The Club Formula Ford half of the 2003 FF/CFF East vs West Challenge will again be run under CENDIV Regional Championship rules. If you have an out-of-division CFF that does not meet these regulations, you are still welcome in the EWC in FF.
A. All Club Formula Fords will be subject to compliance with all SCCA, GCR, and Formula Car Specifications pertaining to Formula Ford.
B. All Formula Fords conforming to the SCCA GCR manufacturer's model year 1981 and older, which have the spring/shock mechanism(s) of at least one axle outboard of their chassis, are eligible. Additionally, all those of manufacturer's model year of 1981 or after, having the spring/shock mechanism outboard on both axles are also eligible.
1. A suspension is outboard if the spring/shock mechanism is further in distance from the centerline of the chassis than the upper suspension attachment point nearest the centerline of the chassis. The upper spring/shock mount may attach at the same centerline as the suspension mounting point or may be further outboard of it. The lower spring/shock mounting point must be further outboard than the upper spring/shock mount and attach directly to either the hub carrier or one or both lower suspension links. Trailing arms or radius rods are not considered to be suspension links.
2. Cars should be raced as nearly as possible to their model's original specifications. The chassis may not be modified or updated except to improve driver safety. Suspension may not be modified or updated except that stronger materials may be used as long as they match the dimensions of the original piece. Example: the hub carrier may be a weldment instead of a casting as long as the original suspension link and spring/shock mounting points are the same.
C. The spec tire for CFF shall be Hoosier R60 or R60CD. Also, any tire Hoosier manufactures and sells as a racing rain tire may be used. These shall be the only tires eligible for all timed sessions. In order to be eligible for the Hoosier year end points fund, drivers must display three Hoosier decals, one on the front and one on each side between the wheel positions on each car, and be registered in the Cen-Div Championship Series. Contact your Hoosier dealer for decals.
D. All cars will carry the class identification CFF on both sides of the car.
E. These rules are to be considered an addendum to the Supplemental Regulations for an event. Any infraction by or protest of any competitor with regards to these rules will be judged under the GCR.
F. Additional questions should be referred to the Cen-Div Champ Series Club Formula Ford rules Liaison.
Don't forget to look elsewhere in this forum for more information on both the EWC and the NEC. We all win when car counts are up.
