Zink C-4 FST, etc for sale.

I'm posting this here and on the FST board. I bought a 1974 Zink C-4 from Doug Dale in December 2005 (just in case you might know the car). It ran in SCCA as a FV for many years. I converted it to Formula First last year in hopes of running it in SCCA. I ran one test day in July 2007 and one Race we...

Re: New to Vintage Racing at Gingerman 5/3-5/4

Keith, I checked out the Pittsburg Grand Prix online. I saw a bunch of photos online and it looks like fun, but maybe a little dangerous. Are there a lot of trees close to the course or am I just being a pansy? The seat that is installed in the car is the original Formcar seat. It was broken in seve...

Re: New to Vintage Racing at Gingerman 5/3-5/4

Thanks for the advice Mark. Unfortunately, I can't make it for the school. I've heard it's a ton of track time.

New to Vintage Racing at Gingerman 5/3-5/4

Hi everyone, I've posted a few times, asking questions about my 1962 Formcar that I purchased last year. Thanks for all the help. I've been working on the car feverishly for the past few months trying to get it ready for the season. It last ran at the Chicago Historics at Road America in 1992. I hav...

Re: Vintage Vee Motor

I know that "really, really slow acceleration" is totally unquantitative. LOL. Dietmar, I'll give you a call tomorrow to talk about the fan and belt issue. I should probably post another topic, but I'll give it a shot here. I was at Butch Deer's garage over the weekend and was checking out...

Vintage Vee Motor

I purchased a '62 Formcar (Serial #04) from a guy in Wisconsin last year. I've been going through it and should be ready for the Spring Brake race at Gingerman in May. I've been running it around my shop and it seems really, really slow in acceleration. I can only get it up to about 50 mph, so I can...

Re: Zink help needed

I have a Zink C-4 and I'm in Crystal Lake, IL. I'm running it as a Formula First in 2008, but will be restoring it to vintage next winter. I'm looking to reproduce some vintage body panels for my car. I do have some spares that you might be interested in. I'm looking for some vintage body panels to ...
