Correct......They also override the approved motor list.......It will never end: some folks just can't stop bending the rules to their advantage.....

RobK,

Have the new Exotek GT body been added to the approved USGT list?

So with the new onslaught of race car based bodies for USGT, does that mean the McAllister Daytona bodies are legal again? Just seems odd that they got banned, but now that the competition has caught up with these new bodies - who’s profiles are damn near identical - are allowed.
Just curious.

NO, the best guide is that if you can walk into a showroom and buy it it is likely an approved body, You cannot buy a Daytona prototype at any dealership....that is the difference.

FYI, they are not 'race car based', they are street cars first.

Can't do that with the Venom that was recently approved either...

It's not approved because robk says it isn't. Simple as that!

its just never gonna end is it? Some manufacturer could come up with a mazda miata body and someone on here would ask if that made the McAllister Daytona bodies legal.

Well if you want to race those bodies , Start your own sub class at your local track . We did it this last summer at Leisure Hours in Joliet IL. We stayed with almost all GT rules except HW 21.5 motor and a Tamiya Scirocco body . It was a lot of fun we had 5- 8 cars everytime we raced .

It's happening primarily because the Daytona and the Riley were both legal previously. Many racers were not happy with the fact they were removed without warning. But, so goes the dictatorship. It was my understanding that a group of racers were complaining about the bodies, so, they were removed.

The group complaining about VTA tires has tried and continues with the same strategy.

I once had a professor who loved the quote, " no horse is too dead to beat". Ironically, it was a negotiation course lol.

Agreed. I given up on both topics. At this point neither really matter much to me anymore.
