Over lunch last fall, a few Colorado Region CF drivers figured out that there are over 50 FF and CFF in the RMDIV. Yet, average turn out is only 4 cars per race. So, after a little brainstorming, a small group of RMDVIV FF enthusiasts have decide to follow Steve Beeler's lead. We have organized an eight race regional series for FF and CFF to take place over four double regional weekends in 2005:
April 30 - May 1, LaJunta Raceway
May 28 - 30, Pikes Peak International Raceway
July 16 - 17, Pueblo Motorsports Park
September 3 - 4, Second Creek Raceway
The best six of eight races will count towards the driver championships. Driver championship points will be awarded through the first nine places in each class (12-9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1) plus 1 point each for pole and fastest lap.
We are fortunate to have attracted sponsors for the series including Bradford Precision Engines, Big T Fuel, Competition Engines, Front Range Motorsports, 3R Racing, Road Racing Services, Sign Edge, and Titan Motorsports North America. Other sponsors are pending.
One of the primary misssions of the Challenge is to foster the FF driver network. A portion of the paddock will be reserved for FF/CF competitors. Plus, Saturday evenings will feature cookouts, tech talks, awards, and door prizes. There will be awards and prizes for everyone (not just podium finishers). If you would like to get involved, or have any questions, please get in touch with one of the commitee members below.
Very truly yours,
The FF Challenge Committee
