Formula Junior Historics North American 2026 Schedule Updates

The Formula Junior 2026 racing schedule is set.  The season kicks off in California with the Velocity Invitational at Sonoma/Sears Point Raceway on May 29-31.  There are over 23 FJ's already registered and once again we will have a FJ only race group.  Rich Sptirz - based in Denver and races a Huffaker front engine FJ - is the event coordinator for both Velocity and Monterey and is responsible for the significant number of registrations and planning.  Following Velocity the schedule moves to the Monterey Pre-Historics on August 8-9 at WeatherTech/Laguna Seca Raceway and the following week-August 12-15 for the Monterey Motorsports Reunion.  FJ will again have a full grid with over 24 cars registered, including 5 cars being shipped from the UK for the event and a FJ only grid.

The schedule then moves to Connecticut to Lime Rock Park September 4-7 for Historic Festival 44.  Registration for Lime Rock just opened mid-February, but we are expecting another 24+ FJ field and once again Formula Junior will have its own run group for the Jim Hayes Memorial Race.  BJ Colaric - based by Lime rock and races a front engine Lola FJ - will be the event coordinator for Lime Rock and Watkins Glen.  Following the Lime Rock Historics, we will move a few hours north the next weekend to Watkins Glen, NY September 10-13 with SVRA.  This event is one of the the "Vintage" races on the SVRA calendar and we had a great turnout in 2025 with some exceptional track time and races.  Feel free to contact me for information on the schedule, registration or logistics.

All race information for 2026 and beyond will be posted on the FJHNA Facebook page (Formula Junior Historics North America) - with over 870 members - and our website FJHNA.COM.  For those new to formula Junior we have a great video that was produced in 2024 at the Velocity Invitational on the history of JF's and current races/drivers.  Take a look and come race with us.
