Secondly I ran it back to back with P1Z

The P1Z is tried and true and an amazing body. The BWOAH is a little more aggressive on entry yet still stable like the P1Z. I've found that you can't drive most other USGT bodies as hard as the P1Z. The BWOAH is just as good if not better.

I hit the exact same hot lap. So both are great but the BWOAH might be my go to!



Lastly, if you have an Awesomatix MMXA, then you will HAVE to run the HRB. It's slammed and I moved the body probably 2-3mm forward. By doing so, the rear body posts hit right where the spoiler mounts are.




ZooRacing knew this and there are lines on the bumper to help line up your holes. (See pic below).

I also believe that even at a neutral mounting position you will still need the HRB.

I did the best I could and I measured the middle of the body hole to top of the spoiler mount at 27.3ish. I probably would raise it to 28 or 28.3 next time as I had to trim the sides and front lip to keep from dragging.



I also measured the front hole to some sort of reference point and found the front windshield corner was best. I measured that at 89.3



I think I'm pretty close on where the best measurements will be on the body, but might want to try and try mounting it neutral to see how that goes, but I always move my bodies ever so slightly forward, hence why I mounted it the way I did.

Here are wheel cut out pics to show what it looks like up close to the mold lines



Hope this helps! The BWOAH is legit!
Are you running on i door carpet? USGT fell off out here a bit as everyone has migrated over to 21.5TC...Dujuan and myself included.

Yes sir. Indoor black carpet. Had a buddy run it outdoor on asphalt and had nothing but good things to say

I hate it fell off out your way. It's my favorite class.

Actually. I've tried those, and they are slightly more grippy than the Gravity imo.. Nothing to write home about, if you know how to prep your Gravity tires. They are also VERY heavy.

But our local club allows FWD to use "Slicks on Spokes" in hopes to garner more FWD interest in USGT and FWD in general. That being said I chose Solaris, narrower and only slightly quicker in the end.

We also do not police any weight regs for any cars at club race..

Gary, to your point, very similar to what's being used by the majority today. Not a lot of difference. But...it is what it is. Legal on the left and illegal on the right.

Yeah, I was watching a USGT race on youtube, I thought that it might have been a mislabeled 21.5 TC race complete with stupid looking bodies with the stupid looking TC paintjobs and all. Nope, it was an actual USGT race with everyone running the "legal" USGT bodies.

so there is a class with a Spec 21.5 and a class with open 21.5

yet "we" are stressing over a 30g weight reduction because of 'technology'... ...all in hopes to get closer lap time as that of 21.5 TC (altho no one will flat out say it) because 'faster is more funner/better-er'


uhmmm what?!?!

I nearly fell out my chair when I heard the local track was considering a 'beginner USGT' class..

Will be trying something a bit different next time out.
I ran that combo at nats, a800fxa with a 308 2.0 body. I am going to try an mk9 or gorilla this week.
