CF is a regional-only class
At the risk of being repetitious, there is NO single CF rule! CF is whatever the region decides it is--if it chooses to decide! DC region lets almost anything up to 1990 run in CF as long as they run the hard tires (of which there are several to choose). Some regions base CF on production year, others on suspension. The only certainty is that CF is a subset of FF...and sometimes I wonder about that.
It is quite likely that if you take your CF out of region, that you may not be in compliance with some other regions' CF rules. Not a problem, though, as you could still run FF.

Too new for club racing, too old to be competitive or to be re fit with a Honda if someone wanted too.
I have looked at close to a dozen mid and late 80's cars in the past several months and all are fine examples but it is hard to pull the trigger with the uncertainty of how it coud be used.
Some way a home for this stuff needs to found as the prices are being driven down and worse than that, perfectly good cars are sitting when they could be in the hands of people to help grow the sport.
in the beginning Formula Ford cars underwent big developmental changes in a relatively sort period of time....we went from Cortina to Uprated, from treaded to slicks, from outboard to inboard suspension and brakes, from front to rear rads almost overnight YET we all kept racing....the playing field was NOT LEVEL but we had grids across this country where forty to seventy entries were not uncommon
maybe it is the players expectations and attitudes that need to change? there will never be parity in this sport...........i dunno.......maybe touring car weight penalties could be considered?
does one HAVE to be going for the win in order to have FUN? nobody i know gets paid to do this
