 Formula V Air Racing is a competitive
motorsport where race pilots flying
custom-built airplanes race one another around an aerial oval race course
marked out with pylons. Formula V air races are held as a feature attraction
at major airshows around the USA. The raceplanes can reach lap speeds of
over 170 Mph. |

V mourns loss
Formula Vee is
sad to report that Air racing competitor Charlie Terry of Long Island New
York has passed away. . He competed in International Formula One Air Racing
and Formula Vee Air Racing over several decades. He won the F/V National
Championship in 1985 and came close several other times. He competed in the
first F/V race and the last F/V race and competed in almost all the rest
thru the decades. He was F/V president for several years and certainly was
an asset to air racing and kept F/V going thru some very trying times.

  I would like to officially announce the posthumous awarding of the Formula Vee National Championship Race at Seymour, Indiana to John Inman of Conroe, Texas. After reviewing the records, John deserves credit where it's due. He won the Championship race that year in Sonerai #88 which was conducted with an FAA waiver, race officials, FAA officials, pylon judges, timers and ballast for John. The Championship was awarded 2 other years using the same criteria. David Patterson...Formula V president
