Hey

just read your post and thought you might be interested in some info. I am currently building a car (74 super) for the TCRA under 2.2 challenge class. I have been very interested in FV for a few years but did you know that there is a new class that is trying to get off the ground called Formula First. this new class might or might not replace FV in about 10yrs. did you also know that the engine can cost about $7,000 and the trans can run about $5,000 also depending on where u live parts can be scarce that is one of the reasons for the FF idea. anyway E-mail me and we can talk alot more. I have already started on the front beam for the FF car any way ill get u some linnks to some good FV forums and the FV site that has the rules for FF.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't found that forum yet.

I'd love to still find some plans somewhere, or a chassis to measure. So while I'm working on that, I may build a bug, finding out vintage rules and such.

Looks like the formula first stuff will grow over the next few years, looks like fun.

Yeah FF is really a East coast thng now alot of West coast guys dont like the idea But i talked to TCRA and they said that a FF car is more than welcome to run there events even if SCCA doesnt adopt the class so if i builtone at least i could take it to the track. i live about 45 mins from Button Willow and the same to Willowsprings What are your plans for the Bug? I have the body off right now and have just finished the rewiring i used a painless FB i im working on the pan but latter i plan on getting rid of the VW pan and fabing my own. anyway talk to u latter

I think you've given me some inspiration. I think instead of selling my 1302, I might use it for racing too. Ive been really wanting to get into that, but was holding off because I was building the 1302 for street & show. Now Ive got an excuse to keep it

Racing is an addiction, you will be assimilated.....
