No scuba, no guns, no sex. But I did drive this car this spring. http://www.msrhouston.com/msrhouston/gallery_videos.asp Ignore the ad and click on Formula Atlantic.

Cool. How much? >> No scuba, no guns, no sex. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >How much? $1000 for about 30 laps, full tilt. Cunnigham took it out and beat my fastest lap first lap out. But I beat him in my F500. It all comes down to knowing the car.

Sure would have liked to hear the shifts. What kind of cert do you have to show to buy a ride? JF >> No scuba, no guns, no sex. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >JF SCCA license works, although they prefer to see open wheel experience. And it helps to be buds with them. The car is a current Formula Atlantic, figure something in the neighborhood of $120K before it gets on the transporter. Another $60K for the transporter and about $1000 a pop for tires. A good FA team will run about $500K for a season. My car is about $8K, the transporter is a trailer and a 1992 Burb. Figure $400 for tires, good for about 4-6 weekends. The only problem is that the burb gets 12 mpg towing and I'm paying $8/gal for race fuel.

Years ago (like the late 60's) we had a class that I believe was called F4 running motorcycle engines on a lightweight open wheel chassis mounted on Mini wheels. They looked like fun. I never got to drive one. We were running a Cooper Deeker at the time. I was the pit crew. The driver moved from there to Formula Ford and I went into motocross and snowmobiles. He became the Canadian FF champion. I became a better mechanic. JF >>> My car is about $8K, the transporter is a trailer and a 1992 Burb. >>> Figure $400 for tires, good for about 4-6 weekends.

I actually made a couple laps of Silverstone in a FF waaaay back when.

An acquaintance of mine worked for one of the FF chassis builders in England for a summer years ago when he was still in university. He got to race a Lola that summer. Great student employment, huh?
