It was alot of fun, a helped a friend of mine as crew for his F2000. Wow, i thought I was going fast, they were all running near 1:55 laps on the full course at WGI near 100mph average.

But the F2000 is expensive! The SRF is a nice cost point to start with I think.

And now that its the off-season, I am trying to find other things to do. I have one track day at Lime Rock on 11/12 that I am going to. Maybe I can find something down south in Jan or Feb to do....I gotta keep my practice up.

And of course...now I am rebuilding the engine in the Cobra because I spun a rod bearing!!! In august at NJMP lightning, i picked up a knock. Patched it back together with bubble gum and emery cloth, got two autocrosses and 300 miles out of it and then it started knocking again.

Weird...its the #1 rod, first oil pressure point. I've have a thread running about this on 460forum.com.

I should have the engine back together within a week or so and I am thinking of doing a dry sump on it. I was having alot of oil pressure swings at NJMP and elevated oil temperature.

Oh well - you play - you pay someone told me :O
