The car is gone now, Keith. Sold to the US so we won't be seeing it at Mission any more.

Very sad :'( and we 'lost' Fed too(for this year any way). Hukaluk's gone too, FF's not having much luck.
Good news is William will be joining us and Al Baker will return soon.
I'm puzzled by this whole situation; FF is so much fun, cheaper than sedan racing and we even have the best parties, there should be 20 FF's on the track!

It's the same thing with any open wheel class. I think what keeps most folks out of the seat of an open wheel car, is the fact that it's an open wheel car! I suppose most people are a little weary of the fact that the wheels are exposed, and contact usually means you sliding down the track on your lid... Wheras in a sedan, a little rub and bump doesn't normally equate to a catastrophic turn of events. At least, that's the way I see it. :)

Lack of big boy pants is always an issue for people coming into openwheel. We would gladly welcome all the FF boys to join FC as we seem to be growing lately. We might as well all race one class if we want big fields.

We sold our Reynard a couple years back for under 10K CDN and I am guessing it would do 1:10's at Mission.

What tin top would be comparable price and speed wise?

The FC's will have to step it up because we got done to the 1,10,500 on American Racers.
If you want a big FC group maybe you can Sponsor me ;) i think that would be a good deal for FC what do you think Roger ;D

I don't know Alan my 1:07.9 seemed pretty quick with a motor that hasn't been touched in over 7 years.

I will definitely sponsor you with cookies and beer as payment. Or you could just run FC and win the prizes we get from the NWFC Sponsors.

Roger your times are pretty quick for very little track time at Mission. The cookies work beer is out but may settle for Vodka Rum Brandy you know the good stuff ;D
Unfortunately FF is so cheap to run and my fat ass may not fit in most FC's :'(
