Pro Atlantic for 2014?

Anyone?

What is the question?

depends on you're definition of "Pro" haha

An "official" letter has been emailed to all FA owners that have shown an interest in the past. If enough of the proper responses are returned there will be a Series in 2014.

I have a personal bias. I can not understand why FA drivers would not want to race like F1600 or F2000 without the mixed "soup" of classes. But, what do i know?

Twenty proper responses (or the equilvalent) and there will be a Series next year. We want it, Hoosier wants it, but do the entrants want it?

Depends on schedule and cost. Any details? Also, wouldn't it be nice for the club to recognize the races for purposes of RunOffs qualification?

Any info would be helpful.

Don't think you will have any luck with the SCCA allowing pro races to count as qualification for the runoffs. However "semantic" the difference might sound, it is supposed to be amateurs and not pros. Also, they need to keep promoting Majors attendance.

It would really be nice to go back to the old "pro" roots and raise the entry fee, but pay out the top 3 or so. Hopefully getting the series back in the direction of the real pro series without the "GCR interpretation specials" we have in SCCA.
