Atlanta March Major - Swift Fest!

[Steve Bamford]

Looking at the entry list for FF there are 10 FF's entered so far with 8 being Swifts in Group 1.

Swifts can have their own race or so it seems.

Are you going to add a Mygale to that list?

[Steve Bamford]

Possibly if all goes as planned. Looks like a good turn out so far for the FF group with more entries to come.

I really want to see the Standing Start for the FB race.

[mblanc]

I don't think you counted right, I see 9 Swifts, 11 total

And a preponderance of Fords.

At the time there were only 10 entered. I don't recall if you were on the list or not Marc so maybe you are the 9th now.

I'm adding a Piper to that list

[Garey Guzman]

Wishful entry, hoping my car is back together but the weather here has been awful!

[Swift17]

........ will soon be added
Jason Generotti

[Dennis Valet]

For how long has Livingston had a spectrum?

[andyllc]

I hope this many cars come to play for VIR. I know of two more that will be added for that event.

[Steve Bamford]

For how long has Livingston had a spectrum?

Did he use Voss's at Summit last year? Maybe I am totally messed up but I thought that was the case.

I am still amazed only 7 FB cars so far with their own run group.

[Raceworks]

For how long has Livingston had a spectrum?

He picked it up just before Homestead.

[Purple Frog]

Aren't 7 active FBs about all there are in the East?

[Steve Bamford]

He picked it up just before Homestead.

That's great news for him. Congrats.

[lc3]

I am trying to make it.

I rented Voss's car for Jason last year at Summit Point at the year's end as a reward/present for his 2014 Major's campaign. He loved it, not fair though,

It was like having ..... just one "date" with the Captain of the Cheerleaders !

Hopefully we will run both on separate days as a good test on them.

[efoxfield]

Does anyone know how many DB6s were made. It looks eight are entered for Atlanta.
Ed

[Garey Guzman]

I seem to recall one of the chassis fabricators saying more than 50 DB6s. I think the last 7 were built in 1993.

[Garey Guzman]

Now that I've thought about it, I think HE built 50-something....

[Steve Bamford]

15 FF's entered so far. Looks like lots of Fire power including multiple Runoff winners.

Going to be interesting with 32 cars total in the group so far with a strong FV turnout as well.

Lewis Cooper

Can we add you to the list to have another National champ at the event?

[Wes Allen]

I was trying to make this event but business has got in the way. Sounds like it will be a great weekend. Tim Wise has a lot of the Swift history maybe he can chime in?

[SEComposites]

The truth is all the Kent cars are using this race as a first test for the Kentledge Cup!

[Garey Guzman]

The truth is all the Kent cars are using this race as a first test for the Kentledge Cup!

Except for the 2 guys who thought of it!!

[SEComposites]

Well Lee and I want to give everyone else a chance to be honest. We're probably gonna finish 1 - 2 as it is anyway. Me ahead of Lee obviously.

[Wes Allen]

So my source tells me 72 frames were made, however not all were made into cars. From 1989-1993. All were originally FC.

With the event now here and the test day underway, I would love to hear any news from the paddock today. Who is fast? Anybody show up with any surprises (different cars, different engines, etc)?
Who is running what tire?

Rain, rain & more rain here today. Cold as well, in the forties. Not many cars taking part in the test day. Exclusive has their guys out on track and came in earlier due to rivers crossing the track during one of the sessions.

I don't see Tim's name on the registration anymore and I don't think JR2 is running this weekend.

We have the new pro tires, I would guess Exclusive will run them as well. I am not sure anyone in a Swift will have them.

Note: You guys need to exercise extreme caution transversing the river flowing across the track from left to right as you're approaching turn 5. It will continue to flow even after the track has dried everywhere else. Rd Atl is one of my favorite tracks but I've never understood why there isn't a culvert under there.

They will not work on db-1 ... can't get the camber Oh well ...will be using (if there is sun) our last set of Goodyears R160s.........
