While Formula Ford has received its due in print and archival footage, one area that has lacked is the one-on-one recorded interviews with some within the sport that have made it what it is for the last 50 years- hearing the voices, the charm, the characters... Kent-ish hopes to provide that going forward with the first ever podcast devoted solely to FF racing and the people who have made it all happen. Oh, and regarding the name of the podcast- most have run FF standard Kent motors. Some of those been iffy, others predated the Kent with the Cortina...so ‘ish’ sums it up nicer than the packaging of the 1982 PRS.

They say don't meet your heroes.
I'm not sure who 'they' are, but they obviously don't know Jimmy Vasser. The 1986 SCCA Runoffs National Champion and 1996 PPG/CART IndyCar champ was a pleasure to interview on VERY, VERY short notice, and his love for the sport comes out crystal clear after all these years, so much so that it looks like you may see him back in a Formula Ford very soon.
In this episode we discuss winning the Runoffs, being the first Team USA Scholarship recipient, running the ultra-rare Lanan Formula Ford, and of course- how good Formula Ford racers make excellent IndyCar team owners.
I hope you are all well and that you're enjoying Kent-ish. Feel free to drop me a line.
Cheers,
JD

Believe it or not I was at Jimmy’s first FF race at Sears that he speaks of. I actually talked to him. I ran into him in 1993 in SF which was his first Indycar race. I talked him into getting my the all access pit pass. My brush with greatness!!!!

That was a great interview. Jimmy is the man and was very close to my late partner Joh Della Penna. It was so fun watching him do his thing.💪💪💪
