I agree that is a good idea. Since you and Rene are on that site all the
time perhaps you can ask them. I thought I saw a comment back in 2005 that
since FV and F500 had their own sites there was no interest in adding them
to the Apexspeed site. You are correct in that it would solve a lot of
problems. Then our guys can see all the same arguments from FF and FC as to
how to save their classes and the cost of their parts. All the bike vs non
bike engined issues etc. The depth of knowledge from the experienced racers
and builders is tremendous. I have learned more from that site and the
SportsRacer site in the past two years then in many years reading and
rereading Carroll Smiths books. It would also be a revelation in comparing
to see just how inexpensive our stuff is. It cost nothing to become a member
and if you wish to contribute you can but you don't have to. You can also
scan the site as I do without signing in sometimes however you won't be able
to see most of the photos and you can't send an email to someone via the
site.

Has anyone thought to ask the ApexSpeed guys if they would offer an F500
section? They recently added an FM section, so they aren't exactly fixated
on any one class. You would have the benefit of being able to track the
on-going issues in other like-minded classes while non-F500 guys could see
that you are a thriving community struggling with the same issues and are
they. If everybody throws in a $10 annual donation the financials would
covered and no one from here would have to go through the steep learning
curve to get a forum up and running. Just a thought. Stan

setup that Apex Speed and Sports Racing have where their forums are
organized by categories. For example on the sports racer site you have
separate groupings for technical, driving, aerodynamics etc. I don't know
what it costs to run such a forum format but I am a $$ contributor to the
Apexspeed site and would entertain contributing to a F500 site if it was on
the forum format. I certainlyu agree that it would be easier for new people
to call up such a site without having to rely on email type operations as
they do now.
