Thanks for posting the videos Michael! It is always good to see that I am not the only one who deals with irrational slower cars! What engine/transmission has Folis got in his car? It seemed to boogie along pretty quickly.

[Kitcat]

Folis has a Zetec developed to the nth degree. Ditto his Birkin.

 

Folis is in his mid 70's. He proves that old age just gives you more time to go racing.

 

Michael, the hood ornament in the Caterham video looks suspiciously familiar. Car wudda gone a lot faster if both Caterham headlights were sideways:).

Folis is now 76. I usually only get to see his car from the rear when we are on track. His Zetec was developed and tuned by Abacus Racing in Suffolk VA. ECU developed for him by MegaSquirt and it puts out about 245 - 255 HP, Quaife Sequential trans. It is really a beautiful, well cared for car with lots of TLC and ingenuity from Folis.

[Kitcat]

Abacus tuned my Haltec managed Duratec, I will have to get it to a dyno. It's a pretty mild state of development: redline is only 6800. My lowly X-flow was 6600 rpm's.

Ron,

 

Not to worry. you will be fine. Scott Lentz signed up today. He said Gp 3 had 17 cars so gar. The cut off is 35 per group. It looks like we will have 8 or 9 Sevens (owners) in our group.

Michael - Impressive achievement to get that many sevens together. I am sorry I will not be in the country for this event but I am sure that you will have a few drinks for me in the evening Make sure someone gets some good video!

Fathers day should be for the "FATHER". They should support you. You have been supporting them their entire life. :-)

 

Bring the family to Summit Point.
