Chris, whats the typical HP and, er torque of these 600cc motors?
Brands and models and what would be the best ones?
Are the transmission gears undercut lke all the bigger bikes are now so they
could take a lot of load form a heavier vehicle w/out popping out of gear?
Have these been run in comparable weight and tire vehicles like any circle
track stuff?

Ignorance is bliss!!!! It would cost you less, and you would spend less
time working on the car. Interested now? "If" the class desided to allow
600 bike motors, I would sugest 1st that they be limited to the 600cc
variety, and that they remain stock. OK then, you can buy on ebay, all day
long, used low mileage 600cc bike motors for around $1000, or maybe less,
with all electrical. There's no tuning, no jets, 16,000 mile valve
ajustments. You spin off the oil filter, and change the oil every weekend,
that's it. The most setup would be a gear change. I was thinking about the
expense of converting a car, wasn't the rage some years ago to add a 4 link
to these cars that weren't otherwise equipt? The conversion, would be much
more than that.
Ditto here too, I don't want to marry a car!!!

Hear, hear!
I just started in this f500 thing, so maybe my view doesn't count for much,
but it echoes D. Gill's view. While I like the sounds of many of the
possibilities, ---as a race fan how could I not like the idea of more power
and a gear box--- but cost in money and time are more than I can afford.
Furthermore, I don't want to get mashed up in an on track incident; it
takes
too long to heal and I already have enough health problems. I don't want to
win at all costs. I stick to Solo 2 mainly. At fifty years of age, there is
no future in racing for me. I just like doing it and, win or lose (more
accurately lose or lose 8-)) I have fun where I am. There has to be more
old
people like me that would get into this kind of racing.
