Thanks for the results. I think 4 of the 6 entries were also in the runoffs this year. You are somewhat correct. Unfortunately, Dennis was injured and his car TRASHED (damage at 3 of 4 corners plus an unusable ROLL BAR .. but still pristine bodywork) at the beginning of Q1 on Tuesday, so he was una...

Was just looking over the rules proposals for NEXT YEAR and thought I would post the ones that apply to FV .. at least for the moment (August, 2021). This one in particular seems that it's going to be needed on A BUNCH of cars ... D. Effective 01/01/2022, Cars using a Lithium Battery must display th...

The motorhome has been sold.

OK.. the trailer is actually GONE, but the buyer backed out of the sale on the motorhome, so it's back on the market again. Price remains the same (this is a GOOD motorhome), but I MIGHT entertain offers that are close.
Reach me here on the Interchange or direct.

Steve, FV80

Do you have the original log book(s) for the car? Any history of it's last race? Original owner (you?)? Any price in mind?
Looks pretty good for a car that's been in storage for that long. Should make a great Vintage car.

SOLD! I have a 1994 Holiday Rambler diesel pusher, 36 foot motorhome for sale since Linda and I have recently 'upgraded' to a newer model. This motorhome has no slides, but lots of basement storage and a well laid out interior. Microwave/convection oven and LP cooktop. I installed newer radio a few ...

...(I haven't found total times for the races yet, because I'm not able to find this event on Race Monitor. I will update the post when I have the total times. Please share if you have them. Thanks.)

Thanks, Alex. Great results and very nice to have in one easy place
Steve, FV80

Alex, I thought about creating a new category just for result, but realized that THIS category is pretty much already THAT. I just tested to be certain ... you CAN change/modify the Subject line for each new post. SO.. stay in the same thread, but put the 'subject' of your results post in the subjec...

Good idea Alex. The results from Sebring are also available. And I should mention that new 'SPEC TIRE' LAP RECORDS were set during the Sunday races of both Homestead and Sebring. National HQ refuses to recognize FV Spec Tire lap records, but *I* am tracking them as best I can with some help from Gra...

I'm not certain but there was nothing in the letter that I received from Hoosier that specifically mentioned the Formula Vee class, just contingency tires. Therefore, good chance it applies to all classes.
Steve

OK, fans.. seems that Hoosier has DECLARED that the new FVS tire is ONLY GOOD FOR TWO RACES!! The latest scoop - as sent to registrants for the 2021 season follows... Looking at the Rev date at the bottom, this decision was made THE DAY BEFORE the Sebring HST weekend. -------------------------------...

This car has been sold again. Hopefully, we'll see it on the track in SEDIV this year.

New sale is pending....

Please see below link for pictures and thread about this car. https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?88739-FS-Lynx-B-FV&p=618343#post618343 The guy that bought this car has decided that he is NOT nearly as interested in 'real racing' as he thought he was. So... without ever putting it o...

Quickly said.. CRACKS IN THE FRAME ARE **NOT** NORMAL :P . Your picture is too 'tight' to show really WHERE The crack is located, but it's safe to say it definitely needs to be fixed .. and soon. Right now you have a repairable issue, but it could quickly develop into something MUCH more serious .. ...

Well, friends.. it goes on... FV will be SIXTY years old in 2023 (at least SCCA wise). Discussions are in the EARLY stages at this point, started by Butch Deer. We want to make this one a 'jim dandy' birthday, so open up your brains and let's get some discussion going. We'd like to FOCUS on a single...

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Jim Averett on Nov 6, 2020. Past FV, SRF and FC racer as well as a fine steward for SCCA. Jim was Chief Steward for the Runoffs in past years and this year was present as a member of the SOM Appeals board. Jim raced in FV in the 80's and finished...

From the SCCA GCR - Appendix F.

This article is about the NEFV group that has had such great success in getting new members into FV. It's about Paul Faford and the founding efforts of the OPDE in New England. Racer.com did a nice job on it In addition to that, there are TWO articles in this month's SCCA Magazine. I'm going to the ...

Mark, You might have better luck if you post a price and a little more info about the car. Do you have a LOGBOOK for the car? Any history of it? What year is it? Does it have a roll bar stamp? Any idea who owned it originally? If it was a 'project', what were your original plans for it? You are show...

Robert, That is definitely TRUE.. However, IMHO the gain provided is NOT enough to warrant putting anything into your gearbox other than good ole TRANSAXLE FLUID.. as in Joe Gibbs Trans racing synthetic 75w or similar. I DO recommend SYNTHETIC fluid, but the really light stuff (IMHO) just adds more ...

To those that celebrate these things. Wishing the best for everyone this holiday season and throughout the coming year.

Mark,
Welcome to this forum and best wishes for your new company. FV has been in need of more service/rental options for some time in different parts of the country.
