The 40th Anniversary of the Formula Ford Racing Class took place at
Road America in mid-July. There were a number of Midwestern Council
competitors in attendance. Notably, Jack Bartelt and his Lola T540 were
featured in the Lola tent. Pete Wood commented on the race, “Oh, for
those who weren’t there, the race was a ball. 98 cars started, I went
from 53rd to 35th in class with plenty of action along the way. Not for
the faint of heart, nor would I do it weekly.”
