    Yup! Definitely! We've got new rear suspension in the works to lower the rear roll center so I can get power down better. Looking forward to being faster everywhere this season!

    That should definitely help, but what are your anti numbers? Running any anti in the rear

    I've never run anti-squat in the rear. For the last 2 years I actually had a very small amount of pro-squat adjusted into the rear. It didn't help enough in putting the power down to be noticeable.

    Who needs an existing great series with terrific priced cars when you can build a new car that doesn't fit into an existing class and start a new series for it to race in.. but is also reasonably priced..

    Jay, unless you are going to build your own car out of recycled parts, there is no way to build a car cheaper than buying one of the many well sorted out used cars that are available.

    Am I missing something?

    There are a few very nice cars advertised on here that there is no way you could build one for the price.

    you may be right. However we do 99% of the labor so our costs are materials and a very few things that we must farm out. The real issue at the moment is we are already committed to this season and the next.

    Default Smokin' Deals

    Six Van Diemens (5 Zetec, 1 Mazda) are top in the classified section right now! Killer deals and all good to great cars.
    I have room in my trailer, if anyone needs help running one.

    Default FRP April 21-22 Road Atlanta date

    April 21-22 is back on the Schedule! After a lot of negotiation, FRP and Road Atlanta management have come to an agreement to reinstate the April weekend.

    And of course, that means the October 2018 Road Atlanta date is no longer there.

    your right Joel, there is no way to build an F2000 at less cost than one of the many good cars available due to the cost of the numerous required parts. However there are several other classes where we can build our own front running car for less than trying to buy a front running car.

    Maybe someday.
