The Ford driven by Mark martin in the 2005 season has been faithfully reproduced by John in the 1/24 scale. The finish is just outstanding and it would surely win the Concours at the next race.

Just to make sure, John also built the Matt Kenseth car as a spare body for the TSR chassis. The rules call for a minimum body weight of 60 grams, and a minimum car weight of 200 grams. |

The chassis receives the legal modifications allowed for the class, that are purely for resisting strong impacts against the ever-present wall. |
The body is allowed to float from side to side as it helps the car to be more forgiving at the limit. Weight is also a factor. In fact, the car that has won all the local NASCAR races, the Chevy driven by veteran pro-racing driver Mike Steube, weighs in at 225 grams. It works!
