Runoffs!

National Championship is Coming Soon!

Registration for the National Championship Runoffs is coming up in just 3 days!
http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...160A8623CFF2DD

The online entry fee is $550 and you’ll want to get in early so you can reserve a paddock spot. The registration fee is fully refundable until September 3 so there is little risk in signing up early. There are currently 27 drivers that have earned an invitation with another six or seven drivers that are extremely close to qualifying. If you aren’t qualified yet, it’s still not too late to earn an invitation at any of the remaining national events:

If you aren’t sure if you’re in or not, refer to the current points standings: http://scca.cdn.racersites.com/prod/...ional-0716.pdf
Also, double-check with your division’s points keeper to see what you need to get qualified.

Most importantly, the National Championship Runoffs will also determine the US Formula 1000 Championship presented by Hoosier Racing Tires, Sunoco Race Fuels, George Dean Racing Engines, Jongbloed Racing Wheels, Hyperco, LS Motorsports, Geartronics, and Neo Sport Camera overall Champion! Lawrence Loshak has already won the US Formula 1000 Championship East but he is closely followed by Glenn Cooper and Alex Mayer, and West drivers Jose Gerardo and Lucian Pancea also have a shot at the overall championship. With double points available, the overall Championship could be won by a dark horse, if one of the favorites were to encounter trouble. It could come down to the very last lap!

Schedule for the Runoffs:
July 24- 9am –registration opens
August 23- midnight- entry fee increases to $750
September 3-midnight- last day for full refund
September 16- 2:50 pm- Practice
September 17- 2:50 pm- Qualifying 1
September 18- 5:30 pm- Qualifying 2
September 19- 10:40 am- Qualifying 3
September 20- 9:45 am- Championship Race!

Prizes at the Season Finale
The prize fund is currently being determined so look for an upcoming announcement!

Registration is open!
We're up to 10 cars already. I hope we can beat last year's 15 entries!

[Wren]

I think we need a general formula car discussion for the runoffs entry list.

The entry allowances should make this an interesting one. DaveW in FV?

Someone want to loan me a car to run something else???

[crowe motorsports]

The best I have is a 2nd in 2009 in DSR. But if I had one of those coveted 1st places I would stack the deck in another class.

Brian since your dad is the king/guru/innovator of F500 surely you have one of those laying around or a least a customer car to put you in the game for a duel effort. So go for it!

[Jnovak]

We do have a potentially very good f500 car in our shop. However it needs a rebuild and there is no time to make this happen before the Runoffs.

Impressive entry list so far.. 20 cars and still more drivers planning to register

http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...160A8623CFF2DD

Notice scca national champion Brandon Dixon just recently registered.

[Nicholas Belling]

The newly crowned US Formula 1000 West Champion, Lucian Pancea just registered as well driver christopher Ash has recently registered.

Still a few more drivers planning on registering late.

This will be a spectacular event crowning for the 1st time in history the US Formula 1000 Nationwide Champion.

If you are not a driver but interested in attending.. this will be the race to watch.

Look forward to seeing everyone at the track.

Registration is still open! The entry fee is $550 until midnight this Friday, August 23rd. After that, the entry goes up to $750 so get your entry in soon!

There are currently 23 drivers entered. If all drivers make it and take the green flag this race will break another record. Not only will it exceed the entries from 2012 (15), it will exceed the largest Formula 1000 field ever, which was 19 drivers at Circuit of the Americas in March of this year. 23 entries in Formula 1000 equals or exceeds all Formula classes except F500 and FV. In fact, it exceeds many of the other SCCA classes!
The class is showing some impressive growth that we hope to continue into 2014!

[Mike B]

Don't forget, at midnight tonight the entry fee goes from $550 to $750. Even if you're on the fence or are still trying to get qualified, save yourself $200 and register now. You still have time later for a full refund if you can't make it.

We're up to 24 entries:

[Richard Dziak]

Great line-up of entries. East meets West, wow, this is going to be very exciting indeed.

Any predictions for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers?

Is Las Vegas making book on this race?

It would be great to see who, of these top quality drivers registered are predicted to take the podium.

I see Brandon Dixon in the line-up. Now this is getting very exciting.

[Jnovak]

This is going to be a great race. There are 6 or 7 guys capable of winning. I think it will be ferocious racing.

[Mike Devins]

Only 10 classes with more cars entered! Amazing.

[Jasonrmbell]

Finished Second at High Plains Last Chance Nationals today so my Entry is confirmed. Points collected !!

[Mike B]

So, did anyone else get their new Sportscar magazine today? Does anyone know Jeff Zurschmeide personally? Or better yet, is anyone within arms reach of him?

[Wren]

Upset they didn't pick you?

[Daryl DeArman]

I'm impressed with 45 FB drivers you have more than half attending the RunOffs.

A class still in its' infancy and more FBs have turned a wheel at a Major/National than BSpec, CSR, DSR, FE, GT3, STL, S2, T1, T2 and T3.

[Mike B]

Upset they didn't pick you?

Given the complete lack of knowledge, I'm surprised he didn't!

[BURKY]

So, who is this Brandon Davis guy

[glenn cooper]

there's a SM guy by that name.
I spoke w/ Jeff when he called me a few weeks ago.
He had no idea Brandon had not run and that JRO was now owning that car, which is fine, but wow - Mistakes Ahoy in that article!!
They shoulda got w/ me on proof reading...

[BURKY]

I think its freakin awesome to see that many FB's will be at the Runoffs. Good luck to all you guys. Wish we were going!

Great, Mike hates it and I get quoted

[Wren]

They quoted that Davis guy also.

Dudeman DID finish 2nd last year!

Dudeman DID finish 2nd last year!

And I shared the podium with Jake Latham, not Lucian Pancea.

[JakeL]

See you all there. I'm practicing my Romanian accent.

- Lucian Latham

[Thomas Copeland]

I just noticed the entries went down to 23 from 24.

[Richard Dziak]

Who did SportsCar Magazine select as the top 3 in FB at the runoffs?

[Jnovak]

Who did SportsCar Magazine select as the top 3 in FB at the runoffs?

1. Brandon Dixon
2. Brian Novak
3. Lawrence Loshak

[glenn cooper]

RFR driver Tim Pierce had to pull his entry. Something about a hangnail...

j/k, he broke a fibula walking across his front lawn or something like that.

[Revs2-12k]

Yes, I can confirm, Tim is unfortunately out for a good number of weeks.

Talked with him today and he's hoping to make the ARRC.
