[@joaquinpinon2872]

That looked like tons of fun. You kept your cool even on the grass. I used to race a f440 back in the day and it was super enjoyable. Lord bless you and take care 🙏🏼🏎

[@ScottAndrewPersonal]

congrats from Scott Andrew #10 Formula Vee in Queensland - enjoyed the race. We run out of fuel at about 20mins so that was longer than we get to race. Some patient racecraft there gave you that win. Well done!

[@juangomez9723]

im pushing with you all time haha. good race!

[@JB91710]

Be still my heart!!! You actually pulled that off. What a frustrating class. One mistake and you lose so much but the reward of winning is even more satisfying because it is so difficult. Good job!.

[@ThisOldTechGuy]

Thrilling. Simply thrilling.

[@danbuter]

This looks scary as fuck but also really fun!

[@judges69]

Great win, you earned it with skill and patients

[@SMcN50]

Excellent race, perfect timing.😃

[@2lo4sno]

12:55 That was madness once the FFs hit the scene.

[@hj-redravenheng3822]

Really great racing! Great line put you right up the backside of the guy in front on multiple occasions.

[@dimitriostsesmetzissr8845]

Is so cool to see older model cars still racing 🏎

[@chuckbuysse7266]

Great race Hunter and very SMART. Hope to race with you again at Blackhawk Farms. Chuck Buysse Kellison 70

[@stevewhitston3911]

Great race hunter! You deserve it!

[@barronracing7256]

Thanks Steve! Have fun at Mid Ohio

[@PatBuckleyracecar]

Steve - are you related to Ron? If so. tell him hi

[@rossrugheimer8732]

Awesome race guys!

[@Danny-ur4bf]

2:48 nice save

[@gamergirlkayla6394]

Gawd I love Formula Vee. Nice race, just sit there and sit there. Last lap, last corner, sitting second, and draft by for the win. LOVE IT!

[@ryancarbrey2610]

That was an oddly satisfying race to watch. Really nice read of the packs, keeping cool. How did I watch two seemingly unrelated Formula Vee POV videos where the driver is haunted by a blue and yellow car that they can't make a pass stick? Anyway. I want a Formula Vee, but for now I just live vicariously through these videos.

[@bdshort]

Don’t know if you’re into sim racing, but iRacing will be adding a Formula Vee in a couple days, and Automobilista 2 has one from Brazil.

[@scarecrow_9895]

@@bdshort It's great fun to drive this car in iRacing. I highly recommend it.

[@DavidSmith-bj6im]

NICE DRIVE

[@Madgitty2]

love this track, any games using it yet

[@thedmr6417]

13:11 what a mad lad

[@scarecrow_9895]

Do you have the same size engines? They seem to blow right by you pretty easy.Oh I see now, there are three classes of cars. It's also just as tricky in real driving as it is in iRacing these cars. But I don't have to be brave to do it. Haha.

[@Pazair-nq6gl]

Que motor llevan los FV? se ve divertido 🤙. Corren 2 categorías? algunos son mucho más rápidos que el resto

[@PatBuckleyracecar]

Why did the 26 car leave so much space at the start? What an irritating move.

[@jimcook2715]

Scary deal with the Ford's at 8! Little optimistic?

[@MannyCamRS]

Cars passed you like a sitting duck.

[@liamlyda2116]

What's the shifting like in an FV? I can see part of the shifter, is it sequential? H pattern?

[@trentnolan8982]

H Pattern 4 speed. You do the vast majority of the driving in 3rd, you very rarely use 2nd or 4th, and 1st only for launches.

[@Felix-wu1zv]

19:27 Wait what is that white car is that also a formula vee?

[@drmachinewerke1]

Are there any ( vee) races near Kansas City

[@jimcook2715]

Heartland park Topeka

[@lancehoward6714]

What are the different classes of cars on the track

[@jimcook2715]

Formula vee formula 500 and formula ford

[@Kodi093]

Short box?

[@SmeurkeDeKat]

Are those drum brakes?

[@alltheboost5363]

16:06... your right foot must not have been listening. there are many other points but that one too blatantly obvious

[@paulcorcoran2456]

What a useless track for FV racing. No skill required just great HP.

[@PatBuckleyracecar]

Says the man with no talent.

[@goobytron2888]

Not sure what you mean. It’s all about energy management. These cars don’t have great horsepower.

[@jimcook2715]

Surely you jest

[@ericbest9562]

If you know vw engines then you know they are not great accelerators and there isn't a great deal of top end either. This is nothing but skill! Nobody can pull away and if you get knocked back it's very difficult to catch back up with the pack, the only way to gain lead is in and out of the turns.

[@darrendracing6955]

How do you get into Formula Vee?

[@nancypimm1363]

Hard to watch, very timid driver

[@DannoFZ1]

Feet first. :-)

[@JB91710]

Go make some money. You'll need that talent to get into any type of racing.

[@ayrtoncriss-montenegro8976]

First thing is to go to some SCCA events and see if you're really into it. If so then think about renting a vee for SCCA drivers school.
