I got a bare Millenium chassis from KVP. What all do I need to build it for the race?

A Retro Coupe body and a some sort of Hawk 6 or PS4002FK based motor.

 

The body of choice is usually a Parma 1039B Lola T70 Coupe.

 

The hottest arm allowed in either set-up is an American Hawk.

 

No Big Dogs or X12's.

It looks like it could be a real good turnout.

 

We might be seeing some new blood for the Group F race.

 

If there is over 10, we may split it into 2 races.

It looks like at least 12 entries in Group F.

And we enjoyed having you, Phil.

 

Yes, all my racers, be it Wednesday night GTP/Group F, Saturday night Hardbody, or Sunday John Austin multiple class, are terrific.

 

In the case of all 3 groups of guys, they are more concerned about helping out the newbie, thus promoting good racing, than they are, on winning.
