I actually would have to agree with Chris here, i got out of f500 simply because i hated getting to a race and flipping a coin weather or not the motor would fire.
My experience first year: For every minute the car actually ran I spent roughly ten hours diagnosing/fixing. I spent literally hundreds of hours wrenching on the car. I personally did not accumulate one full hour total seat time throughout the year.Granted, most of this crap had to do with my complete ignorance regarding 2 cycles.
Fortunately, I didn't have much else to do, but I can easily where someone would take a grenade, blow the car to hell, and give up on racing all together. Lord knows I was tempted. On more than one occasion I was left standing at an event seething with rage over yet another botched effort.
In any event, if the POS doesn't work this year, there will be a 600cc bike engine in it before the season is finished. Count on it.
