I heard there is a $100 sponsorship for outsiders and/or elitists who want to try out the tires and the Series. $100/car limited to the first 5.

$100 to a FV/F1200 racer is like winning the F1 World Championship:D

So far no applications, but the offer stands. There are some hotshot National guys around there. They should come out, have a good time, and take some of my cash.

Sorry. Should have said "hotshot Majors guys".

Just a reminder to get your entries in early
Anyone taking advantage of Greg's gracious
Sponsorship offer will need to contact
Derm or Dean to secure the use of tires and rims.
Which seem to be in hot demand.
The Challenge Cup Series has been a tremendous success,
Thanks to the hard work of a group ofFormula Vee enthusiasts and the
support of sponsors and competitors.
I think we accomplished our goals . We look forward to impoving and refining the Series next year.
Let's finish the season with our biggest field yet!
Look forward to seeing everyone in New Jersey

Cheers

Once again ..... here's my FV National Champion enticement offer.
I don't have any caviar but I will offer up a surplus bottle of Steve's champagne.
I will loan them a very good legal intake manifold.
I will provide them with a hotel room for Friday and Saturday night.
I will pay for the tire rental.
I will pay for their first $100 of race fuel

I believe that Saturday's dinner is provided. If they get there and pay the entry fee, they should have no real costs during the event. If there is something else we need to offer, let me know, and I'll try and put it together.

Anyone interested in either offer should email me, as I will not be visiting this site much over the next little while. Any one who gives the tires/Series a shot will be hooked. Guaranteed!

Sweet deal

Greg. Thats a sweet deal. I hope people know. They are getting three days of driving and 2.75 hrs of track time. A great way to shake the dust off a car that has been sitting or test those final go fasters for the runnoffs. Good luck fishing. And thanks for the sponsorship

Weekend Track time

Gentleman
It has been decided by the BOD to entice more entries, we will include a practice day with the entry fee so now you will have 2 Hours and 45 minutes of track time for the weekend. Plus the chance to win part of the $1000 worth of prizes offered this weekend. For those of you sitting on the fence this is your chance to see what this series is all about. Hope to see you in NJ

I will cancel the hotel room tomorrow if no one contacts me.

The moderator thought it necessary to bury my alternate tire thread in the "cesspool" thread, where it was inserted in such a way as to remove all context. Those that believe in allowing people to use the Falken package in SCCA ...... it is very important to let SCCA leadership (yes I know that is an oxymoron) know how you feel. Info below. Send that letter!

Alternate FV Tire

This is NOT a request for a spec tire. Please consider that as a totally separate issue.

This is a request that SCCA approve the use of an alternate FV tire. This tire is already being used in different FV race series in Canada and the USA. It is clearly slower than the open racing tires used in FV now but is more consistent, more durable, and more cost effective. It is a different size and construction than allowed by FV rules and requires different wheels. Minimum weight and track rules get adjusted, but the operational FV remains identical.

Allowing this tire would allow more crossover between competitors to more SCCA events and increase FV participation numbers. As it stands now, in order for those racers to participate in a SCCA race without specifically accommodating supplementary rules, they need to run illegally as a FV, or be moved to FS. The FS option is dangerous and not at all inviting

This rule change will help combat declining car counts with no effect on what is happening at the front of the grid. It can have an immediate effect if implemented promptly and be totally independent of any spec tire discussion.

Specifics:
Tire: Falken Azenis RT 615 (no suffix) or suffix K 95/60/R14
Wheel: Steel 14" X 6" with minimum weight of 12 lbs. No spacers, shims or adapters.
Adjusted minimum weight: 1075 lbs
Adjusted track: Front 54 1/2", plus/minus 1/4", Rear 52 5/8", plus 7/8", minus 5/8"
