Re: Is there a future for Formula Ford?
I really dont know why some race fans put the FF down their lap times are as fast as the V8s the sound is OK ,the racing passing and drafting not seen in other classes is good providing you know what you are watching,and as I have said before its a long time since we have had these young ones ...

Re: NEW CLASS / SERIES; Historic Sports Sedans. formation meeting.20/04/13 ACC
Why is it so hard to understand ,the muscle cars are very fussy about what runs in their eyes,so any Sports Sedan that ran as such is in ,if it did not run as a Sports Sedan its out , .Amco the Minis were very strong when the S.Sedans were running and for one I think it would be great to see them ...
