The Raceway in Cleveland, TN has a monthly JK Spec Class...LMP using the C-21 chassis, GTP C-43 chassis, Raptor Pro motors and 11:36 gears.  The bodies have to be .010" thick...track is an LTD with minimal banking.  I need bodies that are Senior Citizen Friendly, I'm still new at Flexi Car racing.

If it's a spec class what are your choices. I wouldn't think they would let a spec class have unlimited choices, I guess .010 is a limiting factor and/or only JK bodies?

If only JK bodies, this is the LMP I used, it has good support for the nose, better side dams, a smaller cockpit and a nice leadup to the wing

This is the GTP I used, though it has an open cockpit, it has great side dams, much better than the closed cockpit version. I had to brace the nose on .007, you might not have to on a .010.

The above mentioned JK Mazda Dyson is a good choice for the LMP class, for the GTP class I would recommend the RTR Revolution body.

We run a similar spec class on a flat track, and the JK BMW V12 is the body of choice. Our list of approved bodies is pretty restrictive, and the aforementioned Mazda Dyson is not approved per our rules.

Personally I would buy both, the JK BMW V12 and the JK Mazda Dyson, and see which you prefer.

I have had no luck thus far with the open cockpit JK LMP Bodies on the track in Cleveland TN.


That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.
