Haruki,

Of minor note. The one you show is not the version Parma is depicting in their submittal.

The correct, flatter nose one from the 1969 Mexico Grand Prix is shown in our post.

The SCRRA saw pics provided here of the new Parma F1 BRM and see absolutely nothing wrong with it at first glance for SCRRA racing. John is going to get a couple from Parma to check out further and we will announce a decision ASAP but we see nothing that would cause it's rejection. Very scale-looking and no aero enhancement whatsoever.

More to follow on this but the SCRRA see no problems with the new Parma BRM...

Hi, Steve,

When will they (1049B) be available at distributors such as Eagle and ERI?

Haruki, isn't it amazing that the SCRRA took less than five minutes to approve the body? Good going, SCRRA.

From the post I see above, from Bryan, they sort of approved the body. (of course, unless I missed something)

Mike. "they" (the SCRRA "Men in Charge") have not seen a live body, only the picture on top of this thread. I would say that it is an approval in record time... :)

Well, they ran out of roses to throw in front of the presenters, and they did not have two to three months to kick around the idea, then find it had not properly been presented on a Royal Pillow, and since the Checkpoint Cup is about 1 1/2 months away, they threw caution to the wind, and temporarily gave it approval, and if it proves to be a game changer, the SCRRA has in its'rules that it can change it at any time.....What a concept,

Yes, the IRRA™ had the actual original body, conveyed the required corrections to Parma (all minor - not a dig on Parma at all), got the redone one, voted on it and approved it, and posted the picture.
 
Haruki then took our pic and presented it in this forum.
 
So Mill gives credit to the SCRRA (not a dig on the SCRRA at all) when we did all the work and the credit he gives really isn't accurate.
 
But that's OK.
 
The ™ is used to doing most of the heavy lifting and I'm used to Mill stretching the truth.
 
As a penalty, I hereby sentence Mill to "Life" on FB Slot Chat, debating with Ron Hershman. :laugh2:

At least there will be critical thinking involved, and so much thanks for doing the heavy lifting,

   As far as the Parma BRM is concerned NOTHING has been approved yet. I think I said the SCRRA saw the Slotblog pics and it looks great and a decision on it's legality would be made ASAP as soon as John gets a couple from Parma to check out further........

As Bryan confirmed above, you sometimes confuse "critical thinking" with "bullsh*t".
 
BTW, I only stepped in here because you were disseminating wrong information.

I doubt this body will be a game changer in a way that the new Retro Hawk "Kulpower" motor approval may cause/prove to be.

No word from John C or Bryan W. as to a Yes yet; we are still waiting.

I think Parma posted they would Ship to John on Monday if and when John gets them we will hear it here.
