SCCA Formula Ford Racing In 1980 Is Like Formula One Jr.
SCCA Formula Ford Racing In 1980 Is Like Formula One Jr.-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:47

The SCCA national championship race weekend, known as the runoffs, was held at Road Atlanta from 1971 until 1993. They're always super competitive races and quite exciting. The 1980 Formula Ford runoff had 39 cars, and an enterprising YouTuber has uploaded the whole thing to show us what it was like when men were men.

This race features David Hobbs on commentary, a young John Paul Jr. and Chip Ganassi racing, and some crazy three wide passes.

It's great stuff. Block off some time and give it a watch.

It Took Valtteri Bottas 68 Races To Realize Lewis Hamilton Might Be Better Than Him
Valtteri Bottas is many things; he’s reliable, consistent, someone Lewis Hamilton probably ‘accidentally’ calls Heikki more often than he should, an excellent Rubens Barrichello-type number two, and a Finn .
