Photos are of car as configured and driven by former owner, Bob Neumeister of Colorado, sometimes known as "Nuby". He set fastest lap at Road America National Championships in 2010 and 2011.
I chose Formula Vee because it is a class based on the aircooled engine and basic chassis components from a 1960's VW. With limited modifications allowed, costs are relatively low and competition is spirited. Many of the top drivers in this class, although amateurs, have skill levels consistent with top professionals. Because of the high level of driver skill and limited horsepower (60 hp is a strong engine! My sons remind me that some lawnmowers are more powerful.) the class provides a reasonably safe but challenging experience at reasonable cost. Because competition is so close and spirited, Formula Vee races are sometimes the most watched events during the weekend.
The car's colors will change slightly for 2012 with the rear section remaining "sky blue" but with the front being changed to white. My permanent number in the NEDIV will be 8--the number that signifies "new" in the Bible and many believe is the number of Jesus who made everything new.
