I love getting paid to race, I was able to cover my airline ticket with the winnings and then some with the rilltech coupon for my new exhaust manifold !!!!

Dear Terry,
We will, our bew website is still under construction and we will publish the championship soon, right now we are focusing on the recruitment of sponsors , the website is www.naf1000.com...

Looking forward dude !!!

Hello Amigos,

My name is Jose Gerardo and I have been racing in FB since 2013, started in a Stohr, then an Alan Merten Designed Galmer G-15 that Thomas will be running this season and now finally...

No

I understand Thomas, but we need to maintain this within the scope of those who have a vested interest in the class, Drivers and sponsors.

Gentlemen,

I want to respectfully request that ONLY current and/or future Drivers and constructors state your ideas, opinions are welcomed but should be considered ÿour ¨opinions, what we need...

Excellent feedback, Kudos to all of you, I will send my request in the next few days, can we have a show of hands as to who is willing to participate on this request?.

the Dyno work is done as far...

This may be a question for our ruling body, what would be the actions that would need to be taken in order to create and submit a proposal by the Drivers on what we would like to see as our class...

Nick, you are right, this would be better for all and no doubts for anyone.

The comment was not meant to imply that anything illegal was raced with but rather to control runaway costs, I fully agree with john larue about this one time car count given the special nature of...

Gentlemen,
let's see a show of hands with respect to some cost control for our class, with some driver's swapping their engine between quali sessions and the race the fair thing to do would be to...

the number I have heard is around 11-12000 for GSXR engines, since the maximum of 80 Lbs/Ft of torque is reached at 11k RPM, the 12K was discussed as a way to increase engine life, I think the...

Great comments Guys.

Glad to see that everyone get's the point and thanks for reinforcing the idea of raising the
Minimum weight, in talking with Nick Belling last night we discussed the tipping...

Gentlemen,

this is perhaps where we did not want to go, $$15,000 motors, we are almost at the cost level of FA, there is a couple of guys I know who will actually consider it if it gives a...

Nick,

would it be premature to share what you have been discussing with Tom and Mike B. regarding the future USF1000 Championship rules would be for 2014 ?.

Maybe we can use the series to test...

Great comments Guys, Keep them coming .

Great Feedback Guys !

The issue I have been trying to bring about with all this is one of class participation
there are far more competitors out there with cars that are not being raced and we...

Yes, I guess I went a little off subject with the weight issue.

the point I wanted to make has very little with the discusssion, the weight needs to be kept the way it is, on a piece of paper and...

Agreed,
the issue is one of participation, we have some early heavy conversions and stohr's (34-37)
that are possibly not competing due to a low min weight in the class and this renders them...

thanks Jerry, Great to see you this last week, I am in Europe this week but have discussed with Dave to possibly do the ARRC in November and will discuss possibly moulding a seat for it, we are going...

Nick/Tom,
We will be parked at west lot #17 with the
Rv and our trailer, you are welcome to use it
For the get together if you need a host.
Regards

Jose

Great racing with you guys, see you at RA

Tom/Nick , let's hook up for the f1000 get-together.

Thanks guys !!!

Looks like we had a lucky weekend at sonoma, nothing broke
And everything worked like a charm , a million thanks to my present
Crew Dave "the cassman" Casswell and Trevor Allen "wrench",
My family...

Gentlemen,

Let's try to keep our eye on the ball if we want to move forward, having information
on what the current available chassis weight is good information however let's try to
make this a...

Mike,

what do you think about raising the minimum weight of the class to 1,050 or close to 1,100?, and or setting a power to weight ratio of X amount to control costs?.

I think i will ask a recently retired friend to help me with this project.
What do you think Richard?, you want to tackle it together?.

Jose

Yep, this is what we need.
Can anyone give me feedback as to what the cost per system should be ?,
I was thinking about 600-800 dollars per car plus have
Each region purchase the control system....

Wouldn't it be something if our class could pioneer the use of cockpit safety lights in these times of diminishing worker participation at some events , do you think that people would be willing to...

working on it guys !

any feed back ?, I would perhaps like to start a new thread.

regards
Jose Gerardo

Thanks Lawrence and truly there was never a bad feeling on my part.

I am one for clearing everything without any doubts so that we can all move on without any regrets.

I will still send the...

I will post the video soon guys, rest assured whoever deserves the win will get it, i will do my best to clarify the result so that none of us have any regrets, it is an important win for me , my...

Dear Friends,

I have contacted the stewards regarding the FB results and will provide video and timeline of
screen shots of the restart to them, rest assured that this evidence will provide the...

To All My Fellow Competitors,

Thank you all for being there and making it possible for SCCA to consider the venue for the
2014 Runoffs, I personally would like to congratulate all of you on your...

Matt,

I have been there before as crew for a friend, but this was my first time driving there.

Thanks for the encouraging comments, I try very hard and this is my third track record to date....

Matt,

Can I bother you with the video of this race?.

I would like to see how my lines look for the next time, this was my first time
running at Firebird :).

I will PM my adress and fed...
