Just returned from the SEDIV Annual Convention.
F600 has been adopted as a regional class by the Atlanta Region for '09.
And as far as that goes, F600 will thus qualify to race in the '09 ARRC. During Atlanta Region regionals the F600 cars will run in the same run group as F500.
One of the strongest proponents for adoption was none other than Apexspeed's GT1Vette (Butch Kummer), acting as Competition Director for one of SCCA's largest regions. The purpose for the move was to allow the cars on track for heads-up comparision purposes with F5 cars.
Other points of interest. These cars will supposedly be able to apply for F5 homolagation through Topeka, and not be required to be dual homolagated as FS cars this season. Topeka says they are homolagating the chassis as F5 with no regard to the engine type.
It was mentioned that the whole F6 "rules package" was hoped to be in Topeka early enough to be adopted as a class for '10. Atlanta Region felt like taking this step would enable better data collection before the package is finalized.
Much discussion about the new class as being a possible "next step" for karters.
