I guess I should get around to introducing myself here! My name is Nick Skaats from Hebron, Ky (about 10 minutes south of Cincinnati). I've been following FFR since I discovered them as a teenager in the mid 1990s. I've been itching to build a car for a long time and finally got around to ordering a Coupe kit yesterday. I wanted to build a roadster, but the Daytona coupe is a road less traveled and fits my style a little better.
I've always been a hobbyist and worked at a local speed shop for several years before they closed down. I started my own company, Skaats Precision Motorsports early this year. We do a little bit of everything performance oriented, but the vast majority of it is LS based engine platforms with some Ford and Mopar mixed in. I've even done some tuning on local FFR cars which really made that itch to build one exponentially worse. I got dragged back into the SCCA world last year after about an 8 year hiatus and decided to go all out building a car with a singular purpose, which is why I decided to go the FFR route. It seemed like a natural fit for lightweight and a great chassis plus the obvious build quality. I'm really looking forward to my first build of hopefully many more in the future!
Enough of my ramblings, do we have any other FFR guys in the Greater Cincinnati area?
