Are those ducts over the cylinders custom made? or does someone make them?

[BLS]

Is this a custom design? Or something I just don't recognize?

[Bill Bonow]

Are those ducts over the cylinders custom made?

Yes

Is this a custom design?

Yes

LMI (Lindstrand Motorsports, Inc) is the prep shop referenced

Yes

I spent around 1850 with Lindstrand and over 3000 with Jim Wallschlager @ Veetech in 2010 and bought a new set of hoosiers for about 700...so 5500 in 2010. This is a fast car I think, I am 6'3 and 215 lbs and still have to add 35lbs to just make weight for SCCA FV class of 1025lbs. After Milwaukee last year where I finished second with 1.24 times I weighed 1026 lbs.

[Rick Kean]

the car was registered as a 1990 Sokol Vindicator;

Russian design?

Rick

[Bill Bonow]

Rick,

Ron Sokol may be of Russian heritage, but the car (Sokol Vindicator) was designed and built in Bolingbrook, IL (home of Drew Peterson). Ron is a big dude and the car was built to fit large drivers.

[hysteria]

Well, some might think I'm shallow but this is one of the best looking FV I've ever seen.

It looks fast standing, overall reminds me a bit of a Mygale FF.

Whoever designed this did a good job of building a good looking FV I believe. Nice air box for the carb, same for the cooling scoops as somebody mentioned before.

Would be interesting to see more pictures of the frame.

What is the background of the builder?

[Turbowerks9]

Front and rear brake bias I presume? Current firebottle? Any shots of the cockpit and pedals as well as bare frame? Where West of Chicago is the Vee located? I'm working the Run Offs this year a will more than likely have time to stop by (your schedule of course).

Is car still available? Looking for a FV for eastern region for 2012 season......cash buyer!

[lbacon]

[Bill Bonow]

Larry,

Dan doesn't seem to check in here very often

He lists a phone number of (630) 746-6742 in his ad. A call might be your best bet.

[fstrochmi]

[lawyerbob]

I just e-mailed Dan (on his member contact info in profile) and it sounds like the car is still for sale. I'd call him or e-mail him

[ikester]

Yes, the car is still for sale. Sorry I have been working lots and with my job on the road too much. Best way to reach me is 630-746-6742. I want the car gone, too many toys, not enough time!

Who is selling the roller?

The only thing I see that looks strange is the frame rails look very small I wounder how much is will flex?


Thanks
Mark

[hookedup89]

The yellow roller Ron Sokol has for sale out of Woodridge.here is his contact info
ronsokol@att.net. The Vindicat is a well built car and very strong,I would consider it a piece of art .Not 4 tires,2 frame rails and a jungle gym to hold the body up...WELL built and thought out.
thanks

[Bill Bonow]

hookedup,

are the air ducting molds to the ducts over the cylinders and heads? If so would you have any estimate as to the price for a set of them

[mwihite]

I may be interested but I'm in PA and the distance may be a problem. Any ideas on how I could get the car to PA? I need to look into delivery costs. Looking at two other cars that are closer, but yours is interesting also.

If you want to contact me directly, please e-mail me at mwhitesu77@comcast.net


Thanks.

[ikester]

Car and items for it must go!

[mwihite]

ikester,

Any options for delivery? I'm intested but the distance is the biggest issue, any suggestions.

[ikester]

I can help deliver, but not for the 5000 price.

please call me if your interested and we can work it out.

I got seven calls yesterday...4 from west coast...

sorry guys, not driving to cali

After a bit of a drive through some crappy weather and a bit of a drive back in mostly better weather, I am now the proud owner of this Vindicator.

I had a chance to meet the designer/builder of the car, Ron Sokol, while in Chicago. You will not meet a nicer, more helpful, and more knowledgeable guy. Ron is old-school in all the good ways.

Ron has a brand new Vindicator roller sitting in his garage that would make an awesome car for someone looking to get into FV racing with a brand-new machine at a GREAT price. He has a ton of spares for the cars and has the ability to make anything you'd need for the car at a more than fair price. He has a pic of the car posted earlier in this thread but if I were Ron, I'd start a separate thread for the car. Just sayin'...

Thanks to everyone for all their help and advice. I hope I've been decent enough to everyone that when I start asking a ton of questions and ask for more advice that I'll get an equally good response as the one I've had while shopping for a car. See you at driver's school!
