Hard to watch that last part..glad everyone was unharmed.
At Stohr Cars we are very excited for 2014. As you may know we developed many new parts for our F1000 car last year. With Lucian Pancea driving, we captured the West Coast Championship for the second...
No disrespect Steve, bot since 2007 we have sold thirty six FB cars. We have also sold forty three sports racers. Of all the cars we have sold, only one was in kit form and that was a retired racer...
Good luck everyone! Updates please.
I hope this does not just turn into an attack thread. In my opinion last weekend is done and gone. My only hope is to elicit ideas that will help us enforce the rules we already have in place. I also...
I have been saying this for six years Lawrence and we have outrun everyone before. This is not about Steve Ott whatsoever. It is about the class and the Runoffs. I am not talking about more rules, I...
Thanks Russ, but the first link is for driver protests and the second one has no specifics in it, just saying to talk to the chief steward. We need the whole path out in front of us, step by step. I...
No one is attacking Steve. He his an exceptional driver. We as a group, need to have some form of enforcement for the engine rules we have put in place. The only real options are to either open up...
George has done an amazing job nationally since the start of FB. He cannot continue to spend his own time and money to help police everything. He mentioned to me that he has shown the Runoff's tech...
Ok, so let's say we are over the stigma. Now let's see, we have to find a tech guy from the Utah region that is first willing, and second able to help tear into the 13000 rpm bike motor. Hopefully...
Great to see everyone at the track. Good car count and some great racing! Can't wait to get to RA for the Runoffs.
Wayne
This is great guys, double digits! Going to be a fun weekend. Can't wait to see the new Phoenix car.
Wayne
Thanks for the race reports Thomas. It was great to see everyone at the track. Hopefully we will see you all in Seattle.

Congratulations to JR Osborne and Ted Dale for a great weekend at Laguna! We want to thank you for all the time, money, and especially the determination you invest in racing our cars. We are very...
More positivity for the class, thanks Russ.
How to build a successful pro series, by Nick Belling
I want to congratulate the Stohr team for a great race weekend! JR, Kyle, Lucian, and Dave did an awesome job of working together and getting faster. We had a lot of work to do, but it was more like...
I only know of two cars out of twenty nine F-1000s that were not painted for a time. I think they are all painted now. We have had many cars painted locally that have come out great. The prices have...
Doug, the reason for the finish is because all our parts are oven cured pre-preg epoxy. The use of gel coat is not possible with the oven temps and chemical properties of the epoxy resin systems....
Congratulations to JR for his FB pole and race win last weekend! The race was very wet. Lucian Pancea had a good weekend in his Stohr F1000 finishing second and Rod Rice was third.
Congratulations Bill!
Wayne
hI bill,
They had a hotter motor with, but it only made a few laps in practice.
I forgot to mention, a loose bleeder screw on the bottom of the caliper took them out of the race after two...
Jr's car was just as he raced it at the Runoffs. To comply with FS rules I photo shopped in a lip on the rear wing endplate to make it wider. Same Suzuki engine.
This is the first year JR raced...
I would also like to take a second and thank Kyle Oberndorf and JR Osborn for the great effort at the Runoffs. We would not be racing without these guys.
This year was a blast!
Wayne F
Wow! Those trendy high nose cars look pretty good on speed. JR's whole rear wing assembly got knocked forward five degrees on the first lap incident.
This is a great class to race in. We look...
I have the sheet here from the second race:

Sorry guys,
Rod's guys told me they had some engine difficulties and he was off the pace a little and retired early.
Wayne
Lucian Pancea won the national on Sunday in his new Stohr F1000. Kyle Oberndorf finished second with a new lap record for the no-chicane configuration. JR Osborne retired from the lead on lap 14 with...
This class rocks! No better manufacturers competition.
Wayne
We are happy to see so many manufacturers interested in FB and welcome the competition and challanges. Our new package has spoken for itself on the track and we will continue to develop it over the...
First off, congratulations to Glenn for another Sprints win and to Mark for making it a great race to watch. Niki and his crew did a great job finishing the car and getting it up to speed. John...
Congratulations to Nick Woodman and Autospa for a tremendous weekend. Dude you were wheeling that car! Lots of fun to watch.
Nick won the first race of the weekend from poll. Unfortunately Mark...
Thanks for all the kind words guys. There are many different kinds of racers in the club racing for many different reasons. It has always been our goal to make all our customers happy with their...
It is the opinion of Stohr Cars that the rules clarification as posted in the Fast Track is actually a rule change. The 2007 GCR does not include wing end plates in the dimensional rule for the...
The new price for our F1000 in 2008 will be $39,900. We will continue to offer 2007 pricing until January 1st.
For more information please contact Stohr Cars in Atlanta 678-648-9677 or the Stohr...
Sean,
Our latest count is now twenty one, although all customers do not run SCCA events. There has to be over thirty cars.
Wayne
Ken,
Thanks for the great report. We have developed a new footbox panel that covers the rack and doubles as a foot bed/heal stop. We can make them in either carbon or black e-glass. I can post a...
Special thanks to Larry Vollum and Dave Palmer for letting us (and J.R.) use their car for the ARRC race.
As promised, our Airbox is also available in shiny black E-glass.
Wayne
Just to clarify. The upper half, or air intake, as stated by the GCR, is made entirely of fiberglass. The lower half has one ply of carbon on the outside for cosmetic purposes. We can make the entire...
We can make the same part in black e-glass if someone is worried about compliance, however, the air track is all glass.
Wayne
Stohr Cars and Advanced Racing Composites have developed a new F1 style pressurized airbox assembly for our F1000 and GSXR Suzuki. A WF1 version will be available soon. The airbox portion is oven...
For a limited time Stohr Cars is offering an AIM MyChron3 XG Log dash and data system with the purchase of an F1000 rolling chassis. We are also offering free installation of your dash and gear...
That was what was called a joke. The pictures are from what was called a test. We have plenty of fiberglass parts for SCCA racing. sorry.
Wayne
The trick carbon looking shelf paper on the front wing end plates is an extra cost option. I think it actually adds a little weight.
Wayne Felch
We also picked up 5 mph on the backstretch. The car is really starting to fly. We tested a revised front wing, rear diffuser, and some air box work. We will have a new sealed air box for our test...
When we finish our sealed air box to fit that opening in a couple of weeks we will decide whether to ad TS to the name. Don't tell anyone, but we are also secretly working on the "STS" model for the...
Clark,
Our bobywork comes out of the oven black. We order the pre-preg that way. We have been running our factory car just polished up. As far as the sprocket goes we wanted to leave some of the...
Two more tall scoops leaving the factory.
