Hi, I SCCA TT a FFR Roadster but it will never race-no cage. I'm living in Detroit and leaving for Daytona Jan for 6 months and the Cobra will stay there. I really want to race and keep the Cobra so I'm exploring F500. I know the class will race in the Championship 2022 and that is my goal. I kart a vintage invader 125, drove the Cobra 2019-21 4,000 miles on 14 tracks in 9 States.
I share this for you to know I'm serious but have no knowledge of F500, maybe expect it to handle like a kart. How did you arrive at the price? I saw the Championship F500 listed with trailer ect. SOLD, do you remember what the price was and how it compared?
I need to pay for maintenance until I can perform F500 mechanics 101. For the Cobra I change oil, check nuts and bolts, changed belt, replace fluids, radiator hose clamp, fuel pump, replaced valve cover gaskets, changed side pipe, tires, clean rubber off tires with heat gun and putty knife, change fuses, installed 2nd roll bar and battery. Cobra is cared for by
www.rmmotorsports.com (Detroit). I need to check with SCCA-CSR Duane Neyer, Ormand Beach (Daytona) for F500 maintenance.
Are you the original owner?
Do any SCCA CSRs know your F500?
Please elaborate on engine condition, gear box, maintenance due next, how to shift gears, competitiveness in your region?"
Thanks,
