It is sad that I had to spend so much over budget on my garage that I cannot afford to add this car to my collection right now! What a smokin' deal!! Gorgeous, well sorted and fast!
Maybe John Harrah would like to buy it and display it in the casino now that racing is back in Vegas..
I let a friend know about this car, and a guy in vintage who has a Lola version already, and another friend that ran Lights from ‘88 through ‘91… only because it IS a great buy IMO.
Can’t believe it hasn’t sold!
Enjoyed meeting you at the Runoffs, Mikey!
Was there not a problem with the front/rear balance with this model March that affected the handling of the car? Chassis could not handle the additional weight of the Buick V-6? Appreciate any insight and thanks, Jerry

One of the things I sold a lot of to the teams were gigantic front sway bars ( 2 1/2 inch diameter, if I remember correctly) and cone shaped blades, in order to reduce the oversteer to something manageable. The problem then was the strength of the mounts in the tub for the bar - they had to be reinforced, but I never saw what they did.
I drove many of this vintage of Indy Lights cars. If you haven't experienced driving a light car with a ton of power, you are living an unfulfilled life. They weren't the ideal race car, but very entertaining and fun to drive once you got a little time in it to understand what you can get away with and how to get the most out of it.https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/att...d=109292&stc=1https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/att...d=109293&stc=1https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/att...d=109294&stc=1
Bob, do you recall if the driver's feet were behind the centerline of the front wheels on the March's? I recall some rules changes in open wheel racing in the 80's to move the pedals back to the centerline due to increasing number of feet & leg injuries. Maybe it's an optical illusion, but the driver position looks really far forward to me.Quote:

I'm 6'3" so about the limit height wise to fit in these. My feet were just at the centerline of the front wheels as I recall with the pedals all the way forward. The problem for me was passing the "broomstick test" as you can see in the pictures I was barely legal. Some cars were worse than others- this was the worst one:https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/att...d=109322&stc=1
I stand corrected- my feet were ahead of the centerline as the owner states.
B Reid, when did you run Lights? I think I know, but…
I have some connected history with the class; Mike Snow was a client and friend I worked with from the early ‘80s in FF through his tenure in Lights — from the early March days through 1991. He had a ton of potential and got several podiums, then ran out of support like so many.
I also had the good fortune to spend a photo day with Greg Moore at PIR in April of 1993, over about ten hours. He had just been granted a CART license a couple days prior, the first ever driver to get one below 18. He broke the Lights record by like 0.8 that first test day, then barely, just barely got it wrong and lost it against the wall. I took my required sponsor photos without showing the ends of the damaged car, and I drove he and his dad Ric to the airport.
Bittersweet as all that was, later, he was a wonderful kid, and Indy Lights a great series over a wonderful period.
And I again say, I can’f believe this car hasn’t sold.
I ran Indy lights cars from 1991 to 1996. The first few years were doing 3-4 races a year with a variety of teams when I could scrape up the money. Started with Alister McNeil, the green and yellow car and the white one were his. I ran some with Phil Creighton in the yellow car which was a very good one. Did one or two events in the #33 car, Tony George's old car. Then ran with Brian Murphy in one of Mark Smith's old cars. I then was able to put together enough sponsors to run a Lola with Doug Shierson and then with Derek Walker.
It was a great series then, big fields, big budgets, some teams had T cars and tested 60+ days. You were competing against the best there was and you better have your stuff together or you had no shot at being competitive. Greg Moore was the most talented driver I have ever competed against. He was so far ahead of everyone else in '95. Tragic loss for the sport when we lost him.
40k ????
sooner or later the time curve of trying to get construction completed on my new garage versus the asking price curve for this car are going to intersect!!! If garage was done I'd buy this car today!
The curve straightens out here and From here I’ll just put in storage
Bump
Wife is up my ass could use some help.
You'll get used to it over time.Quote:

Dang, wish I had more available funds at this time. Could only offer $30k immediately. I'm trying to help out.
Only offers of $40,000 and up will be considered. This is a beautiful and fresh race car with cool history and is very correct. Performance/value for the dollar is ridiculous. The car is track ready and needs nothing.
If something happens to change in the near future, I'm a buyer at $35k. Can wire funds immediately. Thank you.Quote:

Thank you very much for pointing this out, greatly appreciated. Thank you.
It’s getting so sad this car has no buyer at this price. I made four inroads in my circle, just to bring it to the right buyer out of my history and passions with Lights, but the timing just wasn’t right for any.
If I’m the seller, I’d be getting short — and maybe keep it for more great days.
It really is an awesome car and really is ready to run. Having been working through getting my own Indy Lights powered F3000 ready to run I can attest to the value being offered on this March! Would take double the asking price to get any other car to the level Shawn’s car is already at.
Somebody is going to be VERY happy with it.
@ Team Mikey…
Just Do It. ;)
I am utterly floored that hasn't sold at this price........this is an insane deal.
45k this week and then 50k next.
Reverse psychology, I like that, something’s gotta work!
I have corrected for the reasons(room mainly) which caused me to want to sell the March.Quote:

acceptable to me.
I now have a profound, inspired vision… us towing the March behind our Westfalia, just so you have more room.
When the inevitable “How fast does it go?” comes up, I’ll just say “With the race car, she’ll do about 50.”
Sorry for the humor, especially during the holidays. ;-)
Well if space was your only issue I would gladly store it for free here next to the Lola.
Me as well, next to my Indy cars. :-)
Living room.
I’m not at all convinced the car is large enough to live in.
50k :revs: :greenflag:
