if we ever have a shock in F500 it will have to be a spec shock. The club now has their own shock checking equipment including a dyno. To me the only issue is cost & if we can make it the same cost as doing function rubber suspension then we should consider it.

A inexpensive oil/spring shock is about the same price or less that the current puck/shock assemble. And ANY oil dampened shock would be better than none. OK, I'm just a newbie here that doesn't even have an F500 yet, but I'll throw in my $0.000002 just because this gets at _why_ I'm a newbie here. I'm coming from stock class autox to F500/club racing, and I have to say that the 2nd* most frustrating thing about running stock class autox is the price of the shocks you need to be competitive: about $3500. Thats why I co-drove at Nationals, rather than take my own car. If any shock rule is going to get proposed, they've _got_ to do better than they have for the solo2 stock rules. -Chris * #1 most frustrating is that you need a new car every 2-3 years. :P ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
