I bet at Retropalooza, you will see 2, and maybe 3 different Can Am bodies, in A Main.

Lola T-163, Ti22 NN long, and Ti22 NN short.

A motor is only as fast as the chassis it's in.

Yep Dom, those were the three I was thinking of. Lol

I'm surprised more people don't run the short Ti.

I like it.

Without having a lot of time to test motors and tires, at the Sano, it's about my only hope to make the A Main.

Last week I talked to a distributor, who told me they had no idea when Parma would resume their production.
We are now running out of their Ti22NN’s.

I got some of the new Betta TI's Haruki.  If you like more downforce--they are very nice!!  


She's real fine, my 409!!!

Is Parma still open? I thought bodies & paint were two of the last items Parma had.

Haruki, patients my friend, rumor has it that someone has used their US stimulus check to purchase Parma!?!?
