    Default VIR FRP F1600 Roll Call

    Mike Scanlon, Spectrum
    Rob Albani, Van Diemen
    Lew Cooper 3, Van Diemen
    Joel Haas, Piper
    Greg Rice, Reynard
    Dan Pyanowski, Van Diemen
    Tom Schweitz, Citation
    Chris Smith, Van Diemen
    Ken Bouquillion, Mygale
    Matthew Cowley, Mygale
    Jonathon Kotyk, Mygale
    Scott Rubenzer, Spectrum
    Chris Horan, Van Diemen
    Yuven Sundaramoorthy, Mygale
    Dexter Czuba, Spectrum
    Christopher Kierce, Van Diemen


    Driver announcements from Khill and Pelfrey should add 3 or 4 more to the list within the next week or so.



    I entered the VIR event.
    With 4 weeks to go, it is time to start doing roll call for Race 1.
    For those on the fence, or trying to pull things together to be there, let me know
    what you need to get it done, and we can try and help.
    I projected a list to get us going based on previous communication.
    Any changes or additions, please PM or email me and I will update.
    Thanks!

    BTW, the average temp for VIR on April 28-30 is 74 degrees.

    Default Love for you all to come out to the J500 ....

    Just saying! With close to 40 cars running and a dedicated run group for slicks, it would be a shame to miss out. Good Luck at VIR, we run in early April and the weather is looking good for the 25+ cars.

    I'll be up to check out the VDiemens to see what I need to do on my conversion in progress to make it extra fancy.

    I am assuming all the newer cars are xxxx/Hondas. Is the Reynard a Ford or Honda?

    Yes, I believe all the cars on the list are Honda powered. Still hoping John Benson, Derek Ketchie, or Andy will bring their kent-powered cars out, after they run at the VIR ST event and solidify their Runoff qualifications. Livingston and others in their Honda cars would be great too! Sebring was the best FF race in the Southeast this year, and this could be even better.

    I won't be able to do the VIR pro weekend. I get one weekend/month off of work and will use it the weekend prior. I plan to be at Indy pending the arrival date of my baby (currently scheduled for May 29). If it goes much later then I don't know if I will be there or not.

    Unfortunately as much as I want to be...I won't be at VIR for the pro weekend either, but I will be at Indy in June. Just focusing on qualifying for Indy and car development this year. I definitely plan to run a few events in '18. Would love to try and give some of the newer equipment a good race.

    Just over 2 weeks until we move in.
    For those who say they are coming, get those entries in.
    For those still thinking, pull the trigger!

    And for those who want even more than the incredible on-track racing action ......
    maybe you can be the next Honey Boo Boo.

    You know that I would revel in having to appear as the normal one. Since you are flying, and have your employees to consider, I think you will behave yourself. But my favorite mechanic, now retired, has surely missed his calling.

    Still waiting for KHill and Pelfrey to confirm the rest of their lineup.

    I think there are two more KHill cars coming and there are names on the above list that have not entered yet on FRPentry.com. We plan to post a preliminary entry list in the next couple of days- It looks good so far.

    Thursday, Friday. Sunny, mid-80s.
    Saturday, Sunday. Partly cloudy, hi-80s.

    Surely we have some racers from the Super Tour event who were unfullfilled and want some more VIR track time.
