I'm writing this in F1000 because that is where I belong (not the Dallara).
After reading the article, I was impressed with the package, but more so, irritated.
1) $100,000 price tag being subsidized to $67,500 for 26 cars, just enough to get a series going. How can they call that Formula Ford 2000? Why didn't they simply build the car and series to F3 rules? Who owns the Formula Ford 2000 name? Does SCCA?
2) Thank God we didn't allow carbon chassis in F1000.
3) Our cars will be quicker and significantly cheaper. I have no problem running at our expected speeds in a well designed tube frame with correctly designed crushable structures.
4) Those new Dallara cars will probably never get to club racing. They might be classified in FA but down in power and aero. I hope SCCA Pro is not the sanctioning body. I do not at all want to subsidize their series because this is our competition.
5) It seems Jon Baytos is trying to outmaneuver Van Diemen now with this series. It sure looks like it's all about the money.
