Vee Line missing copies

Steve Davis has posted 98 of the 100 copies of Vee Line on http://www.formulavee.us . We are missing issues 91 and 92 from 1972. Can you help? Alternatively, I was told that a complete set was passed along with Petunia (Cheesman/Baker’s Formcar). Bob Cornish is the owner of Petunia on the Formcar Re...

Re: Showcase nationals

It seems to me that the future of SCCA FV racing is not so bright. However, vintage FV fields are growing, the racing and the people are fun.

FV major rules changes over the last 46 years?

It seems to me that there have been relatively few rules changes over the years. To me the most significant change was the colling fan. I would like to know what you think were the significant rules changes.

Re: Lake Garnett Races 50th anniv.

I see that "parage" was my mistake, I intended parade. Not much of a typist and an even poorer speller please forgive me. Never-the-less, parage is a good word for the Formula Vee community as one of its definitions is "equality of condition". This brings back reading Chaucer (?)...
