Mysterian/Problemchild Race Package

[problemchild]

Serious Racers Only

I am preparing to go back to school in the fall.

Everything is for sale. It is not a fire sale! I will not have the time or resources to continue to race this car at a high level for a few years. I need someone to take over and continue this car's success. The qualified buyer would receive technical support as required.

You can probably buy a new production FST car for the same or less. This is 5 years worth of accumulated parts, development, and speed.

Two Autowerks/Vallis/Rice engines. Dozens of wins, poles, fast laps, and lap records between the two engines. Complete from carb to clutch with every trick or mod available. I don't know which one is better but one has a much more expensive oil pump.
#08 has 4 race weekends since rebuild, with oversized oil pump
#07 is fresh, has regular CB oil pump.
$5K each

Mysterian/Problemchild SM2. 3X Championship Problemchild chassis updated with new Mysterian bodywork. Brand new custom tail to debut at Nelson on June 27. Tail fits with new re-packaged rear suspension that is the most compact assembly in the class. Totally refurbished for the 09 season. Many custom tuning capabilities like:
- cockpit adjustable rear shock compression
- front droop adjusters (jacking screws adjustable through bodywork)
- external double-blade front anti-roll bar (adjusts without bodywork removal)
- double ride-height adjusters
- inboard front double-adjustable Fox shocks
- needle bearing bell-crank mounts on rear suspension
- modified geometry steering spindles
Car comes as raced with nice hardware, Willans belts, quality steering quik-release. etc.
Comes with one set of mounted tires on Superlite wheels.
Complete roller with double-adjustable Fox rear shock, $15K
or complete roller with triple-adjustable Penske/Fox rear shock, $15.5K

Set of Superlite GTR wheels with low-time Hoosiers, $800
Set of hardly-used Hoosier rains on Diamond wheels, $1000
Race prepped beam, 2 adjusters, with springs, $300
Spares package. Steering links, front pushrods, rear trailing arms, rear pushrods, rear suspension pickup mounts, front rocker, front pushrod mounts, oil cooler, $500


I will sell everything listed as a package for $25K or 1 engine package for $21K. I would consider trade-ins of quality FV or FFs for up to $10K. The car will be raced at Nelson Ledges on June 27-28. It can be picked up at the track as raced.

The car is available for arrive-n-drive rentals after that until sold.

We will be at Nelson Ledges this weekend.

Stop by and pick up a Fox40 Whistle!





Now, full rear suspension adjustability without tail removal.

[problemchild]

I am open to selling in other configurations.

I would consider trade-ins of quality FV or FFs for up to $10K.

Check MyLaps results for ARRC or Nelson FST to see how fast this car is on high-speed tracks. The bumps of Nelson are no problem! Not too shabby on other tracks either.

Possible delivery to BlackHawk FST event or 40th FF Party!

Too many race cars. Needs to go!

Arrive-N-Drive rentals for remaining FST events also available.

[problemchild]

The car has been reprepped and is back in the trailer ...... ready for it's next owner.

Some interesting things about the car .....
At Nelson Ledges, we ran at 1.5" ride height front and middle .... about 2 .75" at the rear axle. The spring and shock package is really nice. Many of the cars were more than double the ride height.
While the car only had the lap record for 365 days, it was the rabbit that provided the tow and the motivation for the other 3 lap records set over the past 4 years (as well as Mid-Ohio last year). Certainly a recurring theme ..... as a driver, I also had two NL FV lap records set chasing me, but never held the NL FV record.
The car is in the best and lightest condition it has ever been in. I made several comfort changes over the winter which improved the steering wheel angle and will let drivers with bigger feet drive the car. The oil cooler system was moved behind the driver's head rather than side mounted which improves the aero and won't require protection.
I guess we did the 1.11.7 on about lap 6 of the first session. I don't remember the lap.

If anyone wants more info about the car please contact me at greg13rice-at-hotmail.com. I can forward pics as required.
Thanks!

PS ..... Converted camper/toy hauler trailer also for sale if the new owner needs a trailer.

[problemchild]

Car is ready for Blackhawk. Needs a driver!
Buy or ArriveNDrive rental.

[problemchild]

All trades or trade-ins considered.
Street cars, FF, F500, CF, FM, FC, SRF, SM, ?

Possible delivery almost anywhere .... including CAT National/ 40th FF Party.

[problemchild]

Oops! Missed FV in the potential trade-in list.

[problemchild]

If anyone is interested in discussing a deal that would involve transporting the car to Road America ... or points in between .... or points nearby, I have not finalized plans for this weekend and could bring the car with me.

Thanks!

I just became sick to my stomach and there's nothing I can do. Somebody please buy this car!

[problemchild]

C'mon Kurtis,
It does not have to be all bad.
The same engineering and attention to detail that made this the best FST car could make this a decent F600, F1000, or FIT-powered FF .
Thanks!

Hoosier rains on almost new wheels.


Race prepped beam.


VW BJ beam.

[problemchild]

Everything will be at Mid-Ohio on Labor Day weekend!

Rain tires, wheels, engines, transmissions that can be taken home. Other stuff can be delivered to the Runoffs, picked up, or delivered elsewhere. All trades and offers considered!

Thanks!

I started building this car in September of 04. Debuted at Mid-Ohio on Sept 11, 05 with a 3rd place finish. Since then, 22 wins in 39 races including our last two races at Mid-Ohio in Sept ,09 .... all with a mid-40s obese "never won anything" driver.

This car handles! Corners and straights alike

This Friday (coincidently sept 11) the 5 yr "beating of a dead horse" will come to an end. I have several tire-kickers interested but nothing to keep the car from being parted out. All offers considered. Free delivery between Buffalo and the Runoffs!

Thanks!

Trade for a Lola?

[problemchild]

I'll consider all trades. I need to know the specifics before I can seriously think about anything. What do you have? What comes with it? What do you expect in return? The logistics of the transaction .... particularily if you live in AZ and the car is in Buffalo, etc. Email me with ideas and I we can see if a workable trade is possible.

All I know now is that on 09/11/09 .... I will choose my best option and commit to it.

Thanks!
