Myron,
I think his argument is that the PFM-10 isn't a real car. I realize that it is very, shall we say, Macca-like, but not everyone agrees.
I would like to remind everyone that administering the rules of USVTA, USGT, and their F1 classes, along with managing their own national points series, falls into the laps of two people. Two. Both of whom have full-time jobs, families, etc. They get NOTHING for administering the rules. They get $15 per year for those participating in the points series, which is not nearly enough for the headaches.

When everyone is running the same body due to an aerodynamic advantage, it ruins the reason the class was started in the first place. I like that The Build Aston Martin but I seriously hate that wing. It looks like something off a fake drift car.

I really love the diversity in the body styles, and I think the pictures at the races shows that diversity. If I'm not mistaken, I think Rob K's original intent with the USGT class was to bring realism back to RC road racing, instead of made up bodies just for RC. Great idea!! I think the term GT has confused everybody, especially since everybody has a different definition of the term GT. Probably US Road Racing would have been more descriptive and more inclusive. The key factor is that the RC body should resemble an actual car that exists in full scale....the original intent. No matter what the name is attached to the full size car or it's scale version. All of our bodies at McAllister Racing are scale versions of actual cars that exist. Hope that explains our approach to our road racing bodies.
