    Price Drop. $24,000

    Really don't want to sell this car, but times are tough and the car needs a new home. Otherwise, I would keep it.

    Also, car has a brand new diffuser by Mike Devins.

    This car is an unbelievable deal. You could not possibly put one together for less $$. Ask Glenn Cooper how good this conversion is.

    Thanks ... Jay Novak

    Hector, come race with us at SWMS in Albuquerque.

    Come join us for Open Track days at Arroyo Seco.

    We miss you on the track with us.

    The economy is in another slowing downtrend, so money may be tight selling race cars and finding buyers.

    Enjoy it while you can. Enjoy the fruits of your hard labor on the conversion.

    Start your engine and come on out.

    I guess I messed that up! Sorry for thread hijack, but the car advertised here for $20K sure seems a good deal.

    YOU should add it to your expanding formula car collection.

    Yes, the car is still available. I wonder if it's the color scheme...should I paint it?

    Default Keep the paint

    Better yet-

    Don't sell it. Race it a couple times a year, and raise the price. If nobody wants to pay you what it's worth, then don't sell it!

    I think 20k for that car is a steal!

    I can tell you my Novak conversion is not for sale. Through unemployment and hard times, I sold everything else and was able to hold on to the car.

    However, I would consider an offer for something north of 30k. Remember, the VD chassis with Jay's conversion is still one of the fastest cars in FB in the right hands.

    Ask Coop.

    Default CAR SOLD!!!!! Going FB

    Car sold! Thank you Apex Speed!

    The car is going to be driven by Juan Marchand and co-owner Robert Moriarty.

    The car is going to GingerMan Raceway and will be seen in action as we further develop Novak F1000 platform and me as a driver.

    F1000 is the reasonable progression for me, its exciting and I'm motivated to be a newbie again

    OK, just wanted to say hello to all the teams, drivers, manufacturers and all those involved in making this class premiere.

    regards

    Juan Marchand

    Hey guys, thanks so much. Looking at moving the car from EL Paso to Michigan, or somewhere closer to MI. Need to sort this out and maybe I can do some sessions before the cold cold stays for a while.


    cool
