    I was watching some of these the other day and figured I'd at least link them to this site. Really some great races here. If anyone ever had the desire to start doing some real wheel to wheel racing, take a look...this is a great place to start.

    Below is a link to all of the races:

    Below is a link to my race. We're not the fastest cars, but we have some great races and fun! I'm the red #65....I won't spoil the finsh but the last lap was good.

    I had a tough week but ended up the "hard charger" in my race. HP was the best race IMO. First to third no one crossed the line front wheels first. I was one of those knuckleheads fishing in lake lloyd when I wasn't on track.

    I went the last year at Road America.....if you want to see 'jump up and down' racing fun, SCCA has it!

    That was a cool stretch when Runoffs were at RA for multiple years. I like the fresh approach of going to Iconic tracks all around the country for Runoffs. It makes a non-competitive guy like me willing to do the $10k week. It is a fun show that way. This year SM had a night race and there were fireworks after the checkered flag. It was a great show.

    Man that was fun to watch. Congrats on the well deserved win !
    Real entertainment.

    My first SCCA car was a Bobsy F Vee back in the day and I still have a soft spot for them.
    Got out a few years back with tube framed F Mazda as the last car.

    Was sad when SPEED channel dropped the runoffs.

    I'd still like to find a Knappmobile and restore it.

    The night SM race was definitly cool. I personally don't like the changing tracks every year. When it changes every year, it feels more like a normal race then the "runoffs". For me there was always some magic about being at the same track every fall...kinda felt like going home....the atmosphere, ect. Plus it made engineering easier. Now each track is different so a different approach is needed every season to car development. I would have prefered a 3-5 year run at each track.

    I might find my way back into the sport but finding a way into a FV harness might be a different matter ;)

    Back when I put a pen to it FM was actually cheaper.
    The Canadians used to have a spec street tire series in FF.
    That's the way to go.

    A really fine race. Just lit the fire under me to finish getting my vintage crusader FV car ready for this coming season.

    Thanks for posting, first watched SRF, then Formula V. I love the style of the cars in those two classes.
