With the availability issues of getting certain manufactures bodies in the style you want.

This is a rules revision regarding bodies:

If a body is on the list from one manufacture, it is legal to run another manufactures body as long as the design is basically the same. Example: JK AUDI R-10 = OS AUDI R-10

The only BMW V-12 legal is the one from JK!

Now regarding bodies that are not on the list, bring them to the race so the committee can look them over and we will go from there on an approval process.

Hey John, Gwen, and Rhett,

First, thanks for getting the rules and schedule taken care of and posted so far in advance. Very helpful. The change from Truck to GTR is great!

After reading through them, I'll throw out the following for you to consider:

  • Is the 1/16 front bumper not required for GTR?
  • On the Waxahachie flat track, will the clearance be 050 (consistent with Ranger) or 032 like was considered last year?
  • Can we delete #6 under "Scratchbuilts" ("Cut down guides legal for scratch built only") and allow cut down guides for Flexis on the flat tracks as long as minimum clearance is maintained?


That's about as nit-picky as I can get. Great job!

Thanks again

Scott Taylor

(somewhere in north Bexar County)
