Jacer goes to new owners in Colorado

[rave motorsports]

Wyatt Brichacek is the new owner of the Jacer now in Longmont Colorado. Wyatt is one of the members of the Formula First young driver development series. They will be racing under NASA sanctioning. The program is for all open wheel drivers and includes drivers as young as 13 years old and older with proper certification. Congratulations Wyatt we are looking forward to watching you race for years to come.

My father wouldn't buy me a fishing rod when I was twelve. He said I'd shoot my eye out--he got a little confused I guess.

Congrats to all involved. We'll be watching!

Hmm, is "Mr. Cool" the driver? Or a younger sibling?

[rave motorsports]

Yes that is the new driver. He comes to the Formula Car ranks with a resume of competitive karting since age 5.

[BLS]

OK, thanks. Good luck Wyatt!

Damn What really stings is that he'll probably kick everyone's buttocks, too

Yeah we thought of that so we are coming up with a different restrictor plate based on the kids weight. That said I made Wyatt promise he wouldn't beat me by more than 10 seconds or I wouldn't sell him the car. It's been a blast working with these young drivers. Honestly it totally energizes me to see the looks on their faces. They are all very respectful of both us elder drivers and the cars. You can just see them soaking up information.

That's awesome. I'm glad younger drivers are getting involved in open wheel racing, especially FV and FST.

Barret,

Over the past decade, FST has seen mostly new/younger drivers. Close to 50% have been under 30 years old and joined SCCA when they went to drivers school.

Bill's target is spot on
