    The Firman West Cars guys (that's us) have their prices listed on their website here:

    http://www.firmanwestcars.com/

    Prices might vary so contact the dealer in your area. We have special deals on cars and rebates on test sessions for our potential customers. I believe other dealers have some deals going as well.

    There is not one single source to buy the Firman car. The US market is divided into sections. We have had several inquries from other parts of the country and always refer them to the dealer in that area.

    The West Coast dealer is Firman West Cars: http://www.firmanwestcars.com/

    The Midwest dealer is http://www.rfrcars.us/ which I believe is McLauglin Motorsports.

    For East Coast sales contact Jon Baytos at (727) 289 7005.

    A full link of contacts can be seen on the Ralph Firman RFR Website here:

    http://www.rfrcars.com/contact/


    Right now we plan on having our 2009 Suzuki engine RFR-009 ready and competing by Portland weekend of August 15 at the latest.

    We look forward to seeing you all at the track then.

    Regards,
    FirmanWest Cars

    No Im just saying I remember Dixon from his FF days and always thought he got around quite well. Once he gets his car sorted (whether it be before or after the Sprints) I think he will be super competitive and in yet another car. Sorry for the confusion.

    No confusion, just wishful thinking!

    Maybe as a group we can apply enough peer pressure to get Brandon to re-register.

    Default Wow

    This is getting better and better!
    F Thou just keeps attracting pretty big talent from other classes.

    Brandon, I know this sounds crazy, but folks have gone to the JS's w/ cars with the same or less testing time on them and have done fairly well. I'm just sayin'...

    Poor Brandon. This is some serious peer pressure. That's a pretty good argument about having the best engine/chassis people assembled in one place to help resolve problems. And, holy smokes, what a great gathering of talent! It would be very hard to place a bet on the winner of the FB race.

    Will there be live timing for us folks unable to make it? How about Twitter (which I have not used yet)?

    Default peer pressure works!

    I'd say 80/20 or better that Brandon makes it to the Sprints. The apexspeed encouragement + my saying "well it was the only event I was really looking forward to this year" seem to have resulted in some reservations in Plymouth, WI.

    The Sprints is THE EVENT every year in SCCA racing! #2 is the ARRC. FB gets to do both in one year.
