I recall an ad for that car in the British Motorsport magazine about 2002 or so. I may still have it as I have saved quite a few of those from when I had a subscription. I thought it was kind of...

I drove one a few years ago, it had a yamaha FJ 1000 motor and a solid rear axle from a 80's Toyota sedan. It was slow and heavy and hot inside the cockpit. but looked cool and sounded nice. I have...

My Lola T202 was ex-Tony Kester and had a longer wheelbase than stock because the front suspension pick up points were moved forward about 6 inches, the frame was not lengthened.

If IMS was happy with the SVRA, I would think a multi-year SCCA Runoffs contract would be a no-brainer. They should get rid of the slow moto-gp hairpin and use the Indycar GP layout.

Somewhere I have a photo of the shifter knob on this car when Keke drove it. Apparently it was also used to test the sponsors product, I wonder who has the "knob" now?

I would have canceled your order too.

Are SVRA going clockwise like the Indycar GP or counter like the Moto GP? The changes they are making to open up the slow corners should improve the flow but also make top speed critical. I have...

There was a Lola T332 at this years BRIC that sustained similar tub damage on a hit that did not look very big. The front of these cars fold up easily with pedals attached to the bulkhead they are...

Lotus has sued several who have tried to copy the Lotus 49. But to make a F1000 car out of a lotus 49? I would take you to court over that! ha, ha

Most USAC shows are one day events so comparing the cost with a two or three day SCCA event is misleading. Also I have dabbled in USAC midgets and a few dirt sprint events and they are fun as a...

That is great news for the Canadian F3 Series! Lots of cheap F3 cars hit the market, why buy just one? Why rebuild the motors? Just thow it away and get another.

Mr. CF3C, what engine builder in Canada have you been using to rebuild the motors on your cars?

Tucker just bought the West company so does that mean he is going to start selling copies? Any guesses as to what a price would be? I will start saving up now!

F3 cars are absolute jewels and ten years ago I considered selling my Atlantic to finance rentng a Dallara in the USF3 series. That series had backing from VW, a series engine builder(to control...

I do not recall F3 lap times at Mosport but at Putnam on a very cold day with old tires, lap times were right at FC lap record pace with several top drivers having a go. If I had to guess, pro FM or...

The F3 series did run Mosport when that series ran about ten years ago. I knew Paul Dana and he ran one of Antonio Ferrari's Dallara/VW's at Mosport, Paul told me that it was the most fun he ever had...

I was at the spring national in 1982 when Eric set the 1.08 lap record, I am almost certain it was a March 80 that had those semi-ground effect tunnels. The Langs did not have a Ralt until 1984 or...

Do you mean Dale Lang? his son Eric Lang drove that March 80B to a lap record at Summit Point that held for many years.

Scam? You had better be careful about saying that. At least there was an actual car to look at, I have bought air-race cars before, THAT is a scam. Whenever I have sent or recieved a deposit for a...

That is an interesting question Ian. For me going from F2000 to club atlantic was no big deal other than learning about how to use the downforce. The car is loose in T1 in 4th gear with a big lift...

If you want to go really fast for about $125k, how about a mid-90's champ car. This guy www.lolachampcar.com has a couple for sale and the site has a good explanation of how to drive one. He told...

Looks like there is maybe one car in that pile. What do you guys think the good tub is worth? It can't be too much because last time I checked, a Lola T192 complete, was $35-50k, the big money goes...

I am considering putting a George Dean Suzuki in a Brahbam BT29, a REAL FB car! Would that be wrong?

Rick you are torturing me, I have always wanted a real two seat big engine Can-Am car but the idea of being on track with something worth more than my house would be too stressful! I have...

The Lola 530 listed has a 415 cube motor with EFI, not exactly period correct and I hope it has had trans and axles beefed up or someone is going to crash thier 190k "investment". There has been a...

This is an interisting topic. I have been reciently shopping for a fast vintage racer (1970-1990's formula or sportsracer) and have been watching prices of similar cars for the last 20 years of so....

Send your guy to the Andretti experience. A Podiatrist in my rowing team was sent there by his girlfriend and he raved about it. He is telling everyone that he is real Indycar driver now and it is...

I just have to ask now that someone else brought this up, but how can there be a ground-effect 1982 Theodore F5000 car when the last pro F5000 race was held in 1978(Shellsport series?). I saw that...

I have a stupid question, I was chatting with a Lola Indy Lites owner at the BRIC and he casually mentioned that he was thinking of replacing the BuickV-6 with an alloy-block Chevy V-8, he seemed to...

I think Phil Gumpert owned that car at the time and he posts here sometimes. Dave Conti has been working for Sam Schmidt reciently and I believe still has his shop in Pittsboro Indiana. Hope that...

Bill, Try www.vintageracecar.com they have back issues. I think they stopped doing the "Market Guide" feature. I thought the guides were pretty worthless, the prices were way off. They seemed to...

Rick, It was early 2005 when the Boss series first allowed the "modern" Atlantics to run with them. So that year I tried to enter the Boss race at the BRIC at Road America with YOUR car and was...

I hope that no one in thier right mind is considering making the F1000 class a beginners class to attract new drivers. As the rules are written these cars are going to be at or near atlantic lap...

OK, speaking of wheelbase, let me ask this question on design trends of F1000 cars. As a racing consumer and not mechanically inclined, I am considering buying one or two F1000 cars in the near...

Back to the point of the thread, I for one applaud what the SCCA has done with the rules for F1000 and by making it a national class for 07. I think this class will totally revive club formula car...
