A lot of you know that I would very much like to get rid of my latest project (see Marty’s Creation under Track Day Cars in the sportsracer.net forum). I listed it for sale in the LocostUSA forum for $7500 and have had three people interested but nothing has come of it. Following similar items on ebay indicates I could probably auction it next spring for around $5000.
So, here’s my latest scheme. Upgrade it to be P2 legal and sell it for $5000 plus all material costs (labor would be free) necessary for the upgrade. So far, the required upgrades include forward roll hoop braces, an approved fuel cell, a fire system, Formula Continental sized wheels (4 x 100mm lug pattern) and slicks, a transponder and various body and undertray fabrication and mods.
For those of you concerned about the Honda CBR1000RR engine’s absence from the P2 engine table, I have formally requested that the CRB add this engine. If they do approve it, I have no idea what restrictor they will place on it. If they don’t, this whole deal becomes a little less tenable.
So, what do you think? P2 will probably need all the entries it can get. Know anyone that wants a low price entry to the glamour of SCCA Sports Racing? I will probably need a deposit before any further work can begin. I might also be tempted by a single or twin motorcycle project as partial trade.
