I'm not sure of any manufacturers that preceded that.
In late 1968, my mother received some inheritance money, so decided to use it to go formula racing (she had raced a CS Mini Cooper S in Cendiv Nationals for several years before that). She went out to Carl Haas in NYC in early '69 (before Newman-Haas Racing existed, Carl was a race car distributor) and got a new Russell-Alexis right off the boat from England. Since FF didn't yet exist, she and my father put some fat tires on it and raced FC, until the class came into existence. As I recall, they had three race cars that season, so they could run the CS Mini, the FC Russell or my dad's GP Spitfire. There are some pix on my website, for those who like these historical sorts of things: http://www.not2fast.com/mini/joan/ http://www.not2fast.com/triumph/mk1/ ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
