On a completely different note from the bodies ROAR hat is on...

No motor now legal will become illegal. The basis for the resistance limit will come from the lowest measured resistance from an approved motor submitted before Sept. 1, 2017. At that point, the measurement will be locked.

Also, I am proud that we have created something everybody likes so much they are willing to argue for days on the interwebs about it.

Run pan cars as the Prototype , Tc as the GT run them on the same track. It would have to be a big track like Leisure Hours In Illinois though
We run 17.5 blinky TC and Pro10 in the same heats at my local club, even though it's a pretty small track (16x10 meters), great fun!

in our area we don't have such stuff. We run by roar rules and there is not much leeway. Im all good with it. I will find a use sometime some where. if not a vintage class if one ever comes about.

nobody would fuss if you ran them for club races, I know I wouldnt have an issue with it. For the Nationals or Thunder Jam that would be different.

I say run them in GT or TC and enjoy them...glad just to have you race...well race smaller cars lol

I meant to tell you earlier, that's a very sweet looking body shell. (I was too busy being negative...LOL) Nice work Mike! Pretty much everything you do is cool.

I just picked up the August/17 issue of Automobile magazine. There's a really great in-depth article about Horacio Pagani and his amazing cars and factory. This guy is a total artist extraordinaire, and it shows through in in everything he touches. He was definitely cut from a different piece of cloth. It's a GREAT read.

Is this body illegal? I don't see it on the list? Tamiya Ebbro 350R or Mach Go Go.. same body.

Yes it is... JGTC now Super GT GT300 Class. Based on the Vemac RD200 street car. Looks a bit like a Lotus.
