OK, me and the wife are pre-registered.

And no Les, I'm not letting her drive the Mustang!

That's a shame, it will be cool to see Sonya back out turning a wheel in anger though, glad you guys are coming out.

The Fmod was at Triads event last sunday. It is a nice little car, makes me think bad ideas!!!

IIRC, that Fmod car is a snowbile-powered formula Vee, right? I understand they are crazy loud but pretty fun.

It will do nothing but enhance my desire to run Cmod in a Formula F car, or BMod for that matter...pardon me while I surf racingjunk.com.....

Don't Formula Vee's have VW boxers in them?

Yup...got it confused with Formula 500, apparently. Obviously, I'm no expert.... :roll:

I thought you were going to get a CM FF? I saw one with the 1.5L Honda Fit swap in it for 13k

. The swap from Kent->L15 is almost a $10k swap

Where did you see that? Last one I saw on apexspeed and racingjunk that was a Fit conversion was offered for $26k. Well-maintained Kent-powered ones seem to be in the low-mid teens, maybe more if it's got a trsailer and a big spares package (or the owner just recently dumped a big wad of $$$ and now has to sell). There's a nice one in NJ that's Kent powered and about 13k on race-cars.com.... If there's a Fit-swapped FF out there for $13k, it must be a misprint, wrecked or FUBAR'ed in some other way. The Fit conversion kit alone is 12-13k, depending on which chassis (Swift, VD) one is using. Some people claim there's $7-9k cars out there, but I haven't seen one that is less than 1000 miles away. Granted I've been looking casually for only a month, and it might change in the off-season, so I've still got some time to save up.

That decreasing 7 coner last weekend was a workout, but fun and you definitely couldn't get behind or you were doomed. I think that's where most of my destruction was.

Yes, more of that, please! That was awesome.

Wow! Sorry to hear that.

JamesShort · **Posted:** Sun Aug 21, 2011 8:56 pm

Ryan, is there enough V-tak juice in it?

I had a lot of fun today. Miata with decent suspension on R comps is FUN. I still need to learn this mess where the rear wheels spin instead of the front, but I think I'll get there

.

Great course Jeremy/John.
