On the topic of karts. When your hiney finally reaches the seat, are you in
that thing or on it? No roll bar, no belts, and no crush box.
No thanks.

If you look at the classes in Europe, they have several bike motor formula
classes, and they prove to be the most successful. There's a 750 class, a
1 liter and I think a 1200. I believe even a Junior 600 class.
As far as a threat, guys are spending close to $20k on a superkart
that's light years faster than a F500 that costs about the same. Ok it's
twice that for a Stohr creation, but it has to be crazy fast!!!

It may not be a threat to F5, but may be a savior for formula racing in
the end. Honestly, I find this an interesting class. I like FF/FC cars but
have great issues with engine cost/availability as the class exists today.
As formula cars interests grow in general, so does F5 (at least I would
hope).

OK... with all the discussion about costs and car counts and the threat
of F1000 taking over, I just had to share this:
Stohr Cars Announces F1000 Car
________________________________________________________________
Lee Stohr Cars LLC is building a new motorcycle-engined Formula
1000 / FS class car. This new open wheel race car marks Stohrs
return to it's roots as a top competitor in the Formula Ford
class. Stohr Cars have won 4 straight SCCA National
Championships in bike-powered D Sports Racing. This combination
of experience makes us well placed to take the lead in Formula
1000. Our F1000 racing cars come standard with many of the same
components that make the WF1 the dominate bike-engined sports
racer in America.
The Stohr F1000 will be unveiled at the SCCA Runoffs in Topeka
this fall. The car can run both in the FS class, and it will
meet the newly published SCCA F1000 rules for a steel tube
framed, flat bottom car. See the related SCCA News Release here
- www.scca.com/News/News.asp?Ref=610
Price for the first 10 Stohr F1000 cars will be guaranteed at
$28,995 each. This is a rolling chassis, with Quaife
differential, centerlock wheels, paddle shifter, CNC billet
uprights and 'Stohr Spar'. Visit our web site at www.stohr.com
for more details and progress photos over the next few months.
Deposits are being taken now, please call for more information.

OK... That's $28,995 for a roller. Add tires, engine, dash and bells and
whistles and you're easily looking at $35,000 to get on track.
By the way, Phoenix Race Cars is also planning a F1000 chassis for next
year, targeting "35,000 - $40,000" as a turn-key.
Still think that F1000 is a real threat to F500?
By the way... I'm not ignoring the threads about advertising and
promotion ideas. I'm just busy with work right now. I figured I'd let
you all hash out some ideas.
