7/22 - PRICE REDUCED: 2012 F2000 Van Diemen Elan DP08 - available
7/20 - ArmsUp Motorsports USF2000 - 3 available

So last 2 weeks:
USF2000 - 8 cars available
FC - 4 cars available (2 are high end)

I didn't count rollers or projects (2)

So, out of 12 cars available only 2 are entry level and only 4 can be raced club.....

I call 8 USF v 4 club - "more USF"..... but I ran out of fingers...

I just posted 6 above. There are more including the 2 or so Momentum cars, you can find them. They are out there and available, the problem is not the car availability or the price of them to get in. In fact, these prices are as low as they ever have been. Championship winning cars for 50k? And all those I posted above are club legal...

Am I missing something? Indy sure, but all I ever see are empty stands at USF2000 races, even on street courses, and I never see it on TV. Not to disparage the series or anything, there are lots of cars and close racing so it seems really fun to be involved with but it doesn't have many more spectators than the average club race from the looks of things. Less in fact if the more festival-type club racing events count. Just a lot more money involved and the super professional atmosphere.

I took this in Toronto about 2 hours after the USF race. Crowd was solid.

Here is what is missing from club racing in one photo. Need more father/son or just guys wrenching themselves and passing it onto their kids. The funnel system for karts will move onto USF/F4/etc. We need more of this:

Praying for a safe event. Someone is going to get killed one day in that kind of disparity. I wouldn't want to be on either end of that spectrum of closing speeds.

What you mean 49 seconds in a 2 minute lap is too much disparity. I think it would make it easier for the fast guys to get by the slow ones as long as mirrors are watched and common sense prevails (just kidding that is truly insane). But that is the reality of mixed class racing and it is not that great.

? who driving what was taken out?

An I guess you mean you were taken out by the slow FV guy. At least that is how I read it.

[jim morgan]

correct reading 5 car ff train meets slow fv at bustop. Not much he could have done other than not spin

Intake is back and car is going back together this weekend/early next week. Plenty of time, ill be at njmp. Maybe the finale if it gets figured out. If it is going to be at Summit as rumored in October, I think you will get a great turnout of local guys here.
