This was just passed along to me by one of my Brazilian friends.


Having been one of several FVee drivers who had the opportunity to race in Brazil via the Challenge Cup "exchange program" I am...

That is not good news. I hope everyone is alright and there is not too much damage. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Jennerjahn family. Hopefully it didn't affect any of their racing...

It doesn't look familiar to me, but I'll forward it to Jon. Maybe it is a VERY early Adams, but not how I remember them. Looks like it is "Missing" some bars...

I've been buying AvGas for years, but not in CT. Usually just give them a tail number/tell them is an experimental aircraft. I was hoping Windham Airport, Chester Airport, Danielson, etc... would...

Hi All,

We are running the Thompson race this weekend and I need to get some AvGas. I am in Hebron, CT and hoping that someone know of a local Airport that is "friendly" to our cause. So anything...

Great car...

We need a price.

Thanks

I have posted this on the series website, but I think it is worth repeating here...

The MId-Ohio Challence Cup Pro weekend with Formula Race Promotions was a fantastic event for the Accelerated...

Hello everyone,

I have half of a garage reserved for the "Fun One" and for the time being the other half is being held for another Challenge Cup driver. Anyone interested, please contact the...

...If you are talking Nationally competitive, One set of Hoosiers a weekend, at a minimum. Also at that point the car and its parts become a commodity. I think that if you continue to gather data,...

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the effort in putting something like this together. My only comment is that I think that the tire cost might need to be broken down by series entered, or type. We have more...

A big thanks to everyone involved with the Challenge Cup Series. From the moment we rolled the cars off the trailer to the last checkered flag, everyone was as helpful, courteous, and encouraging as...

Thank you to all those who put on the Challenge Cup series. I experienced probably the best weekend of racing and camaraderie of my career. The track time was plentiful. The competition was...

Two cars confirmed from Adams Racing. Sound like if we can get just a couple of more drivers we will have over 30 cars entered. It is starting to feel like racing back in the Mid-90's at SCCA...

We are looking at entering two cars for the event

Oh,...OK...

never mind...:o

I think that any open wheel series that promotes single class racing is a wonderful idea. My only question (concern?) is that the series finale is durning the Runoffs weekend. With all the hype...

I think we need to look at the actual issue at hand, track time at the Runoffs. Now I am not going to start a debate as to whether it is worth it, or not, to go. That decision rests entirely on the...

I answered along the same lines Brian. I can't see that it would even be possible to combine FV with any other class. I guess you could look at this as a call to action to all FV drivers to come out...

Looks like a pretty complete car. I would say if you plan on racing at Pittsburgh and can do most of the restoration yourself, it should be a fun project.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I am always in favor of restoring over crushing. Like anything else it really comes down to how much do you want to spend and how much time are you willing to invest. As an investment, you would be...

I can't see FV not having it's own group. I would imagine, just from the chatter on this site, that we are looking at a 40+ Vee run group as it stands. Spec Miata, SRF, FV, should all be safe from...

...As long as you stay with a well know make, i.e. Mysterian, Protoform, Caracal, Vector, etc... you should have no problem finding parts for the cars. I would shy away from "one off" Vee's. I am not...

The sanded one looks like it might be a Autodynamics MKI. It would have square tubing throughout and if original, the gas tank mounted drivers right, forward of the shifter.

Guys this thread has run it's course, and then some. Time to move on... This thread has been closed.

Independent of wether this a FV, or FST, this is a fantastic video! I am pretty sure this is why most of us race. Yes we had races like this in the "heydays" of the 90's throughout the US in both...

David,

It is an privilege to know you and do business with you. Your statement and acknowledgement of error shows your true sportsmanship and honors those who you race against.

You drove a...

Was anyone at this event taking photos of the cars "on track" during the weekend? It has been many years since I have attended an race, but I remember you used to have two, or three photographers per...

What a great weekend! I think the final count was 29 Vee's. No major incidents to my knowledge. Great racing front to back. I can't wait for the next one

BIG thanks to Brian McCarthy and Steven...

Wes,

we are in the same situation. It is my understanding that we would get "bumped up" a run group. We could race as a "club Ford" on slicks, but would run in the FA/F2 session, not in the FF/Fjr...

I would like to see the car in the "High Wing" configuration that Andretti drove.

Thanks Doug,

Awesome photos! Perfect for my "compare and contrast" discussion...


Chris

Hi Doug,

I thought I saw a photo of Mike's Speed Sport AM-5 FV on this forum. I am trying to show my Dad the front nose profile, but can't find the photo. Did you (or anyone for that matter) take...

Contact Phil Harris with Truechoice. He is the Koni "Guru" He will be able to provide exactly what you need. If he has not already built a set, you will have to gather a few measurements and provide...

Guys

Time to get you car ready for Savannah. Less than 60 days until the FV Birthday party. Please refer to the FV birthday link at www.formulavee.org for all of the information needed. I hope we...

Hello All,

The Formula Vee community is throwing a 45th "Birthday Party" at Roebling Road in April. As I mentioned before, Formula Super Vee (and VW powered Sports Racers) have been cordially...

D'oh!

It should read the 45th anniversary. :confused:


All info still applies, please drop me a line and let me know if you have an interest (even if it is slight) in attending.
...

We have been granted space at the FV 45th anniversary party, but now it is time to start getting a head count. I know you have all read my other posts, but to re-cap, this is a three day, VW only,...
