I seem to remember running a regional at Mid Ohio back in the 1990's which had an electric car group. Cars were sponsored by engineering departments of several major universities and needed fork...

Another possibility is Pittrace. If anyone has info on which groups run there and aprox dates let us know.

You bet. What time of years are your Hallet events?

Having a stand alone event is extremely expensive if you have less than 150 entries. Than it is dependent on track rental. Roebling Road has a very reasonable track rent but its location puts iot a...

Mike I greatly value your input. What time of year do you think would be best?
I really do hope some one or some group steps up to organize this event.

The 60th Birthday of FV is coming in 2023 It's not too early to think about a Celebration event. We have had good events starting with the 20th in 1983 every 5 years thru the 50th. The 55th was kind...

No I'm retired from driving the last two years. I guess 58 years was enough for me. I sure missed it with the almost perfect weather at this years runoffs. When I was at Blackhawk this summer and it...

The start finish line was already moved closer to the hill when they moved the Pagoda to the outside of the track. The draft on the last lap from 14 to the line has already been greatly diminished....

No apology necessary. Just pointing you to the FST group for more info.

You would most likely be in the same race group as FV but run as your own class. Check out Formula first here.
https://formulafirst.org Leave this forum to the FV group.

no but in the SCCA formula first allows this and is similar to some of the cars you originally posted . See there forum for mare info.

These are mostly manufactures in foreign countries. Over the years FV in many places in the world have developed their own set of rules. Wile some of these cars may be adaptable to US rules they...

David;
I have never owned a Bobsy but I have twice owned the double deck trailer built by Jerry Mong to haul cars to the 1969 Brundage Cup race at Daytona. that trailer still exists in the hands...

I'm sure this is the car I sold to a Mexican from Guadalajara in the early 80's. Nick Filip was the last owner before that and John Hayden Sr. from Milwaukee before him. Nick still lives in...

Just remember the original D13 used a zero roll rear suspension just with 2 shocks and one push rod instead of 2 pushrods and one shock.

I was in the black Brakeometer(R) #11 FST. I went over a rear tire with my rear wheel and landed straight the was tagged in the rear by someone and turned into the outside wall . I'm fine just a...

Spelling is Nick Fillip, Lives in Bloomingdale,Il Was still there when I got a card from him last xmas.

Penske Shocks can develop shocks for you. Check this out.

Lots of Vintage Vee in your area. Bill Griffith at Bigger Hammer racing is definitely the Go to guy.

As I recall It was around $10,000 U.S The transaction also included lots of spares and driving equipment (suit,shoes helmet etc).I recall his friends called him "Pepe " I realize this is a common...

Look carefully. Zero roll has two shocks. 2nd one is smaller than first. This was the cure to the SCCA rules that said shocks until 1983 when they changed it to shock(s) This zero roll was an...

Looks a lot like the John Hayden Sr.-Nick Filip D-13. I sold it to a banker in Guadalajara in the early 80's Delivered it to Laredo,TX as a roller as the Mexican rules used 1600cc engines made in...

My new job at "Brakeometer" has got me to a lot of short track stock car events. It's a world of racing I never really understood in my 50+ year involvement with FV and SCCA. Every class has a spec...

Most parts look stock formcar. The roll hoop,z bar mount,and pedal assembly look like one off fabrications. Florida built Formcars did have serial numbers that started with the year of manufacture....

Engine gone at BHF. I,m most likely out for MO

I still have 4 new steering racks constructed for Evolution FST cars.

Single class racing is the best. But the only way I know to guarantee that is by having a class that can fully subscribe a race group or at least come close. At one time the GCR gave some classes a...

I can see this happening at several majors if the normal race group is under subscribed. This is the case with the FF,FV group at most majors. I really doubt it would happen at the Runoffs anytime...

Tentative cendiv schedule for 2016 is out. Possible dates for us are;

Blackhawk Farms Oct 24,25. Race is 50 laps/aprox 100 miles. Some classes run sat/others sun. It is sanctioned by the MCSCC.

Still moving. Looks like I'm still out for now. Good news is engine is back in my car.

Brake force has been the bugaboo of leading arm cars for years. I first experienced this on our Mysterian about 1995. We had reinforced the arms on all our leading arm cars since then. We also made U...

Try Essex Parts in NC. They are AP distributors and have a lot of brake parts and knowledge.

The first time I saw lots of pushing was at the 1969 pro FV race at Daytona in 1969. There were large groups of people pushing all around the Tri Oval (pre bus stop days) at times 8 to 10 cars with...

How are you keeping the wheelbase legal?

While I am downsizing and cleaning out files and stuff I came across a document From Joe Hoppen of VWOA written in 1968 saying they could account for 2072 FV cars and Kits built at that time. Must...

Look for a company called Stage 8 Fastners.

I don't know about present suppliers but when I was in business as dre inc. we always took back or exchanged parts that did not fit or were ordered or shipped in error, I know when Jim Schings...

I don't know the story about Summitt Point but since I have gone back to running a FST car at regionals for the last 10 years or so I have seem a huge decline in FV entries. On several weekends the...

I still have about 50 decals and some dre patches. Anyone who would like a few can send me a PM with a P.O. address and I'll mail you a few.

Kinda have a defacto spec tire these days. I don't get to majors anymore but is anybody using anything different than Hoosiers?

Steve Lathrop shipped a few citation chassis over in the late 1980's. With modifications they were quite successful. Andres Serano ran a modified Predator very successfully in both the English and...

DRE was in business from 1969 till 2005 when I sold it to Jim Schings ans SRacing.
We had a superflow flow bench and Stuska dyno and did a lot of development on Carbs for FV. We were Solex dealers...

sent Hoosier an email. They should correct Typo soon

The sanded one is definitely an Autodynamics MkI or II 1964-65. The blue one probably a one off or older car with later bodywork.

I believe Larry Campbell ca still support citations, probably Lasers. Al Varicins should be able to support the earlier Speed Sports he built also.

While this may be true in the sense that they don,t all sell tickets,Tee shirts, and always have convenient concession stands. I find most regions welcome friends and family as long as you make sure...
