I just started racing in Arizona this year with the ProAutoSports in the Euro Formula Ford class. Bought a very good car a 1993 Euro-Swift for a mid-teen price and arranged for a shop to store, maintain, take it to the track and provide support at the track, all a very positive experience. Tire bill is minimal at 3 races per set, I still have not run a 2nd set of tires and I've put 32 heat cycles on my 1st of tires and the entry fees are cheap, we use Aviation fuel, so it's not expensive. Arizona has a lot of tracks near the Phoenix area, so there is variety and there 7 or 8 race per year in the PSA championship series. Overall, it seems that the cost to go FF racing is relatively inexpensive. Also, not having to buy a tow vehicle, trailer and specialty tool is a big upfront saver. The downside is there is no racing in the summer and I can't seem to find anywhere to practice w/o joining a $40K initiation fee for a club. It seems a like good formula, there are cars available at a reasonable price but the turnout is somewhat lackluster and I'm disappointed. Maybe it's the economy.
