Is Formula 1000 FB class for me?
I am looking into a new formula car purchase. My focus has been Formula Continentals FC only because they seem to be more popular in my region here in south east Michigan. But I have not found a FC car I like for sale. If I was to look into a Formula 1000 FB car what race tracks location options would I have? My normal tracks last few years in order of most often has been, Waterford Hills, Gengerman, Grattan, Mid Ohio, Autobahn Club Chicago. But I do not seem to see any FB cars around here, but I could be wrong.
I have no plans to go to higher level racing this is a hobby sport for me to get out on track about max 8 weekends year. I am 50 and this is a hobby not a career to just have fun, and wrench on a cool car. I am coming from 5 years of OTD in a Very well track set up Lotus Elise I just sold, but not to make me look like a total newbie I was running at lap times within tenths of track records of class but new to wheel to wheel racing.
I am a little concern that I seem to find on web searches blown engines or engine fires seem to come up more then a few times with FB DSR searches with the motorcycle engines.
So is FB something I should consider and if so is anyone around my area running FB?
thank you Thomas Copeland
