Richard, Gil is just talking from personal experience. He had road raced F440's and F500's since 1978 until retiring in the late 90's(Red Devil's and KBS's mostly). I know he has owned at least 9 that I can count. He knows his way around an F500. Between he and I, we have cracked a few frames. Carroll Smiths books are good reading for any racer. -----Original Message----- From: "Richard Schmidt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
