Well, always one to throw in my own two cents... Up here in Canada,
Formula Ford is mainly responsible for the demise of Jrs.
They're cheaper to race and cheaper to maintain.
We held a feature for Formula Jrs. at our Mosport event the 1st weekend
in June. - Along with the usual Monopost Racing grid, they got their own
feature race...other than 5 from our own club (VARAC), only 3 came from
the states.
Needless to say it was a less than stirring race.
Why didn't they come when they were a feature? Beats me
