The is already a spec formula car class and it is certainly not affordable
even though it is popular. The enticing thing about F500 is that its sort of
open where I can work on it myself. And for a formula car class it is low
cost. The cost of racing these cars is not low cost however. Long travel
distances, lodging costs, high entry fees, and no pay back. It costs far
more to race in a low cost SCCA race than a low cost series such as mini
sprints.

Not at all, the legends are very cost effective. Being that they are a
spec series with sealed motors, there's a fixed price on everything. 600
racing, does big purchases on everything, and actually passes on the price
break to the racer. If they only had a modern looking body.....

John,
My take is that $20,000 formula cars became
$50,000 formula cars, didn't follow the whole
sordid process as it festered to completion.
