Interested in learning more about the Formula B group of race cars. Just saw a nice group at Mid Ohio and perhaps it plays into our racing future.
Does anyone know where I can get more information on the cars, engines and such? Looking for web sites and people involved in this group that I can approach to learn more.
BTW, I have been racing FF for about seven years.
Thanks for your help.

OldRacingcars.com
is Allen Browns site ...that will get you started.
These guys are real knowledgeable and in your area. I have been racing my Brabham BT21C for about 5 years and if you have a good group it is a lot of fun. Will be at Road America for the KIC in July, check out that race if you want to see more in action. I will be selling mine after the season to move on to other opportunities in life though.Quote:

You mention guys in my area but I'm not sure which guys you are referring to.Quote:

I guess that would be considered a resto-mod.
Yikes, that would be seriously wrong IMHO!Quote:

The board members ar east to midwest based. I say your area because I am on the west coast!Quote:

In my ownership I have tried very hard to get its earlier than late 70s history, but keep coming up against a blank ....
I have put enquiries on this site before - thanks to those that have tried to help. Thought as this is a Formula B thread might put my request here amongst interested guys ..
I have reason to believe it belonged to Noel McGlothlin and raced at Sebring 68 and 69 and VIR around the same time. I believe the car was colored red or sometimes described as crimson or scarlett.
If anyone remembers this car or Noel (R.N.) McGlothlin would really appreciate your help.
If you want to read about these cars racing here in Australia there is a very good newsletter at http://www.hsrca.com/ (scroll down till you see the link to it )

Check out Monoposto.com; this is one of the vintage groups dedicated to open wheel cars in vintage, and along with FF, FV's, Jr's, F-2's and SuperVees, has a F-B group. 8 to 10 races around the E. coast, thru Mid-West, and Canada each season, and the current President, Dave Handy, from Sasco Motorsports, races a Brabham B-car, and will have a lot of info, and know of possible cars for sale. The B cars have been one of the more growing groups in Monoposto, with great racing, and the $$ value holding up.
I have been impressed with the quality of the fields that they have been putting together. The timing is poor for me as I just am too busy at work these days to enjoy my car and it needs to get out and be used! If it does not sell this year, I will hopefully see some of you on a track next year.Quote:

I'm hoping this is the right forum for this--my apologies if it isn't:
I've recently taken over the Palliser-Winkelmann Registry (www.PalliserCars.com). I've made some substantial changes to the site (we now have Classifieds, Restoration photos, Model photos & Specsheets, etc.) & I'm trying to get Palliser Winkelmann owners to revisit the site & maybe contact me so that I can expand the database, or entice them to provide content for the site. I would like to hear from any owners---even those who are already listed in the Registry.
Conversely, if you're a newbie & want to find out about the marque, I'm more than glad to converse with you. I raced a Winkelmann WDF2 in the early 70s & now have a pair of FB Winkelmanns (WDB2) that a friend of mine I run in vintage events in California.
My email is: ldebretteville@gmail.com
Thanks
I've been racing in SCCA, FF and FE2. Seen a few vintages races and I'd like to get involved. In particular I'm interested in the Formula B group.
Been searching the internet for posted cars for sale. Anybody know of a car that hasn't quite made it to the classifieds?
