Richard, I'm not suggesting the class go spec, the SCCA has a bad rep for spec formula classes, I was saying that the Legends cars are spec and very affordable. Adding more motors to the class would add another element of creativity to the class... CR

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Reinhardt" To: Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 4:30 PM Subject: RE: [F500] What happened to f1000 > Not at all, the legends are very cost effective.
