    What is the consensus on some quality, reputable formula car specialists in the Central Forida area? Any information, both good or bad, would be appreciated-

    Thanks-

    I am interested primarily in F3 cars, but if they are experienced with other formula cars, that may be helpful.

    Default you have the best answers already

    Lance,
    James is top notch in every aspect - just 300+ miles away in Miami.
    I see where you were already sent Alan's phone number. As far as the Orlando area, I think he might be the only one.
    What type of services are you looking for?

    Default Area 51

    Ditto the above about James Lee. Not sure what you are looking for but give Don Boughan at Area 51 Motorsports a call at 352 267 0166. He is in Sorrento just NW of Orlando. Or if you can make it to Daytona this weekend for the SCCA Double SARRC event look for him at the big yellow transporter w/ FORD motorsports on the side. He will also be running at the pointy end of the formula car field. He offers trackside services and formula car rentals. Good guy.

    As far as what I am looking for, the list grows longer everyday- I will need a clutch slave replacement in the hewland, some help with manufacturing a seat and head restraints, some spares, tub check, and an overall nut and bolt......so far.

    Default F3 mechanic

    I had a F301 Dallara in Jupiter. Allan Collard did a great job taking care of it.
    His number is 561-909-7149. His buddy in the UK ran a Pro Team in the UK.
    We has a direct line into great setups and where the problems are.

    Good luck,
    Jimmy
