You are right. They do not let open wheel cars play.....

Good News about the Mystery car named Illusion! I talked to JR Russell (owner of Roxannes Headers) today (he is in Alaska!!!) and he did indeed build and race the car. The car started out as a Protoform and looking at the front beam covers and the rear suspension... it makes sense. The pontoon on th...

I don't think I have ever seen a wrecked FV or sale. It may be a liability issue. If this has been done in the past, and they got caught, I am sure the tech folks look for it. Sort of like switching vin numbers on a wrecked and stolen car.

Great photos. Thanks for posting them.

HAHAHAHA! Thanks for the great info and much needed laugh!!

I got an extra frame with a Zink I bought and have had no luck identifying who made it. The car was raced in the SE at some time but without a rollbar stamp, there is no way to identify it. It looks like the rollbar was updated and was never restamped. The frame is a modern design (versus a 30 year ...

I have asked for permission from the Central Florida Region of SCCA to film at the Sebring Raceway in 2 weeks. If anyone is going to be at this race and would like to be part of the film, let me know. I will get as much track and paddock footage possible and do a couple short interviews. Should be f...

Looking for footage I can use in the FV DVD. Need a classroom photo and some track time. Let me know. Thanks

PO found the receipt for the engine. It is a 1915 engine from RIMCO. Is that a 69x92? Also has their 040 heads and a pair of 44 delortos. It sure runs strong.

Would like to photograph and film for the DVD project. Thanks.

I want to shoot some video of a FV in solo. Anybody going to Deland on July 25th? thanks.

Steve. I will include the sites in the DVD and the u-tube version. I did a google on formula vee and formulavee.us and formulavee.org are at the top. That's good news!

Having closed races with little or no spectators hurts the sport. Look at NASCAR and Circle-track. I would guess that MOST of their new drivers come from the spectator pool. People like what they see and want to be part of the "action". Dads that take their kids to these races would love t...

Steve. Thanks for the info. I will go thru them and let you know.

Ed. PM with address sent.

Thanks. I appreciate the help.

That figures but I can understand why open-wheeled cars and sedans just don't play well together. I'll check with the SCCA. Thanks

I talked with Paul Schiemer today and he has agreed to let me take over the promotional DVD project. After reading thru the several message threads in the Promote FV forum, I decided to give it a try myself. I own a Film production company and have done many projects like this including a WWII D-Day...

Thanks Steve. I will try to reach Paul again since he may have a lot of video and photos that I can use. I hope to get more comments from the members. Since I am not asking for money, it may be easier to participate for many of them. Luckily, I live in Florida and there are several tracks I can use ...

The reason I am asking is I own a film production company and may want to give it a shot but do not want to step on toes or compete with someone else who is doing it already. Since I am part of the FV world, I would b happy to do it for free. I will try to reach Paul again just to make sure he is no...

I was going thru a CFR calendar and I see there is a Track Day coming up soon at Sebring. I searched the website to find out what a track day was and did not find anything. Has anyone been to a track day in CFR? Thanks

Is there an update to the DVD? I emailed Paul and did not get a response.

No new info on the strange frame car. I did get some good news on the Zink though. It was raced in the early 1970's in the Central Florida Region. They said they would issue a new logbook after it gets thru tech.

The Central Florida Region got back to me and they found the entry in their logs for the car and they said they would issue me a new logbook, using the original frame stamp number, after it goes thru tech. Judging from it's low number, it was raced in the early 1970's so we have another Vintage FV. ...

Count me in as one of the old farts. I am almost 60 and just getting into FV racing. When I was 20, I raced at Summit Point in a Z28 camaro then spent years in drag racing and ralleys. I am just getting back to my roots I guess and looking forward to getting my 2 sons and son-in-law into it too. The...

Here in Florida there are several all-VW car clubs that put on HUGE all-VW events. The Bug-Jam is a 4 day event that brings VW lovers from all over the world. There is a huge car show with over 1000 VW's but I have never seen a FV on display. I will change that for the next show and will display 1 o...

I went over the frame again this morning looking for a stamp but did not find one. Judging from the different-looking welding on the main hoop, I would say that the roll bar was replaced and it was not re-stamped. There are several inspection holes but no number that I could find. There are some new...
