fortunately, the Radical truck always has spare starters...I tried to bump start it going backwards while rolling off the track but it was not to be. This is a GSXR1300R so is probably the same Denso starter...super easy to change, not super cheap though :/

There are these moments which you almost miss in life. I got interested in racing when I was 11 years old watching the movie LeMans. So years later, I'm racing my Radical (which is in Gulf colors with the #20) and it's raining etc. I get home and am watching the video and realize, here I am...

We actually ran three configurations over the weekend, that was 13 CW, on Saturday we ran 25CW and sunday 13 CCW. They "work" equally well either way and are very close in lap time: This video was from warmup Friday running the other way. On Saturday I had my video system out of the car...

Actually it was the left front lower A-arm snapping and deranging the tire. The Radical guys didn't have a spare so I had to pack up and go home. Fortunately it happened at a slow part of the track and didn't do too much damage.

A few years back, I was poking around here, calling people and generally doing research about building a GT40 kit based race car for the NASA enduros...eventually I went a different direction but still retain the Gulf paint job. Have a few videos on the web from the in-car camera setup I...

Aparently this forum didn't know Ben Keaton who died along with his passenger a couple of weeks ago in a track day while driving his Carrera GT. Any vehicle on a race track is subject to total destruction at any time and the occupants can be killed or maimed at any time. Pretend this isn't...

Hey, there's Charlie Eddie's Safir car...aparently just before they shipped it to the US. Wonder if he reads the forum.

These are much more fun if you play with them. Here's my response to one I got today: <font color="blue"> Oh I am very sorry to hear of your plight! Of course I would be happy to help. Please call me at (310) 477-6565 as soon as possible and we can arrange everything. Fortunately, I am...

Re: James Dean\'s spooky Porsche 550 Syder some factual information mixed with urban legends propogated by Barris.

Might as well have fun when you're not towing. Capacity is 7500lbs but can't hold much lumber heh.

It beats carrying a port-a-potty with you

Won a 3 hour night enduro with our \"gulf\" Radical About a year ago, I seriously looked into getting a GT40 replica to convert into a race car to do the NASA enduros on the west coast. I talked to CAV and Gordon Levy and GT40NZ but ultimately decided that it wasn't suitable or cost effective...

Is this the car that was at Armorfend in NY that the guy "gave away" for $35k after he got a mechanics lien on it?

sequence numbers have been assigned as of February 4th. FYI.

I have a Radical, not a "replica" but I gave the nod to my favorite 917 while painting it for this season (or Gulf GT40 if you like). clubs Porsche GT3 RSs like baby seals and pulls close to 2.4G cornering. Obstensibly a D-sports car but we are racing it in NASA super-unlimited. 1000cc...

Get to know the class before buying a car, your best bet is to buy one already set up and tweak it rather than build one from scratch. I highly recommend reading the rules. People are running 91s and mid 90s cars for several reasons: Spec Miata rules PDF The normal races are sprint races and...

Raced in the NASA endurance series in an E2 Honda Civic and my advice is by all means research a Spec Miata. SEVERAL things going for it: 1. RWD fun car to drive 2. Can be driven to/from track 3. SCCA and NASA class 4. Upper levels of Spec Miata has pro drivers 5. Can be used in track-days to...

It's amazing what can be done with printing on stickers these days. We work with a printing company that does full-size stickers on vehicles. I used to be a frequent poster but ended up not going the GT40 route...however when I got a used Radical and discovered a "smurf" blue gelcoat under the...

Re: The trip to Knott\'s Berry Farm... Sorry I missed you guys...I actually went down the week before! I had the dates screwed up. I was working a deal for a never finished CAV spaceframe which this guy had a mechanic's lien on from the original USA GT40 and he was asking $25k! while I was...

hehehe Vic...haven't seen an "affordable" GT40 yet. At least by my standards given that you basically have to pay cash for it. Competition doesn't seem to have nudged prices one bit.
