No I don’t think it’s a Merlyn MK-025. There is several deatails in each picture that isn’t correct. But it’s real close!

Anyone know what happened and if everyone is OK from the Indy SVRA Sunday race start? Must have been 6-8 cars involved.
Thanks Wes
Hi All,
I'm looking for the baby blue paint code for the AAR Jorgensen Eagle?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Depends on your purpose. Go with the bilstens to keep it oringinal or put on penske 8100 and pick up several seconds a lap and feel like a super hero!

Thanks for the reply's. My eagle project is finally taking shape! I want to have it finished for all the 50th races next year. I have talked to Lee Grimes. He's a good friend,so will probably go with...
What's the preferred shock for vintage club ford in SVRA? I'm guessing no canisters.
Thanks Wes
Hi All,
I know it's not a formula car. But a friend asked me where to buy engine parts for a Sunbeam Alpine? It's a 1967 1725cc that has been in his family since new. His Dad actually raced it with...
OK, I'm dragged into this! Rules, rules, rules! Vintage is about the cars and spirit of racing.Your not supposed to drive 110% anyway!?! Formula Ford has been one of the most popular open wheel...
I would love to run this event. I have an Eagle formula Ford that I would have to finish the restoration on. However, would I have to run the treaded tires? I think a Club Ford should be able to run...
Hey Dave, you'll see me next weekend at Mid Ohio. We're bringing the new Piper Honda up for more chassis development work. Plus we need more time on the engine to break it in better. I'm looking at...
Hi don't know much about the vintage race groups. What series are friendly to Club Fords on the east coast? Hi have a Merlyn Mk-025 and an Eagle club ford. I would rather run slicks than the threaded...

Great fabricator, who do you use for polished nickel plating?
Good luck with your new business addition. Will you be selling the bead seat kits? Hope I don't need any body parts for a while!

Good cars,parts hard to find. Talk with Neil Porter he should know more.
Good Luck
Maybe it's time to consider real racing tires???

I might be biased,I own a Merlyn MK-025 it's a great car with fantastic mechanical grip. Check out <www.merlyncars.com> Clive Hayward is still active making spares to support the many cars they...
Good Day! Actually I would choose the Merlyn 11,17 or 20. Better than the Lola, more cockpit room than the Lotus.

I'm rebuilding a Eagle Formula Ford. I want to race it in the SCCA as well as some Vintage clubs.
Several questions.
1.I'm in Kentucky. What Series would you recommend on this side of the country?...
Hi All, I'm wanting to locate and contact any owners of Eagle FF's? I think some run vintage. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Wes Allen <wallen@lexairinc.com>
This sounds exciting. I hope you allow CFF and FF. Contact Steve Beeler I bet he can add 20 cars!
So a tube frame car of the late 60's with a Lotus twin cam and no wings would be a F3? What tires would it run, Slicks or the vintage treaded tires? How many hours can you get with the Lotus engine?...
What's the difference between these two classes in vintage racing?
Thanks Wes
Hey,check out <www.sracing.com> Jim and Greg Schings,good guys can provide all the stuff needed.
tell them Wes Allen sent you!
Can someone tell me the difference between these two engines? HP? reliability? Cost to buy or rebuild? This would be for a early 70's 2 litre Can Am project.
Thanks Wes Allen
I havw two sets for sale . $150 buys both! And I'm just down the road in Lexington!
