Time To Go Racing 2002

[Protech975]

The 2002 race season is here and we need to get some feedback as to who is racing where and when.
SNORE,MORE,SCORE,Whiplash all have their first races this month as well as others, MDR first week in Feb.
Who will be racing in what series and when? Who needs pit support or extra help?
MORE starts off the year on the 18th in Barstow then the following week the Parker 400 and Laughlin with SNORE/ Whiplash and SCORE.
I guess the Rule change issue is done for now but we need to keep ideas flowing for concideration next year!
Ken Talpert the new #975 in L.V. if you see this give me a call or Email. R.S.

I am guessing between 25 to 29 class 9 cars at the Parker400
just from people I have spoke to

[Protech975]

Kenny thats a fantastic number to see, I will be there with the CORE pit club but will also bring some spare emergency parts and tires for any class 9 that may need them!
I saw last night a post on GO-Desert from Mike Hinson stating that there are only 15 or so registered 9 car people that are now using this Formula Nines discussion board! Wow, I thought that most of the drivers listed in the drivers section were also using this forum. that is why we see so little feedback and responce on issues and topics. We really need to push this site to all the current class 9 people so we can get a much more broader field of opinions. I really appriciate the profesional attitude we see on this forum compared to other I have seen latly. TTYS R.S.

Rob,
I second that motion. We just had another sign up today, for a total of 16.

Kenny,
I think we all appreciate what you are trying to do. If we can get the discussion going on the forum, it might work a little better.

Thanks again,
Mike Hinson

We will be racing the entire MDR series this year, and if our budget allows, hopefully squeeze in a MORE race now-and-then.

Best of Luck to all!

The big toppic at last nights snore genral membership meeting was the class 9 rules sevral of us
talked about wieght in class 9 alot of guys would like to go back to the old wet weight rule
if the car is lighter you break less stuff like spindels and such think about 9 cars are 20 inches
have less parts on them than a 1600 car and yet they have to weigh the same 1550lbs if we get
enough positive feed back on this issue we can make it happen of 30 or so people to attend last nights
meeting 12 were local LasVegas class 9 drivers and we represented the out of town 9 guys

Thank you
your class 9 reps Clay Lenard and Kenny Thatcher

We'll be racing the FUD/FRT Superstition seies starting with the King of the Desert on FEB. 16

Trey
I do not know much about FUD/FRT can you fill us in, Where are they based and where do they race?
Whats the diff. between FUD and FRT? How many 9 cars are currently running this series and who was the top driver in last years series? Great to see they have a full schedule set for this year.
Just trying to get more info about other race org. out to those of us that are stuck in the Mojave and So. Nevada. area. Thanks R.S.

The Fud/Frt series is one series. Based out of the imperial valley (eastern san diego). I was the #900 car last year. I lost my crown to Julie Kern this past season.
Usually only a handfull of 9 cars 3-6 run each race with the exception of the CODE/FUD race in TECATE mexico. That race last year brought 12-15 cars for the two day, short course style event. VERY FUN!!!!!
It would be great to see some new faces at these events. I am always trying to get more 9 cars out here. The entry fees are very reasonable($300?) and the courses are very challenging but VERY fun!
If anyone is interested in running any of these events-go to WWW.FUDRACE.COM

[AllwaysRcn]

That should have read 12-15 Class 9 cars. The TECATE event (in general) had a very large turnout in all classes.
If anyone is interested in running a FUD event, please feel free to contact me (here or PM me or e-mail me bahatrey@webtv.net) Thanks
