“A Lifelong Love of Formula Junior” written by Art Hebert for Victory Lane Magazine
January 1st, 2022
“Looking back I had forgotten that my very first race was in a Formula Junior.
In the mid 1980s my dad, Bob Hebert, called and asked if I had heard anything about something called “vintage racing.” Nope, I hadn’t. He said he found an old race car in Vermont that we should look at. So, on a snowy winter day, we went to Vermont and bought a 1959 Moorland Formula Junior.” (pg 45 – 46)
To celebrate the new Formula Junior races and all new nationwide Formula Junior Championship opening this year, Art was asked to share his experiences racing Formula Junior.
