Will be watching this! I have a mostly stock AP1 that I was converting to a HPDE toy, but it's been put away for some years due to life happening. When I pick it back up, my thought is to sell the F20 and swap it for a motor that's not irreplaceable.

This is the car! I was at every NASA event this year, a few open lapping events, and some scca events but in a different car.

The f20 is super stout! Only had an upgraded radiator and an oil cooler and never had an issue. I say do the maintenance since it has sat and #sendit

Unfortunately not an option. Out of space already and the wife has her eye on a P-car addition in the next few years. I actually really like the NC platform - the wife not so much.

Heck yea! Looks great. Only done minimal racing the past few years unfortunately. Some Spec Miata with NASA-RM and a few WRL races in M3 and M4 cars.
What sort of times are the TT5 field running at HPR currently?

TT5 record is currently 1:59.xx set by a zhp bmw that is well sorted and a great driver on Hoosiers. I was running about 2 seconds off from that.

I wish there were more people on the forums that had run our local tracks to compare to! Heartland closed after last year though so that one is dead now unless someone buys it and reopens it. Will be starting to run at OIR and the new Hedge Hollow track this season though. I have some locals I can compare times with but have seen relatively few online that have posted times or have discussed driving Heartland. It was a good track ... but may be gone for good

If I remember, I'll update what its like over the season. I know I am being foolishly optimistic but I'd like to not have any hiccups once the race season starts.
