I just submitted the following
GCR 3.5.2 states "D. It is preferable not to combine FA, FB, FC, FE, and FM with FV and/
or F500. FV may be combined with F500." wording change from "preferable not" to "prohibited"
This is a serious safety issue with a 20-35% speed difference bewtween all open wheel classes and the FVs.
Tracking #10074
We will see
I am not advocating FF, FV and/or F500s to
run with SRFs. I was told that the Southwest division has decided to run FVs and F500s with SRFs. I believe that is a really bad idea and will be at the next meeting to voice my concerns on the issue. These three classes should continue to run together as they have in our division for a loonnnggg time with no out of the ordinary issues.
BTW, yes I have changed my tune on
running the small formula cars with SRFs..Some folks have expressed bad experiences with this grouping and I respect their perspective.
Yes..You are reading that right
Anytime we run inches apart, wheel to wheel we are putting each other at risk...that is what we do. I make that statement to illustrate a point that we had better match up the cars properly and don't assume that race car drivers can or will provide ample room to avoid any contact.
