+1. I also hope that Scotty adds this body to his Spec Grand Touring bodies list for the 2015 IIC.

How were the indoor nationals? Any feedback?

I find it interesting, that after all of the debate over bodies in this thread, the winning car used an old HPI Celica!

Great facility and a great race. I finished 7th in the A with a HPI BMW.

The matte black car was so stealthy I couldn't tell what it was.

Love the variety of bodies, wheels and paint schemes. I just got my TB04 Pro, and am in the process of rebuilding it and getting it ready for my local USGT series. I managed to find a HPI Vauxhall Astra BTCC body for it in a local hobby shop, so I'm excited to get it built!

Are there better or worse 24mm wheels to look out for? I normally run the Tamiya wheels, but I have been considering the Speedmind and Ride wheels now that I'm no longer building TCS legal cars.

Indoor Nats were fun!

Top 3 cars

HPI Celica ...winner
HPI Lexus IS F....2nd
Tamyia 2004 NSX...3rd

For 24mm rims I like Speedmind wheels personally...Tamiya are nice but heavy the Ride rims are very light weight but can crack if you race on hard wall tracks.

It looks like an RX-7.

I think it was the Protoform Corvette that Rob spoke about. Since that was Kevin's car.

The shiny black car was a Viper.
