Default My Radical For Sale

I am having trouble posting a classified, so just a quick note here:

I am changing classes from CSR to DSR and am selling my Radical SR-3. This car has an exceptional record. Details at:

Mark,

What does CSR and DSR stand for? What car are you getting for the new class, Mark?

Kim, YZ part deux?

C Sports Racer and D sports racer - SCCA classes. They can be the same car, but different engines and weights. Generally cars built for CSR can not be competitive if converted to D as the weight it too high for DSR. Minimum weight - end of race with driver and gear is in the 1200 lb range for CSR and only 900 lbs for DSR.

I am probably moving to a Stohr and hope to finalize that in the next day or two. When finalized, I can post some info on the new car, options, etc.

Thanks for the information Mark, at least I learn something today hehehe (it's been a slow day)

900lbs including driver and gears? Wow so if I were to weigh 200 lbs (not), then the car should weigh no more than 700 lbs

I just looked at the Stohr. Only one seat.
Are you departing the fabulously glamorous life of DE instruction?

The Stohr should be around 750 lbs without driver, fuel, etc. I can probably hit 950/975 - I don't think anyone actually gets down to 900, but they try. Hmmm - I just read Seabuscuit - I could try those Jockey techniques. LOL

Yes, single seat so I will not be instructing in that car. May still come out and instruct and do some laps, but no passengers I'm afraid.

One other very important feature - Car comes with a brand new front splitter, and I will throw in the infamous bunny splitter for any HWFM member that buys the car.

A friend of mine recently got a Stohr. It is beautiful, and is about the coolest thing to sit in short of an F1 car or an Audi R8. It feels like an F1 car, with the cockpit being so small that at 5'10" and very thin I am still a tight fit. I don't think you will miss the Radical at all once you have the Stohr.

Does your car have a feature similar to DJ's? DJ has this button in his car and when he pushes that button, some parts of the car shoots up to the air to scare other racers... it's a very cool feature

Also I think DJ found out that cupholder (or water bottle holder) is a very important feature to have on Radicals. Do you have that on yours, Mark?

*just kidding*

Scott,
To purchase, I doubt it. To drove it, most certainly.

If anyone is interested in my 993 Race car let me know at greg@gfishman.com as this is what I want.

Mark,

Hmmm. I'm ready to offer my services as a driver. 5' 7" and 145 pounds. Oh wait... you may also want someone fast. Darn it.

Mark, so what are you going to run in the OTC? I doubt you can convince anyone there is a street version of a Stohr. With Mumford kicking *** in the Speed World Challenge, he might not have time to run the OTC next year. If you leave too, Hayashi might have a shot to win it all. We can't have that now, can we?
