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.

Save it for the track!

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.

Robert 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?

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.
