| After watching my boy Harrison go upside down and seeing for the first time what the bottom of the car looks like, modeling will be easy. A flat sheet with rear diffusers. Follow Tamiya and do curbside ? Not miss much. |

| Looks like the bottom of a 1/32 scale slot car, even looks like it has magnets! |

Looks like a slot car chassis to me, just missing the guide!

The 2022 Cup car is really a version of the SCCA Trans Am cars. I have no doubt you can take a 2022 Cup car to a SCCA Trans Am race and be allowed to race. IRS, Transaxle, flat bottom and under tray are found on Trans Am and IMSA cars. NASCAR is just following current tech. |

I have shelves lined with at least 50 past NASCAR champions and other assorted favourites (Grey Ghost, Blue Goose, Laughing Clown). Others to come soon.
Can't recall the last time I picked one up and looked at a chassis. Or looked under the hood or trunk of those that raise up. |

| I'm thinking the exhaust design is their attempt to make the interior less hot by not running it as much under the driver's compartment. Seems like they are incorporating a lot of good ideas in this new car. The side number placement is starting to grow on me but still bugs me a little bit. Seems to make the car look more elongated. |
