Welcome

Welcome to Haydon Racing! The posting schedule will be somewhere between "as often as possible" and "as often as necessary" -- tempered with a bit of "whenever something happens." Coming attractions include my racing schedule, race results, points standings, and any interesting developments.

We'll begin with a bit about the car. It's a 1979 Tiga Formula Ford 1600. Tigas were designed and built in England by former F1 racers Tim Schenken (Ti-) and Howden Ganley (-ga). This particular car was campaigned by the factory in England, then converted to FFA-80 (American) specs before being shipped to the US.

Former drivers of my car include Tim Lee-Davey (GB), Bruce Lindstrand, Dean Elston, and Pete Wood. It was featured on the cover of Autosport magazine in 1980. The current paint scheme (a tribute to the Gurney Eagles of the '60s) is thanks to Web Temple of WST Arts.

Stick around!
