5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of Formula Fords, December 23, 2005

This review is from: The Anatomy & Development of the Formula Ford Race Car (Paperback)

I am a race car junkie. I have 17 vintage race cars and the number keeps on growing. Since many of these are Formula Fords, I use this book religiously. The book covers all of the Formula Fords of the period and does an adequate job at touching upon the history and cars of each marque. But by no means is it all inclusive. Not all the models have pictures and information varies from highly detailed to a cursory mention. But the book still rates at 5 stars since it is the most comprehensive written to date about Formula Fords. Demand for this book is still high and I'm surprised the publisher has not released a second printing of this book, nor Nickless has written a more detailed update. You can see some of my cars at my website www.TheLolaRegistry.com

Formula Fords were the starting class for a lot of famous race car drivers including Michael Andretti. This book covers Formula Ford from 1968 to 1992. Not much as changed on Formula Ford (except Formula Ford 2000 cars have front and rear wings) and yes there is still Formula Fords racing in SCCA competition. Been there, done that!
