What the H**L is RCFFS Anyway?

[Joe Marcinski]

Hi,

Since we announced the change in the series name to Right Coast Formula F Series from DUFFUS, we have had quite a few e-mails and phone calls asking for some clarity. Mike Rand and I have put together what you will read below in order to provide that clarity.

First, the Right Coast Formula F Series is not affiliated in any way with the recently announced VRG Royale FF Challenge Series. The VRG series is a vintage rules oriented series and we sincerely wish them well for the 2016 season.

So, RCFFS stands for Right Coast Formula F Series, the new name for what has been known as DUFFUS since being initiated in 2013.

RCFFS is not meant to slight or disparage the Left Coast aka California in any way, it is simply to define where we are scheduling races.

RCFFS is NOT a points or purse paying series, but is a format for safe and fun weekend race events featuring paddock camaraderie and good track time.

This lack of points gathering and score keeping certainly doesn't mean the races are any less hard fought, but it does negate the need to try and offer any real or perceived "level playing field".

Due to the emphasis on fun and not points we encourage any and all FF and CF cars and drivers to run on whatever tires each prefers. The only requirement being that CF cars must run on either hard compound slicks or treaded or shaved street radials.

The usual CF rule requiring at least one end of the car being outboard suspension is to be adhered to.

To reiterate, ALL FF and CF cars and drivers are invited to participate and both Ford Cortina & Kent 1,600 cc and Honda Fit 1,500 cc motors restricted per current SCCA rules are allowed. Should someone choose to install a Honda motor in their 1970 Titan Mk6 and run the stickiest slicks available, have at it. Alternatively should someone want to install their home built Kent into a 2015 Mygale and mount shaved street radials, welcome aboard!

We are inclusive of any and all FF and CF cars on whatever tires the entrant prefers on the standard 5.5" x 13" FF/CF rim.

We will keep track of the classes, tires, etc. and award kill stickers and trophies accordingly.

Hopefully that answers all the questions, but if not please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thanks,

Joe Marcinski
