Did some research on 600cc maintenance cost. 600cc midget racing here in Pa/DE/NJ is big. Kaw, Yam, and Hon engines stock engines/clutch/cab'd or FI, open air intake and exhaust. Fuel is optional gas or alky.
1. Stock rebuilds range from $1200 to $1750 depending on how many new parts are needed. 2. Pipes around $460 w/muffler for 95 db track rules. 3. Appears as if older (?) Kaw motors are easy to find and less expensive. New motors are faster (better factory porting) harder to find find and much more costly. 4. Apparently dyno generated valve adjustments settings are a big tuning component. Cost is approx $500 just to have this done with no dyno time! After seeing these prices I quite looking for prices on clutch rebuilds. I suspect a 600cc car will cost considerably more to build with a new/used (?) engine and cost more to race. OK Chris R, what say you? Louie Schultz Philly Region PS Noticed other interesting facts. Huge fields. Four car maker in PA alone. A complete 600cc midget with options is priced much lower then new F500 cars ie big market. Also Linda's Speedway, somewhere around Harrisburg, runs a $10K to win race for this class...yea baby! ________________________________ 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! ***
