Jerry Kulich dropped off the first copies of this new chassis during the ISRA/USA "Masters" Warmup.

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

What ISRA class would this fit into?
Is there a 1/32 'production' class? ... Or, will this be the creation of a 'new' class?

Larry, a lot of tracks in the US & Europe run 1/32 production classes. Locally it's with Falcon motors. In Great Britian they run Falcons & c-cans. The Proslot Demon, made in Italy, was the chassis of choice. Looks like Jerry wants to give them a run for the money.

Yes, ISRA/USA has a 1/32 "Production" class that this chassis would be targeted toward.

I don't know how it could be much better than Parma's International 32 on a commercial track. I've seen that chassis keep up with a Flexi 1.

I have an Int. 32 & while it's a good handling chassis when set up correctly, the now unobtainable Proslot Demon would eat it for lunch. 
I'd expect this new JK to now become the cream of the crop.

Great looking chassis! As for the ProSlot Demon and the Parma Intl32- i have both of those chassis set up with my own precision ball bearings and Slot-it gears, one with a CheetahII motor, the other with a Ninco motor, for use on plastic tracks for 1/32 club racing. And they perform flawlessly too!!! I have been trying to get my fellow 1/32 scale plasticar racers who enjoy no traction magnet racing to try, what i call, "the real thing"!
Not meaning that our beloved SCALE plastic chassis hard body cars are not "the real thing", i meant that we can race real commercial cars, i.e. no traction magnets, on plastic tracks too. One car i use ProTrack rears, and they hook up great on plastic track (i treat them with a bit of sunscreen lotion), and the other car i use Slot-it F-1 wheels and PPR Super Tires.
And now this chassis!! Time to build up another car and experiment with wheels/tires/gears/motors/bodies......
