ROAR does not have a GT style class.
And that’s disappointing that the body is disallowed until it is “official”. It would be a surprise if it’s not allowed soon.
I am sure that nothing was promised prior to production, but I don’t see a company like Bitty designing a body (and even making the only wing mold line the USGT max legal 10mm) without being pretty dang sure that what they produced would be allowed.

I'm far from anything close to an authority on anything in this (or any other on-road) class...but, I would assume that the additional bumper piece could/should be used in determining the body's weight, as it is attached to the body, not the chassis. Besides, including the add-on bumper into the body weight can only help you, as the body has to meet a minimum weight, right?

There should be a different minimum weight for the bodies that come with any pre attached foam to make it fair for other foamless body manufacturers, since the foam's weight and low position effectively lowers the total CG of the body compared to another body of the same weight that does not have any foam installed...There should also be another rule to stop the addition of body accessories in order to make minimum weight: hopefully there won't be any polycarbonate lead based paint used to make minimum weight.....

Seriously worrying about how your body makes weight is picking fly scat out of pepper. Bodies need approval and they need to be a certain weight. Who the heck really cares how your body makes weight I sure dont. Making more rules is just another way to steer people away from usgt. It's bad enough that at the vta national race tour this past weekend their was only 10 usgt cars that showed up. Make things easier not stupid.
