they're not going to use tracks like road america, elkhart lake, or long beach?

Those other tracks would require too much money to upgrade them to current FIA safety standards, and Bernie wants to stick close to big cities. Still not clear how temporary street circuits can meet the FIA safety standards?

There's a new Sheriff in town!
That's great news Rick, are you gonna run with us UF1 guys?
I hope so and if you put it down at West Coast I'll do the same and I'm sure we can get at least a few more to drop in too.
Gonna be there tonite doin some dirt and maybe F1 laps too.

It's easier for Bernie to rape New Jersey / New York for the $25 - $30 million sanctioning fee than to get blood from a turnip in California.

My plan is to run at WCRC. I am there once per week already so I would like to increase on-road participation by increasing the number of vehicles that race on any given club night.
Off-road's advantage is that there are 5-6 types of cars racing any given night and when added together makes a pretty good (profitable) turnout. At WCRC we are getting 20+ TC every week. This is not very many but compared to any single type of vehicle on an off-road night it is pretty good. On-road needs TC, mini, F1, 1/12 and other vehicle type to race together to really make on-road a super healthy discipline.
F1 had been off my radar for a while. There have been some at WCRC but nothing exciting. My first glimpse of the newer cars was at the IIC. After one of my heats I was set to marshall the F1 class. When I saw the Rheinard Ferrari and Wilck Mclaren I knew I had to have one. They look incredible!

It will be great to see you running F1s.
I'm sure it won't be too hard to get more of the current F1 guys interested in some club racing although the UF1 guys will be running bi weekly starting in November for their Winter Series at TQ. Lots of fun, lots of F1s.

I am going to try and do some UF1 races but not sure about scheduling. I can already see two dates in the winter schedule where I will be out of town.

Yes it has been a while. I raced the first Tamiya F1 back when they were first release.

You used to really lay it down in F1 back in the day at Aliso Hobbies and Hobbytown Irvine. Can't wait to see how you fair in your comeback. Of course I'll be watching from here in Detroit, but it'll still be cool.
You still got your bi racecar?

(I agree the current Indy Dalaras are not much to look at, but the current F1's, with all the aero junk are UGLY)
