2023: it got more complicated, more expensive and lost the grass roots origins which saw 25-40 folks out there on the grid having achievable fun - me included. what a loss

title is missleading... just people saying my car is a.. blah blah.. this is a so an so car.. etc. this is not a documentary, there is no story flow and the constant annoying beat music is bloody annoying. you could do so much better at describing the cars and covering the history. BTW I used to race FF at Silverstone in the early 70's.

It was a shame you cut the scene at the top of the Corkscrew every time on the on board camera. On the other hand you captured Clubman Racing at its purest. FF is a great class and deserves to run and run.

Somehow this vid ended up in recommendations. As a former club racer and Seca course worker I thought I'd give it a watch. What a delightful surprise to see Eric Inkrott! His brother Mike was a CalClub regional FV champ in the 90s and a mentor to me when I built my FV. He test drove it with me on it's first shakedown weekend and was instrumental in getting it set up. Eric, their father Joe, and a friend of mine were our crew when Mike and I co-drove to a win (my only one) at the club's annual Enduro (Mike did the heavy lifting, all I had to do was keep it on the track). Grateful to the Inkrotts for their help and encouragement during that time. Those are really well prepared and maintained cars! Those Lotus 61s in particular. Shame there is no footage of them negotiating the Corkscrew.

Great video guys. I’ve been trying to figure out how to race Formula Fords here in the Atlanta, GA area. I’m assuming I can run with some of the normal vintage racing events in the area and then do a nationwide event once or twice a year? Any info would be helpful: check us out on Instagram or website @fullermoto Thanks, Bryan Fuller

Formula Ford? Rich? Not really. Cars are between $10k-$20k to get started. Less than buying a new car, even when you consider buying a trailer. You can race in your street car with just a helmet at your local track. Anyone can race, but you can race faster with more money, of course.

WoW. great to see it again. I raced a Merlyn mk.11a in the early 70's. man, the grids were packed back then with sometimes 45 cars starting. many races at Laguna, willow,Riverside, portland, seattle, Sears Point. they should have kept the same specs. yah, I know about progress, but why? I was young and had a dream that came true. learned to make fiberglass parts, suspension pieces, living in my truck because the sacrifice was a no brainer when it was most important to go racing. carroll Shelby had the Goodyears that were a hundred bux each back then and you needed a new set for Qualy and then the race, so I'd buy them used off a top qualifier for a hundred a set. it was the difference between 1st and 5th and winning wasnt on my plate at the onset, just to learn how, until I finished 5th/40 at Riverside for my first National point. I'll bet I could do fairly well now. where are all those cars now?
