Jim, just converted that one about two weeks ago. Your copy appears to be higher quality. Great stuff! Dave

Dave, I was working from a master VHS original obtained from SpeedVision. Did you post yours yet? Jim

Nope. Perfect timing. I have the Quad Cities race from Ed converted too. I try to compress them a bit first but have been working on my wings and letting everything else slide a bit. Great to have steady stream of FV stuff where there was very little. Dave

Guys, this is great that this stuff can emerge for everyone to see. Jim was there for the 20 year plus run of FV, I was there for 14 of those years as well. Jim is the absolute historian on all things FV, and was also an official, a team owner, and a builder. It is great to see these contributions...I have been trying to hold together some sort of a core group since the FV demise, and it is encouraging to see what is happening now. Thanks Dave, Jim, Joe, Jeff, Matt, Neil, and all others who are getting excited about doing something to get Supervee off the ground...!!

Thanks for sticking with it it, Ed. Without that you would not have picked us up as stragglers.

That is fantastic, thank you for posting! Now I have to go spend the night out in the garage working on the airplane instead of sleeping...
Hi Ed, What ever happened to those inflatable pylons?!?!

Watched them both again last night - this time with my wife.The comments by the SpeedVision hosts were quite entertaining and had us both laughing. I expected a "Boom goes the dynamite" in there.

I've been using my 'stay at home' time productively on a number of projects - one of which is digitizing a stack of VHS tapes of Formula V air races in the 1980's & 1990's. The first one I did was of the IF1 and Formula V air races at Albuquerque NM in June 1988. It's up on YouTube at
Next up will be the Formula V air races at the 1993 Dayton Ohio airshow.
