The CITATION/ ZINK Formula Vee can trace its ancestry back to the 60's and the early days of FV. Ed Zink was there at the beginning and cars bearing his name carried drivers to many National Championships, a truly impressive record spanning of 3 decades. Citation Engineering began building Zink Formula Vees in 1978. Prior to 1978, it sold and serviced various Zink models.
The long association of Ed Zink and Steve Lathrop of Citation Engineering resulted in the current CITATION/ ZINK FV, an evolution of the Zink Z-18. Many of the unique Zink features were combined with the new ideas from engineer Lathrop to produce this car.
Scott Rubenzer, who drove the original car of this latest design, finished first in the car's first race. In 1985, Scott was FV National Champion. The victories continued over the years at both the Regional and National levels, in all divisions.
Campbell Motorsport purchased the Formula Vee project from Citation Engineering in February 1992. Campbell Motorsport builds the Citation along with the Lazer FV, which we have been building since 1987. With the help of many people along the way, the Citation has continued to evolve and improve. Bodywork changes, exhaust system improvements, and current shock absorber technology have kept the already excellent car among the finest, best handling, and fastest in class. It has successfully accommodated drivers of many sizes and weights- often at or near minimum class weight.
The Citation is a proven package that has been successful in all divisions in the hands of many drivers. It has quietly continued to evolve and change and will lead the way for a long time.
