Old Ropey should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
As ActiveMS mentioned earlier, it is Jonathan isn't it, for anyone wanting to try single seaters there is nothing to compare with Formula Jedi(nee Honda) on a performance/cost basis.
Sure I'm biased, but I've looked at everything at club level over the past couple of years and I'm more convinced than before.
This year we will have 25-30 cars at most if not all meetings, and may have separate races for the 2 engine classes at the first meeting at Croft on 17/18 April, that's 4 in all.
It's got everything, old guys, young guys, quick & slow, fathers & sons in the same race, just a pity it's not better known, though an article I put in Karting mag has generated a fair amount of interest.
A quick 1000 car is certainly on a par with FPA and not a million miles from F Renault whilst a 600 gives a Zetec a good run for it' money, at a 20th or 30th of the cost!!
