Nope, Hot Rod GT didn't make it. I really liked it too.

Matches the Speed Mind neon wheels really well. 21.5 Thunder Power motor and the class spec Gravity tires.

okay...I like it...there I said it...Scott you do great work

Wow....another fantatic scheme. Too bad that I have that body and a Riley NIP that I'll never get to use.

You can use both bodies under the ISSC rules.

That looks killer! I have the same body, just haven't painted it yet. I might have to reconsider my scheme.

So whats the deal with the Corvette Daytona body? I'm seeing mixed things on the internet about it being allowed for USGT. Is this body grandfathered in? Some are saying it shouldn't be allowed because of the rear profile.

At JMR the popular bodies are the Caddy & PFM10.
Heard that the PFM10 needs rear bracing to prevent tire tuck.

I'll do that, they try to keep things by the books which I appreciate but I haven't even painted it yet so I'd hate to have a body I can't run... plus its not going to give me the win as I'm easily 1-3 laps down from the leader depending who's racing that night.

What's happening is the foam is getting hung(peanched) between rim and tire and then just shreads it to nothing
