1986 SCCA Pro Formula Atlantic at Lime Rock

Honest to goodness real Formula Atlantics, with BD series Ford Cosworths! Ground affect has arrived in the minor leagues, though. Sure makes 'em quick. Diamond P AmSptCavalcade awesomeness as Brock takes Steve for a ride in a US-market Ford Sierra (complete with the lame name and lame engine we got over here) around the circuit. Calvin Fish and Scott Goodyear. Steve Shelton, too (I'm SEDIV, always cheer for my own, even when they're from Florida!). There's even a Dallenbach in there somewhere. Joe Stimola's still hanging around, crew chief for somebody. And whatever happened to Michael Greenfield, anyway? Back then, we thought he was going somewhere. Oh, and the organizers still think flat-bottomed cars "make the rockin' world go 'round" (or at least will get the entry list up), so there's two classes. I kind of hate that they didn't do a standing start, though. For a long time, Pro FA was the only place you could see one in the US.

I saw Calvin Fish at Lime Rock last year at the IMSA races. He had stepped out of the press room to get a bite at the food stand.

Greenfield eventually went to IndyCar as a owner-driver, had a brutal accident at Nazareth that pretty much offset his career, eventually recovered and came back and did a couple of one-off races for Dale Coyne, then tried to enter the Indy 500, again as a driver-owner, with a pushrod engine similar to the 400i Illmor/Mercedes-Benz and the Menard/Buick V6 that failed miserably then fell off the face of the earth completely.

I was at this race with my dad. That weekend was with Trans Am and Paul Newman got his first Trans Am win. My dad bought Scott Goodyear's Ralt RT-4. Greenfield practiced at 46.9 which wasn't done again for 25 years. I believe Stimola was running Chris Clark at that race

What ever happened to the cars? I remember when they sold them. The guy bought the trailer and both cars. I always wondered how he did racing them. I had some good memories working on the Team that year. The guys were like family.

[@paullecain8587]

@@whatsup7342 Not sure nowadays. My dad bought one of Scott's cars from Ed Healy in Massachusetts. Then sold it to a guy in PA in 1993 when he bought a DB-4.

LOL, Calvin Fish with a mullet!

I was wondering if anyone had the 1998 Mid Ohio runoffs race for the SSB race, it was awesome and I got an interview, all of my vhs race tapes got overdone with disney stuff, oh well, any help would be great to find the old SpeedVision archives Thanks jj

Good stuff, but then you compare this technology to the ProMazda of the 2000's....
