2025 Summer Sizzle @ MRRA (Road Atlanta) with FV, FF, & F600

Hello everyone, I am John Fine, the Chief Steward for the 2025 Summer Sizzle @ Road Atlanta with a bonus Majors Race for FV, FF, & F600 so that they may qualify for the 2025 Runoff's @ Road America.

I know it's early in the season, but for planning purposes I am attempting to get a feel for the number of small bore formula cars that will be attending this race. Driver feedback from you the drivers of those cars will help me ensure that we have adequate time on our race schedule to ensure that you have a great race experience at a Destination RACE TRACK!!

My goal is to have the initial schedule for the weekend done by the middle of February 2025, so your input is desired. Reply on this thread or contact me @ jefine3878@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance for your help;

I’m not a driver (not yet, at least), but just wanted to compliment the attitude in your first post — and welcome you to ApexSpeed!

There’s a lot of pro-active efforts here right now that’s very consistent with your post.

All the Best.

Hi John,
Yes, it's early but never too early to get the ball rolling!

I'm part of a group of FF drivers working with other drivers to improve our car counts in these events. This event is on our radar as one we are going to get behind, along with FV and I think F6 drivers. If there is an area where us small bore members could corral ourselves together, we think that would add to the attractiveness of this race weekend!

Although we haven't had the first major of the year yet, the SE Div events in FL look well attended for FF so I think this one will be too.

Is the Summer Sizzle Race July 19 & 20 going to be a Majors Race in 2025? I normally do this event in FC, but I was thinking it was always a SARRC race, and not a Majors, or is it a combination SARRC/Majors?

Anyway, great of you for polling the FV/FF/F600 group before setting the schedule.

Cheers,

Paul Douglas

Yes Paul, according to the schedule I was sent and posted here, it's a Bonus Major for small bore open wheel cars that were removed from the March HST event:

FYI, the Bonus Major at MO Aug 9-10 is also of interest to me but John was only asking about the July Summer Sizzle event.

Reminder 2025 Summer Sizzle @ Road Atlanta

Just a quick reminder, the 2025 Summer Sizzle Double SARRC and Bonus Majors is only 79 days away. I have completed the first editions of the Supps and Schedule. Current plans are for two Qualifying Sessions and for FV, FF, F600 & CF to have their own Qualifying and Race Sessions. I will do everything in my power to ensure that this happens. However, it also depends on YOU making the Commitment to attend this Event.

Road Atlanta will be hosting a Test Day on July 18 for those interested.

Again, thanks for your support.

Help with Road Atlanta Summer Sizzle Attendance

Everyone, I have currently got the Supps & Schedule for the Summer Sizzle in the works. So far, I have managed to keep the FV,FF & F600 cars in their own group. However, I do need a commitment from the FV, FF & F600 drivers that they are planning to attend so that I can keep arguing for it's continued existence. I need at least 15 to 20 drivers to commit to attending this race weekend to ensure that it will keep having two separate Qualifying sessions & Two Races on the Schedule (One Saturday & One Sunday).

The Race will be on MSR as soon as I can get everyone to buy off on it, so put it on your schedule and please reply her to that I have some ammunition to argue for my desired schedule.

Paul, not for you (FC). It is part of the HQ specified BONUS MAJORS *JUST* for the small bore open wheel group that has been REMOVED from most of the HST events. Giving them another way to accumulate points towards the Runoffs.

This race is on the Formula 600 Challenge Series schedule. And I’m expecting 8-10 F600s. We had 9 for Pitt and 11 or 12 are expected at The Sprints (haven’t seen the count for Watkins Glen).

Thanks for all the effort! I’m looking forward to being there.

John,
I figured you would know.. the F6 guys decided to CHANGE their Championship Event to coincide with the ARRC instead of this event.. not sure why, but thought you would already be aware. A significant effect on this event for sure...
