I don't blame them, Walter's 360 still amazes me!
It's not stock, If I remeber, didn't he put Hamaan ground effects on it.
(forgot how to spell the hamaan thing)

I'm still here. I peek in almost everyday, but haven't decided to post as much because I don't have anything going.

Well, to answer your questions. It is a factory stock vehicle from Hamann. The rules state that you can have modifications done to the body, rims, and aftermarket detail parts may be added as long as it is primarily a Tamiya based model. I could have entered it in extensive modifications, but I felt it didn't qualify for that. Last year, my convertible Porsche was entered with a chopped roof and aftermarket rims. It was not denied entry, but one can not cmpare that to Dale King's LMP Porsche Spider which was also in the same category. Jay can chime in if he remembers last year's contest.

Thanks for posting that Chris. I wonder if the US version of Tamiya mag. is the same? I know its printed in the UK.

Thanks again everyone for your support.

-Walter

Mu 'interpretation' is that it is a factory-stock vehicle, just from the Hamann factory, not Ferrari's.

Again, well done Walter!!

congratulations, I guess that the prize is more than the $200 contract for building it?
