Anyone interested in the project as a group? You can pickup the Formula Renaults for about $20-25K complete. There might be a cheaper option for the roller. The Formula Renault also looks very...
We used the West Systems for our undertray and diffuser as well. If you are looking to gel coat the diffuser there is an expoxy resing that actually will work with polyester resins for layup, System...
The formula renault, also used in the US as the Formula TR 2000 series, is probably the closest to meeting the standards and overall dimensions, but all of the cars posted have carbon tubs. So if...
This was supposed to be the new FF2000 for the US series. But there were problems with the backers of the series so it never went any further.

Gary,
Here is John's email address:

I've let him know that you might be interested.
I know that there is a purpose built Speads F1000 that is for sale by John Vanderpool from Colorado. I think it would be somewhere in the $20-25K. Let me know if you would like to speak to him?
It is just there to look like an F1. Based on the size though a camera could be mounted inside. It would require some fiberglass work, but it could be done. We have designed a camera mount that will...
The car looks great. Are you going to provide a standard kit to other FE owners?
Since the car is based on the RM02-06a chassis the undertray and diffuser that I built for my RM02a will work without any further modifications. This also allows current Speads owners to upgrade...
I found these on a UK Racecar site. The manufacturer is listed at www.jkscars.co.uk.

Who built the header for your Suzuki? Also did you develop a new undertray and diffuser for the car?
Pingel has been offering an electronic shift kit for motorcycles for years. We raced with a guy at MMP last weekend that used it on his DSR without any issues. If you don't need the paddle shifter...
The fuel hose came loose from the engine. Also, the fire system didn't work either. Bad luck all the way around.
Even though I don't smoke either, we just liked the look of the Ferrari. Maybe Ferrari will convert over to Coca Cola in the next few years. Unfortunately we're not getting paid the same amount for...
I expect with more seat time at MMP we should be below the 2:57 times that the FC's were running. We were running a stock Suzuki 04' engine. I know the newer Suzuki's are putting out better...
We decided to deck the car out with the new Ferrari livery. If anyone is interested in a similar look for their car to match other F1 teams let me know. We have built up an extensive collection of...
We actually competed with a Stohr DSR this weekend that used the Pingel electronic shifting system without and shifting issues. They have been using the system for quite sometime and have found that...
Bob Schader and Richard Cottrill are in process of installing the engine to get it ready for running. I'm not sure of the schedule to get it on the track yet. Hopefully Bob will be online in the next...
We just finished the National Race weekend at the Miller Motorsports Park. This was the first test of the new Evolution Racing, www.evolutionracing.com, F1000 undertray for our Speads RM02's....
These are the first pictures of the assembled F1000 taken at the Miller Motorsports Park this past weekend.

Hello Richard,
John will be testing at Pueblo if the weather works out. If not, he is racing the R/R at La Junta this coming weekend. Do you plan to run at the R/R at Pueblo later this year? We...
We have delivered the first updated Speads F1000 undertray. Road testing of the improved undertray will take place next week at Pueblo Colorado by John Vanderpool.
...
Lee,
It looks like you have the Aim dash mounted to the steering wheel? Are you having problems getting the old Aim 3 XG dash?
Richard
We have completed the updated undertray and diffuser for the Speads RM. This allows the Speads before 2007 to race in the new F1000 class. We are also working on an additional tunnel that can be...
Richard,
It's great to see all of the new participation going on with the class. I had raced in the FS class last year without a lot of others to race against. I'm glad that this is finally...
Richard:
I also race in the RMD. I raced my RM Speads last year. We have completed the upgraded undertray that allows myself and John Vanderpool to race our Speads in the F1000 class. I think...
These are the first pictures of the new RM07 bodywork. If you have any questions about the scheduled arrival of the cars contact Richard Cottrill at 303.776.8855 or 303.350.6066.

Congrats Sean. Nothing can substitute great driving in the end.
We have completed the new negative mold for the changeable diffuser. The new undertray has been designed to allow for changes to the diffuser depending on the amount of needed tuning for particular...
I think there are 4-5 Speads in the US. I raced in the Rocky Mountain FS class last year. I know that Bob Schader, the importer, is bringing in 3 new RM's late March early April. I haven't seen the...
We have almost completed the new undertray that is required to make the previous Speads RM chassis compliant with the new F1000 rules.
...
Doug,
In the future if you have additional IT hosting needs let me know. I run the operations of a large IT hosting and managed services company - CH2M Hill Managed Services. I would pass on the...
Do you know the model year of the GSXR engine?
By the way Sean, thanks for any input you might have.
Do you know what version of the Pingle you were using and what model of engine you had installed? Did you also have the downshift module as well?
We have not finalized pricing for the parts just yet. But it should be in the $2000 to $2500 range depending on the options chosen for upshift and dowshift. The Aim mount excluding the Momo steering...
We created them to work with the Pingel electric shifter kit. We've added the clutchless downshift capability to the original kit. Everything is machined out of 6061 aluminum. We have also fitted...
We have been refining the kit for sometime. I think it is finally ready to display and start to provide additional information if anyone has any questions. We have made the attempt to provide a cost...
Matt,
Does the front of the undertray provide a splitter for additional downforce on the front?
Thanks
Richard
