competition, espically the new V-force front end.
