    History, Features, Specs and Options

    From the seller:

    "I’ve often been told by long-time FF drivers that they miss their Swift DB-1. It is a great, forgiving, fun and fast racer, especially with the Honda Swift engine. This Swift has evolved at the hands of its devoted owners, including top National competitors, over its lifetime. It is comprised of the best components available at the time and has been meticulously maintained.

    This car has 7 Runoff Appearances (Kolthoff (5), Forrer, Palacio), and has been driven gently by me since 2008. The previous owner and I have run primarily Mid-Atlantic and Right Coast series races. All SCCA log books exist."

    Default Time to Race a DB-1

    The race tracks are reopening now. It's time to race!

    Here are a couple more pictures of my DB-1 that I took last winter. You can see the AIM dash, GPS, shift knob, fire handle, brake adjustment knob, and rear swaybar adjustment in the cockpit picture. The front end picture shows the internals up there. Note the rear transport wheels, too.

    Please contact me with any questions!
