As noted elsewhere, race registration for the first two rounds of the US Formula 1000 Championship East is now open! Rounds 1 and 2 will take place at Road Atlanta on March 22-23. These races are held in conjunction with the SCCA Majors Tour. The US Formula 1000 cars will be grouped with FA and P1. The series has asked the SCCA to provide a split start and they’ve agreed, as long as we show up in sufficient numbers. To get the split start, we need as much participation as possible so please consider entering this race and registering as soon as possible! Entry info and registration is here:

Jason Bell- Stohr (or is that Citation?)
Charles Livingston- JDR
Alex Mayer- JDR

Who else will be there?

Not to speak for him but... Alastair McEwan is planning on being there with the Phoenix...Umbrella girls are probably a given.

You guys are making me nervous! Who else is planning on showing up?

[Mike B]

We're now up to 6 online entries. With others that have indicated they're going:
Jeremy Hill
Jason Slahor
Alastair McEwan
Dore Chaponick

...we might break 10 entries. Hopefully enough to justify a split start.

The silence is deafening, who else is thinking about coming?

[Mike B]

We're now at 11 entries. Respectable, but I know we can do better. Who else?

Split start I hope with 10 FA 10 FB and 7 P1's. Makes a lot of sense and should not be a big deal to accommodate.

That was the plan all along assuming enough FB (F-1000) cars showed up to warrant it (and 10 certainly warrants it). Same thing at all the other events on the F-1000 schedule where you don't get your own run group (Mid-Ohio).
