CONGRATULATIONS NORTHERN NEW JERSEY 0N 75 YEARS!! 1950-2025!
Stories, Past and Present, from our Northern New Jersey Region Archives
May 2026
| STORIES PAST AND PRESENT FROM OUR NORTHERN NEW JERSEY REGION ARCHIVES This month’s story is from the NNJR Pole Position dated April 1983 titled “Forecast” author unknown. “The ‘Forecast’ printed here is taken from our old ‘TONNEAU’ newsletter and was made in December 1963 predicting what the 1964 year would be like in SCCA. It is especially appropriate in this year; the twentieth birthday of Formula Vee, to see how our Forefathers envisioned the future of the fledgling class.. so read on, MacDuff!!FORECAST FCR’ ’64. JANUARY – VW dealers, happy that the SCCA has approved Formula V, place 1,000 orders with Formcar…SCCA announces the production car specifications. 50% of the drivers complain about too many options, 50% complain about too few. FEBRUARY – Lotus brings out a new model for Formula V, so does Cooper. Formcar gets 1,000 cancellations..SCCA officials once again state that amateur racing is first and foremost in their minds…BMC announces its new line of fwd cars to be available in April. MARCH – Coopers wins first 10 places in Formula V race beating 86 cars…SCCA announces a new professional series for modified cars of 35 events…GM yields to pressure by Corvette drivers and brings out the lightweight cars for A Production. APRIL – Lotus announces its MKII Formula V car – guaranteed to do 130mph. Cost is $7,500…The amateur season opens with HP Sprites beating G and F cars. The Cobras are trounced by the aluminum Corvettes and cry that the SCCA is unfair. MAY – Lotus MKII wins first 10 places in Formula V race… The SCCA says it will enforce the neat and clean appearance rule……. JUNE – Lotus and Coopers monopolize Formula V races with new cars costing $9,600…138 cars are rejected at a Vineland race because of their failure to present a neat and clean appearance. Only 36 cars get past tech. JULY – Competition is so rough in Formula V that only 2% of the starters finish…SCCA gives up on the neat and clean appearance rule….. AUGUST – No cars finish in eight Formula V races… SEPTEMBER – GM says it will quit racing and will build no more sports cars…Coopers brings out its new 2.7 Climax powered Hillman Imp…. OCTOBER – Ford announces three new sports cars. GM reaffirms its stand…American Motors also comes out against high performance and racing…. NOVEMBER – Ford sells 8,000 sports cars in three weeks. The SCCA membership turns down the no-option proposal on the basis that HP Sprites without options are beating not only the Sprites with options, but also the G, F and E cars as well. DECEMBER – GM announces four new sports cars… An SCCA spokesman denounces amateur drivers who have received payment or compensation and announces a new pro series for HP Sprites only….VW owners, happy that the SCCA has approves Formula T, place 1,000 orders with Formcar.” ON A PERSONAL NOTE RELATED TO THIS STORY Chris and I attended the 2003 June Sprints at the Elkhart Lake Vintage Festival at Road America celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Formula V race cars. We took a helicopter ride above the track as over 100 Formula V cars rolled out for their pace lap. It was a thrilling sight and a memorable experience!! |
