Registration for Golden Anny of FF at Mid Ohio is open

[Joe Marcinski]

Hi,

Right Coast Formula F Series announces Official Registration is now open for the Golden Anniversary of FF Part 1, on June 28-30 at the historic Mid Ohio Sports Car Course. This now traditional all purpose-built racing car weekend is being put on by Formula Race Promotions [FRP] and sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing.

Here is the link to now officially enter this event: https://www.motorsportreg.com/events...motions-467522

We are going to close the “pre-registration” site that we opened on MotorsportReg.com back in January. For those 24 of us who have pre-registered on that portal; please be advised that the MotorsportReg folks have not been able to simply move our registrations over to the FRP site. So, it will be necessary for us to register again on the FRP portal for that weekend. You will be asked to select an entry and you just need to choose “RCFFS” and that will get you registered for the Right Coast and Golden Anniversary Part 1.

The Right Coast Formula F Series is always open to all eligible Formula F cars. We have had inquiries from drivers who usually run with the various vintage groups who wanted to know if there would be a “treaded tire” only race group.

We have worked with the kind folks of FRP and come up with a schedule for the weekend. We have a proposed schedule for the Formula Race Promotions event at Mid Ohio where we will conduct the first of our two anniversary events commemorating the 50^th Anniversary of Formula F in the United States. This particular schedule is dependent upon at least 20 “Historic/Treaded Tire” drivers entering. This schedule provides separate run groups for treaded tire cars and separate run groups for slick tired cars. This schedule will ONLY be used if we get the minimum of 20 treaded tire drivers.

I have not been able to figure out how to attach the proposed schedule here. But if you would like a copy, please e-mail me at joemffracer@comcast.net and I will send you a copy.

If we cannot get to this number of treaded tire entrants; then we will revert to the currently published (on the FRP website) schedule without separate run groups for slick tire and treaded tire entrants. As of today, February 209; we have 24 pre-entrants. Two of those entrants have chosen the “Historic” group and are the only treaded tire entrants that we have at this time.

The proposed schedule should be used for planning purposes, but the final version will be determined as entry levels will determine if there is sufficient interest to run a treaded tire only group. We need 20 of those cars to justify a stand-alone group. Should we not get 20; those choosing to run treaded ties are always welcome to run with us in a group with all tires allowed. Regardless all will have two practice sessions on Friday, one qualifying session and Race 1 on Saturday, then Race 2 and a 35 minute all comers 50^th Anniversary Race on Sunday.

We wanted to have a longer race to close out the weekend and FRP has been kind enough to oblige us. We also feel very strongly that there is no reason why we could not run both tire groups in a single event. We have had experience with treaded and slick tires being on the track with us on a couple of occasions and have not had any significant issues. But this is open to discussion. If you have an idea or objection, please let us know.

Best regards,

Joe Marcinski

I am sure Joe would try and accommodate anybody that would like to be involved, but clearly you were just taking another cheap shot at a different group of racers than you choose to support. You have your choice of many exclusive groups of Formula Ford races and BPs to attend and I encourage you to support, promote, and enjoy your choices. There is no need to be petty and small, by taking cheap shots at other racers and their choices.

Joe's organization, dedication, and commitment to our racing is outstanding. FRP events embrace those same standards in a very competitive format. Mid-Ohio is an outstanding facility and at its best in early summer. I would encourage anyone considering attending the event, to make that commitment, and make it happen. You will not regret it! I will see you there.

Relax, I wasn't trying to get a Radon homoligated???? I've heard nothing but great things about Joe and his organization. Rumor has it that even the ground effect Mygales can run. And if you don't find humor in that, maybe your funny bone is broken.

Hi,

My sincere aplogies for not being more clear on the eligility requirements in our announcement for this event.

The Right Coast Formula F Series is open to all Formula F and Club Formula F cars that comply with the current SCCA General Competition Rulebook. This would mean that cars with the Ford Cortina or Kent engine and the Honda Fit engine are eligible. While we do welcome all FF and CFF cars; the Ford Duratec engine that is used in England and Europe is not an approved engine for SCCA Formula F competition.

I do hope that answers Mr. Fairchild's question.

Best regards,

Joe Marcinski
