James, should we be putting on closed bods for the Can am race Sat.?

It would appear Not Charles,...I too was wondering the same thing,..especially as I have been absent for the last few rounds.
I came prepared, with a Coupe body,..Just in Case.

Being So Far into the 'Season',..I am assuming the Coupe Bodies aren't 'On the Program' as before.

Not sure Why.

I did speak to James about the bodies during the week and he admitted they overlooked the transition to closed bodies that should have occured half way through the season.
It's funny how I've heard ppl mention this is Ti22 racing, and yet they don't seemed overly concerned about actively pursuing the option of a closed body.
Having said that the last round was won by a Ferrari and Brad will be the one to catch next round.
I wonder if we will see some other shapes on the starting line next round

Thanks for the 'Update' Charles.

Yeah,..it Can be a bit Ti22 Racing eh?
Mind you it Was one of My Favourite CanAm cars when I was a Teenager, along with the many McLarens,.. So 'personally' Don't really have any real Issues with that,...and they DO handle well,..

Whilst I TOO also tend to run a Ti22,..I Have also run Ferrari 612's both the later TrueScale version and the Dave Bloom Champion variant )as Brad ran in the last round and Dale often used to use).
Have also run a Lola T163 and McLaren M8A and have a McLaren M8b painted and ready to go.

I'd venture some of the more slippery style bodies Like the Lolas, McLarens and Ferraris could be 'The Go' for the Melb' Nats', especially if we will be racing on the Kingleman !!,..

Yes,..Brad drove a Very good race the other night eh?,..So good to see him get a Good Win like that. He drove Very well and deserved the Win and turned a pretty darn good Lap Total as well.
