    Default Just bought my first Formula car

    I have owned a Factory Five car that I built from ground up since 2007. I have been loosing interest in it mostly bc it has become more work to keep it race ready due to the weight of the parts and working on my back in a small garage. I have been running AuotX, mostly just for fun, for 6 years now. I have always admired the smaller mod cars for their simplicity compared to my street legal car. My home chapter is the Philly group, I also run with NE PA, Northern and Southern NJ SCCA clubs. So this year I decided to sell my XP car and I purchased a Banshee 1600 Formula car. I will become active here especially the 1 st year or 2 developing my car.

    What size wheels and tires does the Banshee use?

    What are the brands/models of the wheels and tires?

    Cool, thanks.

    Any idea what the "FRCCA Spec Tires" are? They're Formula Ford size, and look like slicks. Hoosier's? Maybe American Racer?

    Edit: the FRCCA web site says they're the American Racer.

    Your wheels look like aluminum, not steel. Any idea who makes them?
