After some significant soul searching, I've decided to put my 1999 FRC race car up for sale. I live in an apartment in downtown Vancouver and store the car on the trailer near the track, 1.5 hrs away. The logistics behind my lack of personal storage and a garage where I can easily work on it has led me to this decision.
It's had nearly every IP (CACC class, similar to SCCA IT) legal upgrade save exhaust & tune, and has been a great car for me - but the engine needs to be rebuilt. This is a great opportunity for someone who has the space and time to drop a new engine in it.
If you're familiar with the track, my best time at Mission BC is 1:15.081, but that is far from the extent of the cars potential. It's been fast enough to qualify 3rd in a mixed run group, and I've finished 2nd overall several times (and led for more than half a race once - I blame the driver for not winning).
I'm asking $11.5k US for the car with all spares and Hoosier A7s & H20s on Z06 rims, or $13k US for the package and the trailer. The trailer is a 2014 TNT 18' dovetail flat deck with very low miles.
Logbooks for Time Attack and Race, 2016 annual Tech completed.
The car was my daily driver before I started using it for Time Attack for a couple years before converting it to a dedicated track car. Here's what it's had done to it along the way:
Safety equipment:
- 8 pt custom fabricated roll cage 0.120" DOM designed to meet CACC, SCCA, and NASA specs.
- Electrical kill switch wired to main junction box
- Lifeline fire suppression system

Needless to say, I've got a lot of time and money invested in it to get it this far. With a fresh engine, headers/exhaust and a race tune it will be quite a formidable package.
I'm in Vancouver, BC - and could transport the car into the US a ways for the cost of expenses, if a solid deal is in place.
What is the weight of the car? Title or just bill of sale come with it? Process for sale to USA?
Thanks..
The stock weight of the FRC was 3173 lbs (compared to 3118 for the Z06's). Unfortunately, I never had it on scales after stripping it and putting the cage in.
Canada doesn't use 'pink slip' titles, but there is a Provincial registration document that goes with the standard transfer of ownership form with a vehicle sale. I would also prepare a bill of sale to accompany these.
The car wouldn't be registered for street use in the US, so the standard importing process wouldn't apply. I would recommend calling the border crossing you intend to use and see what paperwork they would be looking for.
