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.

Episode 7 stars one of my favorite individuals, a man who is larger than life, fun loving and quick to help those at the track. Tony made his start in a 1983 Reynard and later raced a hybrid Swift in his native New Zealand. He also competed in Europe for a season and now runs Horizon Racing and Performance - a restoration and prep shop in Puyallup, Washington. He debuted a restored Caldwell D9 in 2019, making him one of a handful of people to have raced FF on three continents (New Zealand is considered part of Oceania, for my geography lovers.)
Tony has also driven some of the rarest cars on earth, including Ken Miles' famous MG 'Flying Shingle.'
See you next week, where my guest will be the man who organized the FF50th at Road America this past September, Steve Beeler.
Cheers,
JD
