It's not staying local. I'll leave it up to the buyer to introduce himself.

Car is headed to it's new home.

With fall around the corner, it's a great time of year to drive. Lots of interest but the car is still available. Putting it up on e-bay next week.

Yes it's still for sale. It's around 1350lbs and it's easy to insure.

Bump. Price reduced to $20,000. Motivated seller.

Gary, Likewise. I've had a blast competing with you at Cumberland and I plan to attend local events in some sort of vehicle. And until the car is sold, it will be getting regular exercise.

Thanks everyone. Josh- The car came with that windshield when I purchased it. I think the windshield was standard at the time because the tops snap into the top of the frame. I can take some dimensions for you if that helps. Jerry- The diamond wheels are close but they don't rub anywhere.

Since I needed something to tow the BMW, I now have a double axle 17' trailer and full size pickup. The trailer weighs in at 2100#, significantly more than the Ultralite.

I plan to sign up for HPDE 3.

Michael, I'll be there for Hyperfest and my primary plan is to bring the Ultralite. I'll have the BMW there since my son will be driving too. Thanks Bruce and Loren. The trailer worked great for me. It's now sold.

I've decided to sell my aluminum trailer. It's a Mission trailer, custom built in '07 as part of a USA7s trailer buy. This one has a 6' deck and narrow fenders to fit inside of a small garage 92" wide. Perfect for a 7 or other small vehicle and easily to tow. It's 14' in length, all aluminum, electric brakes, spare tire and mount, stabilizer jacks on back, 6' loading ramps. Over $4200 new -- I would like to get $2995 for it. I will take some more recent pictures. There are a couple of scrapes on the deck from loading the car. It has spent most of it's life in the garage. Please call me at 703 945-0509 or email jeffwduncan@gmail.com if you are interested. Thanks. --Jeff

Johan, Welcome. I'm in Reston, VA and happy to talk in the evenings or weekends. You can reach me at jeffwduncan@gmail.com.

Happy New Year All! Looking forward to driving the 7 more in 2012.

Yes that's correct, they are FA front tires - 23.0 x 9.5R15 - radials. I run them on 10" wide rims front and rear.

My vote would be to run Hoosier R25Bs. There are lots of used ones available in 15" from the serious formula car crowd if you don't want to buy them new.

Hyperfest is something to experience at least once. It's like a typical track day mixed with tons of spectators, girls, and drifting.

Mazda, That stinks but good to hear you're OK. Between the two of you, I'm sure it's in good hands to be rebuilt even better and stronger. The bike engined 7 sounds fun too.

I recently tried some Dupli-Color Truck Bed Coating which comes in 16.5oz spray cans. So far, it has worked great and it's as easy to apply as spray paint.

The hood looks great. Can't wait to see it in person. More power sounds good, then you'll want tires with more grip.

Geran, I'm in Reston and I'm happy to give you a ride in an Ultralite. My schedule is tight over the next couple of weekends but after that we should be able to coordinate something. My e-mail is jeffwduncan@gmail.com

Last I heard, the car was still on the east coast. I sold it in 2000 and tried to keep track of it's whereabouts for a while. I do know that it changed hands twice and a few year ago, I saw it at a regional Summit Point event. Tom Smith, who was a fellow CF racer back when I was racing, owned it the last time I saw the car. Tom lives in NJ and I could dig up his address if you're interested in trying to track him down. Do they get many club fords out for races on the west coast these days? The numbers in the DC region are down in the single digits.

Andrew, Thanks for sharing the video. I've always had a soft spot for formula fords. On the track they can produce very quick overall laps times that many high performance, wildly expensive cars can't touch. Steve, I completely agree. I ran a '77 Zink Z-10C on the east coast in the MARRS series through the 90s. Definitely some of my fondest car memories.

Jim, As another data point, I run Toyo Proxes R888s as a street tire and sometimes track day tire on my Ultralite. There are certainly faster/stickier tires for pure track or autox duty but these are tires you can drive to the event on, run a track day with reasonable level of grip, and drive back home. And they seem to wear well. I have another set of hoosier slicks/rims but they are strictly for autox use. I know your criteria wasn't concerned with rain ability but FWIW, last year, I used the R888s as Autox rain tires and was quite happy with their performance. I really think the tires will eventually end up heat cycling into bricks before they wear out. No personal experience with the other tires you mentioned but I'd pick the R888s if I had to do it again today.
