Jim and the F5 List !
Before we know it, some of us will be packed up and heading out to Topeka
for the Runoff's, so it might be beneficial to all if we selected someone to
speak for the class before this journey starts so - if - by chance - the TV
folks want to do a story about us - we'll be ready for 'em !
I do have someone I'd like to recommend for this important function and his
name is Andrew Brenkus. Andrew is a successful young guy who runs his own
computer company, is a heads-up competitor and an excellent communicator !
He's been campaigning his Red Devil primarily on the East Coast with some
trips into Nelson Ledges and Beaver Run. This upcoming Runoff's will be his
second time as a participant - he finished 7th or 8th last year ( my 63 yr
old synapse machinery isn't certain of which ) !
If there are others interested in this opportunity - please step forward -
time is short and we don't have a lot of time to banter back and forth
across the country before some of us start the trek to Kansas !
Also, I'll be happy to collect and categorize what we can use as our talking
points ! We'll have many - hopefully - to go over and - more than likely
because we'll be limited to the time constraints the producers will allow -
have to make them short and sweet !
Put your thinkers on and let me know what your thoughts, concerns and
recommendations are regarding this proposal !

Subject: [F500] Follow-up on the F500 TV Briefing/Talk Points List -
TryAgain
One of the list members posted his response to the wrong subject line and
this subject got way laid so I will try again to get a volunteer.
Hopefully, someone will step forward and present this to the TV people.

Subject: Follow-up on the F500 TV Briefing/Talk Points List
Nobody picked up on this a couple of weeks ago so let's try to get ideas
together and then get a volunteer to present this list to the TV producers
early in the week.
Remember that the F500 broadcast is one of the MAJOR opportunities to
market our class.
Here is a starting point:
F500 is a low budget formula road racing class that uses the following
rules to keep the costs down:
1. Restricted Two Cylinder 2 Cycle snowmobile motor with Continuously
Variable Ratio Transmission in place of a more expensive motor with a
geared transaxle.
2. Rubber (elastomer) pucks inside metal cylinders in place of more
expensive coil-over-shocks and no sway bars are allowed.
3. One piece straight rear axle with either chain drive or rubber cog belt
drive in place of a three piece independent rear axle with ring & pinion
gears.
All of the above restrictions keep the cost affordable for the low budget
racer.
Please take this, improve on it and add more talking points so that the TV
commentators become out best salesmen of the F500 class.
Who is going to pick up the ball on this project?
Another brainstorm idea = Keep a site with the Runoffs F500 video within
the F500.org site so anyone can look at it at any time. When somebody
asks about our class, we refer them to www.f500.org and tell them to look
at the Runoffs video.
Come to think of it, we need to add photos of the F500's running in the
Solo Nationals as well.
What do you think, Eric?
Jim
Be there on Friday
