New Formula B and Formula Atlantic Association

The Can Am owners have their own association. The same with the Trans Am guys, the F/5000 guys, the Indy car owners, and the F/1 owners who can run with the Masters HGP in the US. For much too long now, Formula Atlantic owners and drivers have been left out. Doc Bundy and I want all of the Formula B and Formula Atlantic owners to know that we now have an association for the benefit of us all. We have formed the Historic Atlantic Alliance.

The purpose of the organization is to improve communication among all of us and give us venues in which to race so that we will all be competitive and have a chance to win. Tony Parella has done a great job with SVRA but running with them, we must race against every kind of car with wings and slicks. We are outclassed in SVRA. But no longer.

We have a four race schedule for the remainder of 2015. Go to the website shown below for details. We are working on a fifth race to be a 'season finale' but it is not a done deal yet. We will start with only two classes for this season, F/B using the Lotus Twin Cam engine and F/A using the Cosworth BDD. In 2016, we will add the Toyota Atlantics and the Swift Atlantics as separate classes, giving us a total of four classes. This is the important part: Although all cars will be on track at the same time, YOU WILL ONLY RACE AGAINST OTHER CARS IN YOUR CLASS. Again the four classes are: F/B using the Twin Cam engine, F/A using the Cosworth BDD, Toyota Atlantics and Swift Atlantics.

Points will be awarded in each event and in each class for four series champions to be named at the conclusion of the season. This is only the start of something that will be of huge benefit to us all. For 2016 we are working on a schedule of races as support to pro weekends with Indy Car, Tudor and F/1 so we will be running in front of spectators. If you own, drive or in any way are associated with a Formula Atlantic car of any age, please join the HAA. It will enable you to compete in the HAA races and be of tremendous benefit to the sport generally and to all of us who run Atlantic cars specifically. To join go to:


Thank you!
