One more satisfied customer here - and I really don't know what I'm talking about! :-) The folks over here have been so patient with my often times inane questions, the items I've had from them have...

Yay! One more racing fan!
Congrats, O'Connells!
(and baby O'Connell - you gotta get to grips with the CGR first - start early to get ahead!)

Hi Guys

Sorry I vented a little there, it's just out of a basic sense of frustration.

What I'm after is a simple set of rules I can follow to allow me to build and run a competitive car...

So Russ, what you're saying is that we might as well all give up and run to win somewhere else? What? NASA? VARA?

Why is there not a class for the rich/fast/latest greatest, and another class for...

I think my current estimates show an honest $13k in an 86, all up with a GSXR1000R and LSD in it (after selling stuff and fabricating as much as possible by myself, and of course, a ton of help from...

Hey, I agree with Charlie too.
If you already have one and it works for you, heck, I say run with it.

It's the people who are getting into this from somewhere else that think about this the...

F1000? simple.

a) I already come from Solo Vee, with a 105HP 1600 motor, free rims and tires (and so use FC spec rims and tires on my Vee anyway).

b) a decent refresh on the Pinto costs $3500....

Well for me it's not quite the "cheap" that does it for me in F1000, I have a kart and a Vee for that. It's what Economaki has been saying for a long time. Racing used to be, like most things, build...

Call me crazy but I'm going to do an RF86 into a GSXR powered F1000 by mid 2007-ish. I'm taking the "bring life back to older cars" literally, and have been in contact with a few members from this...

Hear hear.
Maybe one day I can give an older RF a kick in the pants too!
In the meantime, this, for me, is what racing is about. Tinkering -- ahem, car design --is a heck of a lot of fun!

Funny, I thought it was the car and the person in it and behind it too.

Sure, a mere $35,000 for a roller and you too can win a race. Or two. Until somebody notices a niche market opening up and ups the ante again.

Is everything only professional at the Continental...

Apparently the new WF1 is a sports racer. Lee's not built an open wheel car since 1999, I believe.

Congrats to all involved. I just checked out the Fast Track and was very impressed. I think I'll be joining you from the bottom (older) end of the FC conversions in the mid future.
Well done all!
