All you currently racing FF are the downfall of the sport.
It is no longer an inexpensive entry point for pro racing. No one who drives indy today every spent substantial time in a FF.
Two things need to happen:
1. make FF a driver's class and not an engine builder's or chassis class.
2. The SCCA needs to give free PR to all top runners in the class so they can draw sponsorship $ to move up. This is good for the SCCA too. Otherwise only the $$Andrettis and the $$unsers of the world will only make it to INDY. That is reeeeal boring.
Think about it - how popular SCCA would be if the next indy winner came up through the ranks. With the way things are going, SCCA will always be a club for guys towing thier 20 year old cars on open trailers behind old Vans. (Isn't that Vintage?)
