Radical Information website
As some of you know one of the things I have enjoyed most about owning Radical racecars is sharing the experience with others and helping people transition into Radical ownership. A while ago I started keeping track of the Radicals that are for sale so that I could point people to good cars to purchase…This grew into a listing of cars by serial number which has been very helpful to me and people looking for cars. For example, it is fairly common for sellers to claim a car is a different year than it really is. When looking at the list it is much more obvious when someone claims a certain Chassis number car is a 2010, but all similar chassis numbers are from 2006.
I wanted to find a way for more people to benefit from this information so I just launched a website designed to help people transition to Radical ownership. The website has a Registry section where you can look up cars by Chassis serial number and it includes pictures and information about the car. There is a “Radical Forum” section where people can discuss and ask questions about Radicals. There is a “Radicals For Sale section” where people can list their cars for sale. And there is a Resource library (still under construction) where there will be new and historical brochures on the cars, Order sheet examples, and Owners and Mechanics manuals.
The website can be reached through two URL’s: www.RadicalSportscarRegistry.com, and www.RadicalsForSale.com. Please stop by and check it out and become a part of what I hope will grow into a worldwide community.

Any Radical owners please add your car to the Registry. Having your car documented could help you when you sell it in the future. Also if you are selling a Radical, for sale adds are Free.
Thanks,
Charley

Nothing compares to a purposely built race car like the radical. Which model do you own? Are you familiar with https://teamstradale.com the owner is my driving coach. I'll point him to your new site and hopefully he passes along to the many radical drivers at ABCC.

. I had an SR3 for many years, but recently sold it. Yes I know Francesco, in fact I talked with him today. But, please do bring it up with him... it always helps to have him hear about it from one of his customers.

We owned and raced a Prosport, and a Sr-3. Both Built Hayabusa’s , big fun with 240 hp in a 1100 lb car. Last race for me was at SCCA Nationals at Laguna Seca. Racing at Laguna Seca spanning over 5 decades. One track record, one serious crash, many great finish positions. Loved both Radicals, great cars.

Hey Charley, I don't want to turn this in to a rehash of the Radical forum but what do consumable costs look like for Radicals? Tires, brake, fuel, rebuild times and costs? I have to admit that I love tracking stock Corvettes with a warranty but the consumable costs are through the roof with the C7 ZR1. I might try to rent a couple sessions in one next time I'm at VIR. I see there's one for sale not too far from me either.

I is fantastic Charlie got the radical website up and running. We need to take this discussion and some on other boards to the radical website to give the radical website a jump start.

Yeah, I assumed it had been around forever and was going to be a lot to wade through. I'll post over there.

Nope, the couple of events I've been at were at VIR and folks we either rented the car for the day or splitting it. You go out in normal sessions and run with the rest of the group. Somewhere I have footage of one of them pirouetting off track braking for T1.

Charley;
Thank you for the links and websight.
The owners and mechanics book links are fantastic.
Keep thinking about a Radical, almost bought one twice.
Gone from the C6 to C6Z to Miata to ????

If anyone is interested in a real adrenaline rush.... a guy contacted me and is willing to sell two of his SR8’s for $40k each. This is $25k below market value but he just needs to dump them. This is the best deal I have seen in a long time. They are monsters, with ~440 hp in a 1300 pound car that has 1700 pounds of downforce!
