There are lots of Radicals around. Later ones are better than earlier. Compared to other cars in SCCA, they are too heavy and underpowered to be competitive. Google will tell you lots about them.

Not sure which of the new SR classes they are in. Same story I'm sure. They are good cars, just not amazing. If you want to see something amazing, look at the Ralt or Swift FA that are converted to C or D Sports Racer. |

If you want to see something amazing, look at the Ralt or Swift FA that are converted to C or D Sports Racer. What is interesting is the (used) prices and what you get for that. In my case currently not interested in track work, but one of those would make a great hill climb car and likely autox as well. Softer shocks and A15 Avons and you'd have a pretty quick autox machine. Perfect for venues like the Medford Enduro as well. I like the Ralt or Swift FA cars as well, but clearly a much bigger step. |
