    Default 2001 Laser Mk2.5

    *** SHE GONE *** That didn't take long. Seller's regret, here we come.

    Looking to upgrade housing situation - looks like the RV and FV don't make the cut...

    Anyway, after all the time and effort I (and, frankly, previous owner) put into it, I'm listing it for sale. I had issue-free weekends at Autobahn, several times at Pitt Race, and Mid-Ohio. Got a P5 at Mid-Ohio in my 2nd ever race weekend, getting the CCS hard charger award for that weekend. Helps to qualify low, lol. Keeps up with the pack in a straight line, needs a faster driver for the twisty bits!!

    I bought the car for 12k with a blown motor. Well, it blew the first time I started it, crankshaft pins sheared. Al Varacins took this motor and another motor I had and assembled the one that's in the car right now. To be clear, this isn't a "Varacins motor" and isn't being sold as such, but Al did assemble it, dyno it, and I've ran it 4 weekends with no problems to speak of.

    I sanded down all bodywork, reinforced thinner areas/cracks with cloth/resin, and applied white paint with red vinyl. I also painted the inside of the body white, because the prior red paint was rubbing off on my white suit. Don't get a white racing suit. IMO the prettiest of all modern Formula Vees. I'm 180lbs and a little over 6' tall and fit pretty well.

    Here's the full build list:

    Chassis Identification Number 49
    Log book Number 18-860
    New Speed Sport Engineering Disk Brakes Package

    New white paint with red vinyl
    Body work is used, but in very good condition. Went through and reinforced stress point with fiberglass before paint. Body worked is also fully painted on the inside
    New Redline Lightweight Transmission oil (For open wheel cars)
    New Royal Purple XPR 10W-40 Racing Oil
    New NGK Spark Plugs

    $12,500. A little room to haggle but I've considered raffling the car off as well. Motivated to sell but not to take a bigger loss than I already have, haha. I'll be pretty flexible with transport. If you're within a 12 hour drive I can meet you halfway. Beyond that and we'd have to work something out.
