As announced last September, there will be two Formula Ford only race groups at the FF50th. At 25 cars per Road America's 4.0 miles, that allows a total of 200 entries if cars are split perfectly between the two race groups.
The if, of course, is a big one and begs and equally big question. How can such a large entry list be evenly divided given the many combinations of chassis, tires, shocks, and so on that have evolved over Formula Ford's 50 years?
The FF50th's strategy will be to accept the first 200 entries and then adjust race groups as required. The going in position will be to divide the entry by tires, one race group for treads and the other for slicks. That is surely too simplistic but it is a starting point. I am working with the VSCDA on an early entry process so that the composition of the entry list is known months in advance.
More news as it happens. Happy holidays!
