Registration Opens for Right Coast Race 1 next week

[Joe Marcinski]

Hi,

Registration for Race 1 of the 2018 Right Coast Formula F Series opens next Tuesday, May 8^th on MotorsportReg.com. Once again the kind folks at South Jersey Region of the SCCA are hosting us as part of the Lightning Challenge weekend on June 1, 2 & 3.

This event is also Round 4 of the MARRS championship; Round 3 of the Northeast Division Road Racing Championship and Rounds 3 & 4 of the New Jersey Road Racing Series. Friday, June 1 is a track sponsored test day (extra fee required). The regional race program kicks off on Saturday morning. Formula F and Club Formula F drivers have the opportunity drive the Lightning Circuit three times on Saturday with a morning qualifying session; a 20 lap Right Coast Formula F Series race right after lunch and a 15 lap regional qualifying race later on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday morning the second 20 lap Right Coast race goes off shortly after 9 AM and there is a 20 lap regional/divisional championship race on Sunday afternoon.

We will have our usual Saturday night social where we will have our prize drawings which includes a chance to win a set of Hoosier Racing tires.

Full details will be available when on-line registration opens on Tuesday, May 8 and on our website rcffs.org.

There is also a little news regarding the second race of the 2018 RCFFS season at Mid Ohio. There will be a Thursday evening test session available (extra fee required). Our host for that weekend, Formula Race Promotions, has asked if we can get a count of the drivers who are interested in that Thursday evening test session. If you plan on doing the session; please email me at joemffracer@comcast.net at your earliest convenience so we can help out our hosts.

Thanks, and we hope to see you at NJMP.

Oh that weekend! That was a long but rewarding weekend. The only reason I was able to pull that off is with Shayne's help. The race car gods were with me that particular race. I need to get use to the new car first. We will see what happens with the new car in time.

Man I sure hope so too! I'm really busting my ass this year to make a difference.

It looks like Max may be piloting the old #39 this year. I've been suffering from some serious wrist/elbow/shoulder pains due to chronic overuse of my one and only arm.
If I'm able to drive I will, but as it stands now I will have to tap my substitute driver.

[Derek Holmes]

If Max is driving can we put extra weight in the car? Or mount a parachute to create some drag?

We'll mount the rear shocks outboard to create some drag

Some sort of complication or computer glitch has pushed the opening of June 1-2-3 NJMP Lightning Right Coast season opener with South Jersey Region till noon tomorrow, Wednesday May 9.

Hi,

As Mike explained a couple of days ago there is some type of issue with the entry on MotorsportReg. We have been in touch with both the Registrar of SJR and with MotorsportReg to try and get it resolved as quickly as possible.

We currently have 5 entrants, although you cannot see them because of this glitch. People are working hard to get this corrected and we will let you know as soon as it is safe to log in and complete the registration successfully.

Thank you for your patience,

Joe M.

FF/CFers trying to register for Right Coast and the Lightning Challenge on motorsportreg, race director and CF runner JD King has requested until "they" get the issues cleared up just wait a day or until a further post saying go ahead.
There are odd things happening, like one message is one must you put some F1000 info, or another you must be a RCFFS member to enter the RCFS portion, neither of which mean anything, clearly the system needs attention.
JD and South Jersey Region will get this sorted out with motorspotreg.
The event I still 3 weeks away so it will get good soon, I am sure.
