Hey guys, thanks for the input, Doug Gill at SCCA solo, basically said the same thing. The performance disadvantage isn't really an issue, I wouldn't mind getting smoked, as long as I could run the car and shake it down. I was looking at the NE region and they run Englishtown NJ, wich is an hour or less for me, SWEET!!!

A top notch B mod car should be about 3 seconds faster on a 45 second course than the fastest FM or CM cars (F500 or FF1600). A top notch Amod car would be about another 3 seconds faster than that. I suppose that you could run in Bmod just as readily if no one bothers with scales. Call your car an FS. FS isn't classed elsewhere in Solo presently and should probably be able to run in BM since that is where all unclassed GCR cars go (FS is 750# w/out driver). FS has unlimited wing and unlimited motor. With no downforce, a 600cc MC powered KBS V will probably be about as fast, or more likely, a little bit slower than a 440cc or 500cc 2-stroke KBS in FM. I ran against a guy in CA with such a car and even with one of the top F125 Kart drivers in the country piloting it, it was a tad slower than my Kaw powered F500. It had well developed suspension (IRS) with coilovers and his total weight was about the same as mine. This was at a 2 day practice event on concrete at El Toro in 2002 and they both had plenty of runs. They didn't have any wings at all, so that hurt their performance , I'm sure.
