Nights are shorter and the days are longer. Spring is coming and so is racing season.
We had the 24hrs of Daytona that woke us from our winters hibernation and this weekend the 12hrs of Sebring...

Spring is here which means the Jefferson 500 is just around the corner. Join us for another fabulous weekend of FFCS racing and fun. Registration is now open for one of the best events of the...

Are you ready? The last points earning race of the season at Watkins Glen International is just around the corner. Have you registered yet? If not, now is the time to do so. Early Registration ends...

Well, I guess it has to happen, the almost last race...

Once again, the FFCS is returning to VIR. This is a fantastic track seemingly made just for Formula Fords. :greenflag: :greenflag:

Thanks, are they anything to do with "Fox Racing Developments" ?

Fox seems to be claiming they are the equivalent of modern day Lola.

Wow, thanks loads !!!

I had googled the same but without the "enamel" and got nuttin.

I have already placed my order, thanks again as I was so disappointed when I looked down and saw that empty...

Raced at the Historic's at LRP this past weekend. Came in after one of my sessions and, ......poof....., emblem gone...

Thankfully, with vaccines, social distancing and level headed behavior, our lives are finally emerging from this Covid Cocoon of 2020.

The FFCS now has three great races in the books with three...

I like Thompson now even more than I did the last time, which was my first time. In the past, we've all used the term "pitch and pray" when we are driving at that upper limit. For Thompson, for me...

I know in our virtual FFCS drivers meetings, we are constantly telling you "Don't be that guy !!" well, now we DO want you to be him ( only different..).

We want a couple more Formula Fords to...

Soon to arrive at a track near...or not so near you is RACING! The FFCS has a full schedule on tap for 2021 and although we, like everyone else, will be watching and still dealing with the Covid...

Last know location was at Tivvy's in Vermont. Rumor has it, it went out west somewhere but who knows.
...

Actually, we needed a new base for our fire pit when we go camping. This will be marginally lighter but much better looking than cinder blocks.
I am also thinking since the other three are about the...

Thanks,
I've thought about the "welding repair" route.

Strip all powder coating off wheel.
Crack check entire wheel in case something else is happening someplace else.
Weld repair. (Additional...

I have set my car up two ways.
One, 13lbs all around, knowing it will go up 2-3 lbs.
And 12lbs-F, 14lbs-R with the same expected results.
15ish lbs, hot, seems to be my best tire wear and temp...

Just before I went out at NJMP, I checked my tire pressures. All was fine until I got to the last wheel, right rear, and found only 4lbs. of pressure.
I swapped out another rear wheel and tire and...

So, the FFCS is again running a championship race at NJMP on the Thunder track on July 26, 27 28 and we have only 14 Formula Ford drivers signed up? How come?

I drove there for the first time last...

You're racing in Historic class with steel wheels and low technology. This is about the most fun you can have with your pants on.....Congratulations on your barn find, I'm sure there will many more...

In the olden days I would smash a hole in the side of the filter with a screw driver large enough to get my tin snipes in and have at it.
Thankfully, it seems modern technology has yet again saved...

I adopted this method of tying down after seeing large race prep shops do it this way to accommodate different width cars in the same trailer....
...

So, the roster for the start of the FFCS 50th Anniversary Championship Tour:

Post Cub Ford: 2
Club Ford: 15
Historic Ford: 12 (Where'd all these guys come from!!!)

Still time to...

I was trying to solve this with a one step solution. After considering all the above suggestions, I combined them all into a very workable solution that can be done in two steps.

First, buy the...

If you google map his house and my house, we are exactly 1/2 mile apart. Google maps says it will take a whole 10 minutes to walk but I will be climbing a whopping 23 feet in elevation! Thanks for...

I did go there looking months ago, but no luck then, perhaps I'll try again.

As I said, I can get 1.5 all day long, I need 1.25 OD, but thanks.

I would have thought this was going to be easy. I was very wrong.
I don't know if I'm asking too much, looking in the wrong places, I just don't know and I'm turning to you guys for any help.

I...

I considered that as well. I am the "artist-type" and the looks of the newer filter on my "olde" historic ford bothered me.
I felt the older K&N was more period correct.
But, as someone else...

But I'm looking to get a couple of complete filters for the upcoming season. So far, I haven't come across extra filters but if I do, I will contact you.

The 50th is shaping up to be a fun year. I put these on my Lola T202 last night...

"Goody" of Crossle fame, took these pics of me towing out to Mid-Ohio for the July Vintage races in 1998. SVRA I think.
This is my Crossle 16F on my open trailer, 10speeds on the roof for huge...

All dead-ends, so I have bought a Pipercross foam filter. Thanks again for all your input.

The first race of the six race Challenge Series will be held at the the Formula Ford friendly VIR circuit, April 5-7th.

What with the Formula Ford 50th here, if K&N had made 100 of these they still would been able to sell 200!!!

I was able to find their website. I clicked on "Automotive" and they have dozens of cars they have worked on from Ferraris to F5000 to Batmobiles, huge fun scrolling through.

I've been going to Lime Rock since I was 9. Now I'm 62. Somewhere I have pics of my first day there, it shows people standing on grass berms at turn 2 watching the race. no tire barriers, no fence,...

So far, my 202 is in good shape. I might consider a spare nose-upper body. Could it somehow fall off the plane as it goes over Connecticut on its way to CA.?
Do these TW people also make the...

Come and join the fun!!!....

3 days, 6 hours, 55 minutes to sign up for huge fun at the Glen. This a shot of the start of one of the many races for FF from last year.

Both with and without commas, I have discovered these Fordsters do not fool around, so either way could be correct......

My brother and I are enjoying the hell out of these VRG events.
I just picked my car up this afternoon from Stonebridge Classics after Mike has finished his magic touch on my gearbox and engine so...

Sorry to hear Chris is stepping aside, but with his expanded tire business, it makes sense.
Joe and I have known and raced with each other since the early 90's. If he and "The Challenge" need some...

Having never run at Thunderbolt before, my brother and I, team "Scuderia Buttrick", were pleased as all hell.
Weather moments notwithstanding, a great event run by the VRG and RFFCS people. Keep...

Thanks for the heads-up, seems they are doing other bits as well.

27 years and only one failure is very reassuring !!
I'm wondering, without the car in-front of me, (the best way of pointlessly wondering...) could some other offset be used and space out the...

I had found a thread started eons ago about this topic but the thread seems to have just petered out...

I was hoping you guys would do something like this !!

Yes, The Jeff was a bust but VRG and Summit Point made absolutely the right call. Conditions were dangerous. Not so much the on-track but more...

My Lola T202 came to me with new body panels fresh out of the mold in white gel-coat. A vinyl stripe was applied for looks.
I drove it one time, with my own number like this to test it out, this is...

We left off with thew helmet masked off and the pearl white shot.
