That is great. Now the harder part is to get the racers out. You will not find a better run race organization then FRP. Should be great fun!

“Like I said you are the one that makes the decision to go wheel to wheel not the car. The car is either safe enough to protect the driver or it isn't . The decision to fight over the same piece of...
What ever happened to having meetings with the stake holders, customers, participants so there can be a two way conversation? I get so upset when I hear “write a letter, that’s how the process...
I believe the horse has left the barn now hasn’t it?
So did the SCCA just make a tube car faster that they were trying to slow down before due to safety? I’m not 100% clear as I know they can run in FA class now as Pro Mazda, F4 & others can...
To me it’s a great looking car & many people have serious concerns about open wheel racing.
I really hope hope this car does well & is a success. It looks like the manufacture has tried to...
Checking the 2018 schedule this coming weekend the West & East Coast series both compete together at COTA so hopefully that will give a good idea of car counts.
But that’s realistically what a new FF would cost if built, or the FF could cost even more. Reality is there are incredible deals on used FF cars on the market. I think you need compare new to...
How have the fields been developing for this car? It’s been out for at least a few years I believe & everything from an outsider looking in seems to be like this car should do very well.
Anyone needing a crew or team to run them are crazy not to take Greg up while he is available.
He took me from the back of the pack to the pointy end of the grid. It's simple look at the results...
As far as I know the car being developed does meet the 2019 regulations. If I recall the 2019 specifications came out mid to late last year which caused some changes to the design but was being...
You don’t know that for fact. Just because Greg asked for legal advice doesn’t mean it would be him starting it.
My point really is that it doesn’t cover all. A parent may also own a...
A manufacture doesn’t have to be a member. So for that it wouldn’t cover SCCA from something like this.
I am 99.9% sure it is specified in the engine lease that I signed but I haven't had time to pull it up & go over it as it isn't on the top of the list of things to do.
I am also sure Honda would...
Legally it is their engine. I have no clue what they will or won't do but legally it is there engine.
Not sure, haven't asked Honda that question but until you pay for theee years consecutively it is still their property. I assume you would start over if the car transferred ownership.
Tomorrow is practice day for the 2nd ever USF4 Championship & we are back at Mid Ohio once again. This time with Trans Am & Nascrap I guess on the weekend.
Skyler Robinson will make his first...
Chris thanks for your reply but you missed answering my question about the number of cars you listed participating on average at the Majors. You list 15-20 FV cars at the Major events. I don't...
Can you show me the average car count for Majors where there is 15 - 20 FV cars other then one weekend? I am looking for average turn out numbers at the Majors.
Just trying to keep things...
I guess I meant with a protest that is the worst that could happen isn't it?
So what would happen when the driver showed up on Falkens and tried to go on the track? As far as I would see it he would be dq'd but still allowed to race. Or would he not be allowed on track?...
Perhaps the Major event fits the individuals schedule & location better?
Why not allow them to choose? Anyway, my question was more would they be allowed on track? The likely hood of them...
What would happen to a racer, or group of racers, if they showed up at a Major's event with Falken tires? I know according to the rules they could be D.Q.'d but would they still be allowed to run? ...
Those times are way off what has been done on the Pro track in FRP Series. Just for clarity here you are.
1:23.035 FC Lap Record 2014
1:27.1 is FF Lap Record 2013
Not sure about Club records, do know the Pro records but I would not use them to figure out where the F4 car is as the track evolves each & everyday. I would prefer to use FC & FF times from the...
Pro, 1.26's were fast times. Not sure why times make a diff though to be fair as it is a spec class.
Yes there were some issues with understeer compounded with some issues we had made it worse.
Lots of talent & will likely be more joining as cars become available. Drafting is not easy nor does it make a difference to the racing like it is does in F1600. We had some issues with the...
There were 14 cars racing. Would have been more however those are all the cars so far produced by Crawford. There will be more cars at the next race weekend as more cars are finished.
It...
I have no dog in this hunt so my opinion means little here but I would suggest that if enough of you write letters based on what you are posting you have a better chance of getting some type of...
The Gems system is new to us & we had a few issues getting it set up as some changes needed to be made to allow us to access it. I am not sure if we have access to the shifter info. It would have...
I didn't download any myself this weekend, the team did but we didn't try to overlay any data. I personally are not skilled enough to do so but my guys likely are.
With that said obviously...
The cars are big cars with a standard wing package & overall a heavy car. About 250 lbs heavier then F1600 & 150 lbs more then F2000. The car should not be at F2000 speeds.
I drove all...
Looks like they split the groups out according to what I saw on Race Monitor with FE, FM & I think FC together for 9 laps while FA/FB & others in that group ran 23 laps. I could be wrong but this...
Walker is doing his best with what he has in front of him. He is busy picking up the pieces of what others have left for him and is doing his best. Do not blame him for any of this, I am...
Nope.
Sub-contract would still be the responsibility of Crawford since they would be the ones managing that.
The F4 engine has to run as per FIA guidelines which is 158 hp, so it will not be a rocket...
Yes the teams know. Not enough to make a full grid as of yet. As listed it isn't fair to teams who need multiple cars to start before they get them all.
I wasn't around for FE but weren't...
If not holding Crawford accountable then who would you think would be causing the issue with lack of production?
Nope.
How much would an engine be?
It is being sold with an engine that is out of Commision so not sure if your feelings change on that or not.
Do you mean really race it or parade it more so? No disrespect meant, a serious...
Slightly over double was the asking price.
I am also curious if something like this will decrease over time as there seems to be less interest in open wheel racing these days and when our...
I would park it in my living room to be honest.
I receive some emails from the other side of the pond offering up collectables from time to time as I am sure many of you do.
One that I was surprised to see was Senna's 1984 Toleman that he...
Good luck to all.
