Chuck - see below. Notice the part about 'regionally restrict'. I think you were right the first time - the big bore open-wheels are gone. For FSCCA, FS, and F1000, this is a disaster. Ya know, as a driver who has been an active racing member in 4 different regions (Tennessee, Oregon, Steel Cities, and now WDC), I find the idea that a region would completely drop a class absolutely terrible. How will a member feel if he moves into our area only to find that he can't race with us because we have 'restricted' his class? FM is one of the most popular classes in the SCCA; while I understand that the participation level in MARRS hasn't been what we would like, I can't help but feel that there will be people who get a very raw deal out of this. My personal opinion is that the open-wheel guys need to stick together on this issue. Marshall Mauney WDC Region <<<a proposal was offered to the committee to combine all open wheeled cars and to "regionally restrict" the classes of Formula Atlantic, Formula Continental, FSCCA, Formula Mazda, and the new Formula 1000 meaning this new open wheel race group would consist of only Fomula Vee, Formula Ford, Club Ford, and F500. A vote using a show of hands came out 10 to 10 with several abstentions. A roll call vote was then instituted with each representitive citing Yay, Nay, or Abstaining and this vote came out 12 to 9 in favor of creating this new race group with some of the reps changing their vote and therefore the proposal was adopted.>>> ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
