As some of you know Spring Mountain is adding a new 3+ mile track at there facility. They are currently in the process of paving it but I was taken for a ride around the new track (in a Suburban) and...

@rjbender RJ - What I was told is that the standard shipping costs (ocean freight) of $3800 is included in the MSRP of my car. There was not a separate line item of cost on my invoice. The dealer wa...

@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com Car is being shipped air freight. $4000. Attachment : 005.jpg

@jackbaruth, That is a great, and entertaining, write up. I am glad to see that you got the car out on track but sorry to hear about the damage. That is an amazing power you have that causes people ...

A bit of shameless self-promotion but maybe it will amuse some fellow owners. After a long restoration we brought PR6 #003 to the SCCA for its first race! Had some highs and lows. Video included.

Do yall have a spec and/or source for buying replacement rubber insert washers for the GDU top inlet and side level plug? They appears to be same size. I measured 28mm OD x 22mm ID x ~17mm rubber ID...

It seems crazy to me that their part numbers are not stamped on actual clamps. From their catalog: Attachment : image.png So, since my clamps are stamped 89 Oetiker, wonder which one it is for...

What I like about the Radical is how quickly it is able to shed energy in an accident situation. Someone mentioned a spec Miata, which I think is a terrific track car. The lightest car I could find w...

I always enjoy hearing from Phil. He really gives insight into Radical, warts and all.

If your car is shipping via container to any of the California Ports (Long Beach, LA, Oakland), then yes it will have a very long shipping journey. The Panama Canal will have a multi-day waiting peri...

@lunatic Unfortunately Radical Canada did not find a smoking gun. They did replace the blipper and of course the throttle cable. There was nothing wrong with the springs at either end. After some v...
