In response to engine cost comments, I offer this.

We just pulled an engine that had 3500 race miles out of a JDR..

It was running strong....and the engine builder who rebuilt it said all...

Alex Mayer won FA at the runoffs in his JDR F1000.

In case anyone missed it, Alex Mayer won the FA race at the runoffs in his JDR.

Rod Rice was third.

It might have been an all F1000 podium if Seaber hadn't tangled with a spinning Atlantic....

If you are a left foot braker, it is fairly easy to lift on upshifts and blip on downshifts yourself.. If doesn't take long to get good at it....so additional aids are not really needed.

Hey Perry I sent you a private message.
Jerry Hodges.

If you have a formula 1000 car you should seriously consider running the North American formula 1000 championship instead of trying to compete in Formula Atlantic.

You are absolutely right John.

Most FAs are not being driven to their potential at SCCA club events.

Therefore, it is possible to compete with them in a properly prepared and driven F1000. But if Flynn, Dario, or the Grants...

The Plan in NorthAmF1000 is to keep the stock engine rule.

The reasons are many. Mostly to provide a great place to race the cars without having to change anything.....and to keep cost under...

why not use aftermarket titanium valves. they are available at about the same price as stock ones.....and are one piece instead of the two piece like the factory ones.

You got one hell of a deal! Did you get all the spares listed in the add? That would be close steeling it! I do see a complete spare nose/wing assy in the picture.

Welcome to the F1000...

Use Aurora......and use only 4130 or 4340 rod ends. What is called alloy steel is mild steel and not nearly strong enough for rod ends that are highly loaded. Mild steel can be used where stresses...

No plans to do anything this year.

Everyone else........call every FB owner know and encourage and/or help get them to some Majors...

The member advisory in Sept Fastrack interprets stock to mean "all engine part numbers' have to match the year and make of the engine.

Surprise.......THE THROTTLE BODIES DO HAVE AN ENGINE PART...

Your wording using "its" might be better......but the...

The rule says "THE stock throttle body" ......not "A stock throttle body"."

That clearly means the one the engine came with. "THE" can only refer to one thing......it is singular.
