When is the last time you saw a new FV being built?

[smsazzy]

I am finishing up my Vortech and thought I would put a post up on the board to show those interested the pictures I snapped along the way. Enjoy!

Very, very nice!

I look fondly back on my (albeit short) time racing FV.

I rather miss it...

BTW, hope to see some video of this beauty in action!

Planning to run with Conference this year?

 

[smsazzy]

If things work out, I plan to run at least three conference races. There is a big Vee weekend being planned in Mission that I would like to run. Depending on my other commitments, it would be nice to run the dorn and a Seattle race too.

Stephen,

Great build. I have a fondness for VW powered formula cars. Can't wait to see it on the track.

Stephen

Sweet, they never look better.

The last FV build I saw we calked out the marks for the frame on the cement floor...just like ole yello

How about you and the FV crowd come to Spokane and ORP this year? There are track records for the taking (Spokane, new configuration, ORP no Vees?).

Good Luck

Paul Whitworth ran ORP last year in his Vee. So there is a track record for a Vee to beat there.

 

[smsazzy]

Not sure I will make Spokane or ORP this year. I did have a great time this weekend running the Rose City Opener in Portland. As a side note, I was happy to claim the conference track record for PIR-No Chicane for Qualifying and Race.

That makes it all worth it.

Hoping to run Mission and Seattle too. We'll see if I can convince some other Vees to come run Seattle for some competition!

I think most of the BC FVs might be planning to head down to Seattle later in the season.. I know I am!
