I do actually care how the shells looks like and this shell was not nice i think. It seems like i need to do my own shell for this chassi so i can enter a race without being laughed at because i always disses the bulldogbodies and this is far more ugly, a nice body will help sell kits....

OMG that actually makes the X-6 look atractive, good work Vega.
What's under the shell looks amazing, credit where it is due. My advice would be to get on the blower to Phat Bodies and ask him to make you a shell that doesn't look like a frog in a sock |

I really like my vega shell
the lumps in the front accomodate massive speedos with fan, with weight under them for a low cg+ the holes can be reamed out for cooling it covers the car well creates even downforce at the rear as well as covering the spur and is 1mm thick for crashers like me Looked at making it more conventional but there really isnt many more options that suits all the important areas but i do understand its different!

I am puzzled why you would make the above comment Graham, and then not reply to everyones questions!
Why do YOU think the shell is not BRCA legal? Surely not because Alec didn't trim the front nose off??!! I personally I think as a BRCA official that you are, you should at least give your views on your comments

Yeah - c'mon Graham.
I've wracked my brains and even read the rules on the BRCA website but still not any clearer. Are you querying the fact that it may not be commercially available (section 22.4) or that it isn't a reasonable representation of full size cars generally accepted as being suitable for Rallycross, Rallying, Trail and Desert races (22.1) Or is it that you don't like Alec's paint job - in which case rule 22.8 could be invoked I did wonder about the tinted windows - but I don't think that is a requirement within BRCA - but maybe for EFRA? Or is it, as Tony suggests, the fact that Alec has not cut his body short enough at the front so technically, you consider the body to be the most forward protruding part of the car and is thus the bumper, in which case rule 23.2 may be contentious since it does not have rounded edges and corners? I don't mind a puzzle but shed some more light please... |

Not sure if you'd realised but I've not been on here too much recently and there are more than a few personal and work reasons for that. I friend has alerted me of your questions. You could have contacted me if you wanted. The reason I have not replied yet is that I don't want to rush a reply, and have simply been too busy, sorry for that. Yes I am a BRCA official, but I am also a Volunteer BRCA official, other stuff sometimes has to come first. I will reply, don't worry. G

OK, maybe I should have put "I think the shell might not be BRCA legal" and to be honest I think I really need to see one to make a proper decision.
I'm not interested in forum arguments about how silly rules are or aren't. G

Graham,
this has little to do with me but!!! i will say my piece. People talk rubbish on forums and say things that are not true!! As a BRCA official (which all BRCA commitee members are) you have to be careful what you say as people take you literaly. When you make a plain comment "Pity its not BRCA legal" You can imagine how the people feel who have spent hundreds of pounds on a kit to race with who suddenly believe that their car cannot be used, Not to mention the damage you can cause to the business that is selling these cars! I think you need to explain yourself better please as to why you made the comment in the first place and whether the people with vested interests need to be doing things to protect their Finances. To me i can only draw my own conclusion as you have not clarfied things yet. Maybe you had a gut feeling that they where not legal because of a feature you dont like? or you just wanted to cause some confusion as this is a team car you are racing against?? Make your response quick for your own benifit as well as the owners of the car! |

Northy, you just said you can't make a judgement until you've seen the car in the flesh, but from your original comment it seemed like you had already made that judgement. You obviously had a reason in the first place to make the comment so please tell us what it was. The suspense is killing me!
I know you are Volunteer (and I commend you for that), but you've chosen to be a representative of the BRCA and you should be factual when you make statements like this. Perhaps you should have said nothing on a forum until you had made a judgement, you could always have contacted one of us before.. |

Agreed Kev, a genuine human mistake, and I apologise, I've clarified above that: "I think the shell might not be BRCA legal". Unfortunately I will soon loose internet access until late Friday night. Could you send me some good close up pictures of the shell Kev? G
