WOW--
Just checked out the supps. Looks like it'll be a fine weekend.

For those arriving early -- or anytime...... can we select one area of the several paddock areas to keep all the FVCC gang relatively together ?

That info can be then shared here & on the FVCC site so we can all hang out together.

And BTW--- Once again THANKS to all those who worked so hard to put on a great event at PIRC !!

Unfortunately the weekend before the Runoffs.....

[rcarmody]

what runoffs

[Amon]

Ray,

Brian became eligible this past weekend at Grattan! I was nervous because he had
to at least finish the race either day which he did on Saturday, but broke on Sunday
with two laps to go so it would have still counted!

Congrats to all of FV Challenge drivers on a fine season!

Right now, the entry list shows all entries as FV.
Can't tell who is FV and who is Challenge Cup.
Are you doing the same as what you did at Thompson, start and score Challenge Cup cars and FV separate?
The supplemental shows the classes as separate.
This event is also a NeDIV Regional and some of us may bring our FV's to run.

I registered as challenge cup and I only show up in group 7 as challenge cup, although I should also be in group 2. Challenge cup was a separate choice on the bottom of the registration.

So, there are 10 FV's in Group 2?

John

[Matt Clark]

it looks like T&S needs to add FVC/FVCM or however they want to split it within Group 2. Challenge Cup will be running with the regular FVs in Group 2, except for the special Saturday afternoon race.
I had apparently registered wrong, and someone emailed me to set it right. I imagine others are having the same confusion.

[rcarmody]

Matt is correct we are running in group 2 then at the end of the day Challenge Cup has its own race radial cars only. Right now I looked and we have 14 cars entered most of the cars entered are in fact challenge cup guys. Look forward to seeing everyone.

So, In Group 2, will they score us separately as 2 classes?

I have a driver anxious to race her Vee, but think that the Glen has some age restrictions which make it pretty tough to compete unless you are 18. Does anyone know if this has changed?
Thanks

according to the Supps, they are still not allowing minors to race there unfortunately.

"MINOR WAIVERS: A new Minor Waiver must be completed yearly. Minor waivers can only be signed by the Parents or Guardians
and witnessed by and witnessed by a licensed Registrar, Steward or Notarized. All Minors attending this event as crew, guest, or
worker must have the appropriate Minor Waiver signed by the parent(s), or legal guardians, licensed Registrar or Steward .No
under 18 worker licenses will be honored! No drivers under 18 are eligible to enter."

John. They are working on a separate distinction so all drivers can benefit from their finishing position. Get your car ready its going to be a great weekend of racing. Hope to see ya there. Dean

As in "cars" - both of them?

[Dean Curtis]

Ya Man. The more the merrier!!

[nhJohn]

Looking at the entries - for Group 2 there are 17 entries.
and in Group 7 there are 15 entries. Challenge Cup. Separate race - all Falken tires.

In Group 2 - is this a mixed Challenge Cup and FV Hoosier class? or is everyone running FV SCCA Rules? (Hoosier)

I am trying to figure out if this is two classes scored separately or just one class?

John

[Matt Clark]

Yes, Group 2 is mixed & Group 7 is a special Challenge Cup only race on radials.
Like Dean said, they are still working on distinction yet. Most likely making us FVC like we've seen earlier in the year. Kinda confusing at the moment for sure, will probably get worse when they realize some of us will switch to slicks on Sunday.
