I counted 15 FF at Grattan this past weekend.

RE: Car Counts Down. You may recall the recent thread/rant on San Francisco Region cutting time because of low (~22) FF car counts. At the last regional we had 32 total cars (FF/SF/CF)such that at the last BOD meeting, they agreed to go back to equal time sessions for every group. This was after the FF groups met with a BOD member/FF racer during the race weekend and came to the agreement that the earlier "quality over quantity" compromise generally sucked.

Hey Dave nice info, But the concern here is about
Formula Ford.
Entry's are about 50% down from 2002 in Cen. Div.
Thats a BIG number.

Justin P. in Don's Piper reset the Blackhawk Farms Race Lap Record.

[Dave Hopple]

John, I understand the concern, just looking at the big picture, all the classes are down in participation in the Cen-Div so far. To single out one class (not just FF) and say it is "dead" is unfair or could be inacurate IMHO.

-Dave

P.S. Corner Workers are in short supply also

[PiperFF]

Dave, Agreed,but I just was hearing this from a few workers and it hit Home.Thanks Dave see you at the Sprints JV
