Given your budgetary wishes, put aside the cool look factor. The reality of what you want is to race a safe, full bodied car that doesn't require expensive mods every other outing. Add in a...
Electric race cars have been around for 8 or 9 years now at SCCA events.
It hasn't been much of an issue or a problem....

You should chat with Dave Scaler at Advantage Motorsports in NJ. Dave was one of the original racing data system constructors and a
long time FV racer. He has a prep shop and rents FVees, he is a...
I don’t know why you’d believe that there are too many existing “leagues” to race FV in there is really only one national sanctioning body that allows for racing at various levels of...
In addition to being a consumate "race car driver" Dan Grace is an absolute gentleman on and off the racetrack. He is certainly one of the most enthusiastic and knowledgable FV competitors I've...
Driven my FC there many times, you'll be fine!
Congrats Phil & Phil Jr. For anyone not familiar with Momentum, these are two of the hardest working guys in auto racing today...
I think this thread has about run it's course...
All the disclosure in the world be damed, it's simply immoral to throw a drowning man an anchor....
Pay day money lending to poor folks who you know can't afford to pay you back, it doesn't get much lower than that...
If that is the case then obviously no lessons were learned from Fran-Am or the FE rollout debacle....
Give SCCA Pro has announced a new series and a new car, has an actual Crawford F4 actually been built and tested in the real world?
Sacre bleu, you Americans would not be happy if you were guillotined with a new blade....
:ha:
As Brendan says whole open wheel ladder deal is pretty laughable. How many US drivers have made it to F1 in the past fifty years? The idea of basing a whole sport and industry on a handful is...
I'd pay money to see Roger on the Falkens racing Brian on his choice of any slick made....:)
Get Roger......
What if SCCA or Anderson puts forth a better package? If you really believe what you are saying then why not cancel the order then for your new car and wait and see what else is put forth and then...
Two simple reasons:
If I am a regular participant with series A and race a few weeks before an "A" event with series "B" and crash, the odds are greatly increased I don't make the "A" series...
Previously the series were kept apart by tires simply because people didn't want to have to change setups. There was no real difference in tire saving by going to a radial it simply kept the pro guys...
We have a lot of serious racers already heavily invested in cars and spares.
We had manufacturers step up to the plate in the last few years and produce new cars that seem to work pretty well.
...
Nathan, unless you are referring to south of the border drivers, why would anyone incur the expense of coming to the US to live and or race when the F4 is already available overseas?
Really? How many cars are actually racing in each F4 series across the world? With the exception of Italy the numbers aren't too impressive.
Coop is in the house.... :thumbsup:
Dave Carr is topnotch, he is in Dunnellon, NJ. You can easily reach him through Steve Pastore at Vee Sport in Danbury, Steve does a lot of work with Dave, I'm sure he'll have his number, he will...
Wait the month for Mike, many prep shops are busy right now as the season will start in the northeast soon. Wait for Mike, he knows what he's doing, you won't be sorry....

Call Mike Agnifilo at Stonebridge to sort the car out and for prep work.
He's not that far from you and you won't be sorry.
If it was Wilzig's car, it probably pretty pristine....
Maybe the term beating a dead horse is less confusing...
Anthony you have known me for quite a while and you know I say what's on my mind.
I'm sorry you got beat by Jon and I'd be royally pissed as well were I in your position
I've bought things...
I think it's time for Apex to close this thread down.
Anthony aired his issue and no one here is going to get him any more satisfaction than he or his attorney can. It's a tough pill to swallow...
Phil Picard at Momentum Motorsports as well. He is an advertiser on Apexspeed, and his shop is in Westchester County, NY.
You mean I actually get to sleep in? :)
Mark it's not really a cluster even if it seems that way.
MoHud Region has been running this event for many years and it is usually very well subscribed and a fun event.
Many years ago the New...

The other questions I would pose is why not strengthen an existing class instead of embarking on a whole new venture? For many years in SCCA the number of classes was a source of contention and would...
Stan,
Having run FV for a number of years, I think with increased weight and performance
you may run into some parts reliability issues unless most of the parts are aftermarket
instead of...
Four large frisbees and you have formula car wheel covers, watch the brake overheating though ask me how I know..... :tire:

Enough explanation for me go away...

He also hasn't bull****ted anyone in his 7264 posts.

Tom, you should send your check in today for the new improved F1000 Championship Series Run by Pie in the Sky, maybe Jon will give you an early bird discount, what the hell, just a few shekels...
Tom, excusing bad behavior yada yada because thats the way racing is is a frigging copout and you know it. One of the things that sets racing apart from many other endeavors is trust.
Trust...
Even tough I don't have a dog in this particular hunt, it's guys like this who put a dark mark on racing. It takes a lot of time, money and commitment to buy, maintain and actually race a car. We...
