DUFFUS #3 at Summit Point
Hi,
Registration for DUFFUS #3 at Summit Point with the Washington DC Region MARRS Formula Fest finale will open on Sunday, September 7 on the DLB Racing site. The race is on October 4 & 5 at Summit Point on the Summit Point main circuit.
The weekend schedule will have us as the first run group. The FF/CF group will be running a single qualifying session on Saturday morning with the Wings & Things race group. On Saturday afternoon we will again run a 10 lap MARRS points race in combination with the Wings & Things race group.
On Sunday the Wings & Things group will be split into Wings & Things in a separate run group and a separate group for the FF/CF group. On Sunday morning there will be an 18 lap MARRS points race for each group; W&T's & FF/CF. Immediately following the lunch break on Sunday, there will be a bonus race (I believe it is 16 laps, but I will confirm that) for both the W&T's followed by the FF/CF bonus race.
Thanks to some very generous contributors like Quicksilver Race Engines, Speed Seat and Larry Oliver; we will have some prizes and awards besides the usual unique DUFFUS trophies.
We are hoping to exceed our car count of 18 FF/CF's taking the green flag from last seasons Formula Fest (the DUFFUS prequel). We will have a FF/CF participant's meeting on Saturday afternoon after the first race to discuss DUFFUS for 2015.
I consider DUFFUS 2014 thus far to be an attendance failure (which I have been a party to), but an artistic success. All the drivers who have run with us have had a great time and we have had some great racing. We have the beginnings of a plan for next season and are anxious to discuss them with drivers who are seriously interested in racing with DUFFUS. We have been approached by several groups who have asked it we would be willing to run with them next season.
So, please jump in here and let us know if you plan on coming so that we can make sure there are paddock spaces available.
Thanks,
Joe Marcinski
DUFFUS #3 at Summit Point
HI,
It is now just about two weeks before the MARRS Formula Fest & DUFFUS #3 race at Summit Point. We have 14 FF/CF entries and as JD has said, we are really hoping for another 5 to 10 cars. I am hoping that Steve Roux, Bill Valet, Will Velkoff and Gary Gecelter will be able to join us after we see how the NARRC Runoffs at Lime Rock go this weekend. Maybe we can get Alan Walker, Alan VanDeweghe and Jim MacNicol to come as well.
The DUFFI are planning a meeting for Saturday afternoon after the first race so we can talk about plans for possibly doing this again next year. We have some ideas that we want to run by you all to see if we can make a stronger effort for next season.
We really hope to see you there.

DUFFUS #3 at Summit Point
It is now five days before the race weekend. We currently have 11 Club Fords and 6 Formula F's entered for DUFFUS #3/MARRS Formula Fest. The WDCR Region and Summit Point Raceway have decided to make the bonus race for our group be the feature race of the weekend which happens to be the 45 anniversary of the WDCR/Summit Point relationship.
The winner of this race will be presented with the WDCR Directors Cup and a special 45th anniversary trophy from Summit Point Raceway.
We are hoping that another 5 or 6 drivers who have inquired about the race will choose to come and race with us. Please do that. We will do everything we possibly can to provide you will a great weekend and you will have a really good time. We will be having a drivers meeting after the sprint race on Saturday to discuss the possibility of doing DUFFUS again in 2015. We will be providing the worlds best chicken wings from Big Daddy's BBQ. However, you will be required to sign a waiver prior to eating as DUFFUS is not responsible if you should develop some significant dependency or craving for these wings!
If you should have any questions please don't hesitate to call me at 540-686-0335.
Thanks,
Joe Marcinski
