Rounds 5 and 6 of the US Formula 1000 Championship East are next on the schedule! The next two races are the US Formula 1000 Festival at Road Atlanta, May 18-19. At this event, Formula 1000 will not only be part of group 2a (wings and things) but also group 5 which will be Formula 1000 ONLY! Both races will count in the US Formula 1000 Championship East, towards SCCA national points, and the all-important Runoffs invitation.
In addition to having a Formula 1000-only run group, there will be several other exciting features of this event:
- Atlanta Region will providing reserved paddock space for the US Formula 1000 Championship. To help them, we need to provide the size and configuration of your rig and paddock set-up (such as canopy size). If you plan to attend, please send a message to me providing that information.
- Live timing will be provided by the Atlanta Region. Follow the action here: http://livetiming.net/scca/ars/
