Doug # 07 seems to have ticked all the boxes. We run an FM here in Canada and on occasion in the northern US. Not having the budget time to test tires, this might be a good solution.

FM...

Nothing but respect for Moses. Sounds like this #27 works for hoosier.

www.speedcasttv.com has or will have all the races rebroadcast.

Congrats to Mike A., Alan M. and Stu R. Great show mostly featuring how close the Mazda battle can be. FE also came into play at both ends of the field and the yellow flag made for an exciting...

Any FM drivers want to give me some advice ?
Otherwise sunny and warm Arizona it is. Probably wait till the fall though
temp. is good here now.

John B.

OK, so my son has an FM but doesn't have much time to drive it.
I'm 60, retired, have lots ot time and want to learn to drive it, left foot braking, the works.
I'm not looking to be overly...

Hi GT., I still have the old style seals on my engine ( probably do for a refresh )so that won't be much help to you. I am going to Road Atlanta as a spectator/crew next weekend so I can ask and take...

Hey Darryl and Stuart,
I'll be there for the weekend, unfortunatley only as a spectator. I have to watch and learn from you guys before jumping in again.

Hey G.T.
Brian and BGR stay on top of the maintenance for me. He seems to think with the size of our rod ends, compared to the F.F's, they should be fine as long as there aren't off track events....

Good Point G.T., Eric and I have gone 3 years with only plugs, cap, rotor, muffler and brake pads as spares. Only used the pads I should change out some rods ends before there is a problem.
Maybe...

Wow, Brian looks more tense or intense then Scott and Zack !
Relax, enjoy and do what you do best. The luck will follow.

Good Luck Guys,
John and Eric B.

Congrats to Darryl and the Hillenburg Motorsports Team. Get to the front early and make them try to stay with you.

John B.

No need to get twisted Stephen,
I know Mike has an abundance of bike engine parts. My mistake thinking he put his 1000 cc engine in it. I new he replaced the engine the car came with.
John B.

Many thanks for the input. We've had our FM 3 yrs. now but run a very limited schedule ( driver is still a student ) However I don't know when the previous owner last changed them so I think I have a...

Forgot to add, everyone walked away, although his wallet is much lighter.

After seeing this happen in one of my races at Mosport, I was wondering how often we should change the heim joints on my FM.

-John B

Way to go Steve, I think all the 1200 guys were cheering for you.

John B.

Congrats to Darryl and Alan. I got to listen on the internet here in Canada. Sounded like the commentator was standing on his chair with excitement for the FM racers. I think he promoted FM over all...

Check on the www.casc.on.ca site. Page 3 of the of race cars for sale has a 2002 radical for sale. Car is beautiful and has not been abused. It's in Ontario but if it's what your looking for it's...

Kind of makes me want to move to Texas.

Some Canadian content

Thanks Moses

Congrats on the new car Kevin. Post some pic.'s when it arrives.

John B.

I sent you a PM.

Hey Kevin, If you are paying by the session bring extra money, once you start to get the hang of it you won't want to get out of the car.
Take your time, listen to the feed back from the instructor...

Hi Sprocket,
My son and I bought an FM 2 years ago but have only raced it once in the US. We mostly race at Mosport, Calabogie and Mt. Tremblant. There are 4 of us here along with 4 of the early...

Hi Desmond,
Not so sure you want to know and I don't have all the details. Race 1 had a tight 7 car train. With about 2 laps left red flag came out for an incident at the bottom of corner 2. I...

Congrats to Alan, Doug and Steve. Great racing action. I think the FE guys are going to be P.O.ed because FM got most of the on camera time. Wow, great race by all.
I think the CRB should note...

Hi John, the FM qualifying is done. the race will be broadcast at 2:30 tomorrow if Road America is in the same time zone as you are.

John B.

I read in this months Sports car mag that Goodyear has come out with a new tire for FM that is better than what we have used in the past. Anyone care to tell me what it is ? Perhaps I could get some...

Hi Darryl, I wish Eric and I could make the trip just for some Canadian content. With Eric's University schedule would coudn't make 1 SCCA race. Eric got his licence at Road America in a Barber car a...

Raced our Mazda at Calabogie Aug.11 & 12. Had Braiden mount and balance our tires. Eric lasted 2 laps, the car was vibrating so bad he could'nt see. After spending 2 hours checking the car for...

Finally success. Removed the AIM system and the car started. Installed the AIM again and everything worked except the tach. I tapped into a wire from the original tach and it started working. Not...

Thanks Guys, it appears no spark is the culprit. Today I will remove the Aim system and see if it will start. Never was any good at wiring.

I'll keep you posted.

John B.

Time for my weekly FM ?

I recently acquired an AIM XG log system. Installed temporarily to test it. Fired up the car for 1 minute and everything appeared to be working well. I hard wired the...

Many Thanks Guys,
I guess I have the wings more rear than front and the driver always complains about understeer.
We'll do another test day and see what we can find.
Best lap to date...

Anyone care to offer an opinion for wing angles on an FM. On a high speed track like Mosport ( now Canadian Tire Motorsport Park ) I'm thing maybe 4* in the front and 6* in the rear ? Just guessing....

Many Thanks Darryl, I have no idea what position they are in or the condition of them. But now I have a starting point.

To bad you couldn't make the Toronto Indy. There is a great in car video on...

Hi All, This is our second year with our 2000 FM. The car is fast and incredibly reliable.
Many thanks to the FM community for their set up help along the way.

The question is shock compression....

Someone should be looking at Mike Rogers Lazer 2.5. It has an Autoworks engine and would probably be 1 of the best appearing cars in an already impressive field. It only needs the Falken K tires to...

Many Thanks Ted, I've called a few times and although I wasn't offered that option they have walked me through posible problems. I working on borrowing a different display dash thinking there must be...

Just spent hard earned cash purchasing and instaling an AIM XG Log. The tach does not read any rpm. Tried the 2 different wires on the negative side of the coil and both coils. It will not activate...

Thanks, World Speed.

Is there a schedule posted for the FCC in the Southeast or Mid West.

Thanks for the Info,
John B.

Thanks for posting the results,
Sounds like another great show for the FM racers.
Congrats to Darryl and his team.

John B

Can someone post some updates of the action in Sebring ?
Weather, # of Mazda's etc.

Thanks,

Welcome to Formula Mazda Richard,
Go to www.formulamazda.com and call Moses or 1 of his dealers. They know where all the Mazda's are and what they are worth. If they don't know the car it's not...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the FM drivers and teams. Hope to see you all at the track next year.
Wish I would have put our car in 1 of the trailers going south after the Mid Ohio...

Yes F-1200 did run Pro Races in the past. However some drivers did not like the higher entry fees ( offset by our series sponsor at the time, ISSECO ) and poor pit allocation. Also, we would be 1st...

Wow, what a great idea. A Can-Am Challenge. I think we might have to put Darryl and the boys on snow tires, just to equal up the field.
Good Luck at the Run-Offs guys,
John and Eric

Just wanted to pass on a special thanks to all the FM drivers and teams at the Formula Car Challenge in Mid Ohio.
We made the trip from Ontario, Canada just to meet the drivers and enjoy the racing....

Hey Darryl,
I'm working with NASA to get our paperwork in order so we can get our Mazda in the field from Ontario, Canada.
