Anyone know formula atlantic and swift cars..

Yes, they are really nice looking cars - 70's and 80's really did it for me in terms of road racing. Even something that wasn't totally competitive - it would be great to get out there. I will definitely get into it once there's free budget!

 

based on all you have achieved in your mma pursuits...I KNOW you have the discipline to get the chevron savings fund started.

i will see you on the grid!!!

Adding to that list are DB4's and still run with the above mentioned group

 

Yes, I do. It's a 1997 Reynard with a turbocharged, methanol burning, 925 hp Cosworth XD. The thing is an absolute blast, but trust me, a modern Atlantic is 90% of the experience. Granted the Champ Car does 1:12's, hits 195 and 4 G's at Road Atlanta while the FA does 1:20's, hits 150 mph and pulls 3 G's, but the FA really does feel like a lighter, more nimble Champ Car. It is probably just as fast, if not faster in the corners.

I wish I had some in-car FA footage to share but I've been reluctant to put a camera on the roll hoop as it creates a vortex on the rear wing. I've been searching for an aerodynamic housing like they use in the F1 and Indy Car series. I do have a bit of Champ Car footage from a test we did at NJMP Thunderbolt last spring. A friend stuck a "hero Cam" on my helmet, too bad the sound was overwhelmed by the wind, the sound is a good part of the fun! 190 on the front straight. If you look carefuly you can spot a 70's F1 car and a Radical... ; )
