SVRA has scheduled two "FF Reunion" races for the upcoming Indy weekend. They are scheduled for Sunday.
There are over 80 entries in FF for the weekend and they are divided into two groups, Group 2a and Group 2b.
Anyone know how the FF Reunion races will be set? Will they take best finishes of the two groups and combine them? Or, something else?
Thanks in advance :greenflag:
Two years ago the FF special grid was made up from the top finishers in each of the three run groups' final races. Plus a few others when it turned out some of those selected couldn't run.
The initial schedule had a final Feature race and I was told it was going to be the top halves of the 2 groups. With the changes, that's a reasonable guess.Quote:

Rick Parent will likely know too.
Either way, we're racing at Indy! :D:D:D:D
From Saturday's races, the Sunday races will be split up into the top 50% of finishers from both groups on Saturday go into the "fast group" and the bottom 50% of finishers in both groups on Saturday go into the "slower group" Sunday races.
NO SANDBAGGING ! ;)
If the fastest car in the event DNFs on saturday... does it get put in the slow group on Sunday? :confused:
Thanks for the clarification!Quote:

Maybe not as embarrassing as being the slowest fast person...Quote:

I'm good with being able to say either (although I have a preference, despite the long shot!)
I'm just going so I can kiss the bricks. Hopefully while I'm not still strapped in.
The Speedway photographers will almost certainly be able to provide a photo of you crossing the yard of bricks at speed. I got mine a couple of years ago at what I thought was a reasonable cost.
Well, this time just make sure the bottom of the car is all the same, just in case. Not like last time.Quote:

Cars have been placed in group 2A or 2B randomly in order based on date entered and by class, A, B, A, B and so on. There will be FF, CF and PCF classes in both groups split evenly.
All cars will race in group through their feature race on Saturday, for Sunday the top 50% of finishers from Saturday's Race in both groups will race in the FF (R2) race after lunch, the bottom 50% of finishers will race in the FF race Sunday before lunch (R1).
Awards will be given to the top 3 finishers in class for both run groups.
Grid Sheets for Sunday’s races will be posted Saturday afternoon and may be found in the results room.
FF Features and Fan Walk,
Sunday lunchtime Flow Chart
11:35, Feature Race 1 starts
11:50, All Feature Race 2 cars grid up.
12:00, Feature Race 1 ends, all cars will be sent to the podium.
12:10, Feature Race 2 move to the Hot Pits.
12:15, Fans released to meet the drivers and take pictures.
12:45, Hot Pits cleared for start of race.
1:00, Start Feature Race 2
Seems like the best way to grid based on all the variables. Thanks Ralph
Thanks Ralph! Now we all don't have to bug Rick!Quote:
