Great cover article this month in FCM about F1000. Some impressions:
1. Great coverage for Jay Novak and the conversion he is developing for
older FC's. I don't subscribe to Apex Speed or any other racing forums (except
F500), so I wasn't aware that Jay was so heavily involved. Retirement must be
a wonderful thing!
2. It really is too bad that a class that was created to allow older FCs to
get out of the garage and be competitvie again has so quickly evolved into
another $50k+ class.
3. I thought it was interesting that the article said the expected operating
costs in F1000 would be approx. equal to FC. I thought the common wisdom is
that the MC engine would lower operating costs.
4. Even though the "stock" 1,000cc motors are plentiful in salvage yards,
there are already $5-7k pro-built motors showing up. The author goes on to
speculate that everyone at the Runoffs will need to have a pro-built motor to
be competitive. I think this has significant relevance to the current 600cc
motor debate going on in F500.
