Breakdown of the weekends races

This weekends racing has been at best a bit confusing. I was with AJ and Jens recently and got a better clarification as to the races and what counts to what series.

Race 1 Saturday: Is the first race in the Summit Point Bill Scott Formula Car Series event. It will serve as the FRCCA ARS and FRCCA Bill Scott mini series pole sprint. Therefore you get points towards the Summit Point Bill Scott Series.

Race 2 Saturday: Is the second race in the Summit Point Bill Scott Formula Car Series event. It is an FRCCA ARS points race (#2 for 2008) and the first FRCCA Mini Series points race.

Race 3 Sunday: Is the third race in the Summit Point Bill Scott Formula Car Series event. It is an FRCCA ARS points race (#3 for 2008) and the second of the FRCCA mini series points race.

Now if that is clear let me continue...Our classes are now officially recognized (FT, F1600 & FPA) by the Summit Point Bill Scott Formula Car Series and we will be eligible for the Summit Point series end of year awards. The Summit Point Bill Scott Formula Car Series is using a different points paying platform. I will try and clarify that system for you as I can.

What does all of this mean ... these races all count for something, somewhere, some how. It also it good that our club classes are now recognized by the series hosting the event. Just a special note - You car must go through the FRCCA tech to race. It may be reviewed by someone from the BSFCS but our rules will be the rules for our club classes. In other words our belt and no on-board fire system required rules will stand. If yoou have any issues during the day please come and get me.

Englishtown Date Change

The race at Englishtown, NJ has been changed from June 15 & 15 to June 28 & 29. Please update your calendars.

FRCCA GROWTH FOR 2008

The growth in the Tyro division is very good to see as this is the best avenue of getting the FRCCA to continue to expand and getting the best kept secret of formula car racing out to the racing community.

The following is an alpha list of Tyros we will see racing this season; R. Beard (Reynard), J. Caparosa (Lola), P. Erwin (Merlyn), M. Kenney (Crossle), J. Krause (Lola), G. Lane (M.R.E.), D. Leano (Caldwell), C. Pedersen (P.R.S.), Persa/Poirier (Zink), A. Stoeckert (Zink), L. Tannenbaum (No Car), and C.Volpe(Crossle).

Then there are those drivers that are "Talking the Talk". Hopefully, they will "Walk the Walk"; they are J. Amos (Van Diemen), V. Dolgetta (Van Diemen), S. Garito (Reynard), J. Kobza (Van Diemen), J. McNichol (Van Diemen), G. Russel (Van Diemen), C. Schroeder (Van Diemen), Fred VI ( No car), J. Tedesco (Citation), C. Terranova (Macon), D. Yaakov (Homemade), J. Zeller (Lola).
