Otherwise I think the class itself has done what it can to contain costs.
The trouble is the PERCEPTION that it takes $150k plus to run up front
In large part the karting fraternity are primed to belive such things because theirs is a sport where you buy your success...

Icarus is right.
There is an extensive discussion on FF here :-
http://www.theroaringseason.com/show...r-Formula-Ford which is well worth a read for anyone who is interested in the subject.
It pretty well establishes also that the cost to be competitive at the front need be nowhere near the mentioned $150k. Barry Leitch reckons Brendon was run on a shoestring, as were most of the other front runners.
