This popped up semi-close to where I live and I am thinking about going and taking a look at it. Does anyone have any more info on it?

The only other info that I could find is here:

I guess what I am curious about is how difficult would it be to go back road racing with it?
Pretty cool car, but definitely very skewed toward the solo discipline. Buying a proper FV for 2 or 3 times more, would be better value IMO. For 1/4 or 1/2 the asking price, it may be a good "parts" car for a FV racer.Quote:

Even with the rule changes, SoloVees are not really competitive at the national level with the formula f cars. It would cost thousands of dollars to bring the car up to the current rules. As it sits, with a new engine it could be a FDT car in most regions. It will certainly be a fun car to drive.
Depending on the builder, a really good 1915cc engine should cost about $4000. A new set of tires will be about $1000.
If you are looking to road race a FV, take Greg's advice and buy a road race legal car. If you want to be nationally competitive in C Mod, buy a solo prepared FF, such as https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/sho...and-Trailer-IL
does a zero roll vehicle have an anti roll bar?
Some do. Mine did but I removed it. I found no difference in handling.
Because it's not a zero roll car? ;)Quote:

Perhaps the size bar they wanted to run in the front made it a push-pig in an autocross setting and they needed to introduce some additional roll resistance in the rear for desired balance.
