DUFFUS 2014 Race #1 Entry is Open

Hi,



The entry for DUFFUS 2014 Race #1 at Mid Ohio on the Fourth of July weekend is now open on MotorsportReg.com. Just search for "DUFFUS" and you will be taken to the entry.



Two practice sessions on Friday, a qualifying session and race #1 on Saturday, races #2 & #3 on Sunday. Kill stickers for podium finishers in each class in each race. Trophies for podium finishers in each class and the lucky "dead last" finisher in race #3 of the weekend. Each driver will receive a packet with a DUFFUS series poster, DUFFUS suit patch and two DUFFUS series stickers to be placed on the car. Additional posters, patches and stickers will be available for sale to defray the cost of the ones we are giving away. Given the exquisite, dignified nature of our logo we expect all of these things to become collector items someday.............



All cars will be on track with one another in each on track session. You may enter as FF, CF, VCF or VFF. We will work with you to verify compliance so that everyone feels welcome and will know who they are racing against for the kill stickers and trophies.



Timing will be handled by the folks at FRP and as such AMB transponders will be required on all cars. You must bring your own with you.



I think that covers the basics and hopefully the race registration form reflects that (my fault if it does not). Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions joemffracer@verizon.net.



A couple of things to remember; this event and series is being organized by 4 drivers, please lower your expectations for thoroughness! We have no experience as registrars, but we are going to do everything we can to accommodate, but we need your help with a few things.



Please try to get registered early and remember that as an SCCA sanctioned event all the drivers/participants (people who need to get into the hot pits) will have to be SCCA members. We do not anticipate (at this time) being able to contact the club office from the track on the race weekend, so please get your membership (temporary memberships for the weekend are available or the regular annual membership) taken care of before you arrive at the track.



Please try to have your SCCA annual tech inspection taken care of the reduce the burden on our Chief of Tech. He is a volunteer who has other duties that weekend so we would like to go easy on him. We will be verifying safety gear as required by the GCR including head restraint devices.



The entire entry fee of goes to Formula Race Promotions so please get your check mailed to us so the we can have it about 10 days before the event. We have to present a single check to FRP on Thursday before the race weekend begins for all the entries. We do not have the ability to accept credit card payments, so please; checks only. There are fees associated with having MotorsportReg collect entry fees and we are trying to keep this as inexpensive for the drivers as is possible that is why payment is direct to us.



As a club race being conducted as part of a pro weekend, please bear in mind that everything is by schedule so please make sure you are ready to go at the published times. The scheduled track times on the entry are the "plan". There are sometimes adjustments to the schedule during the weekend and we will be keeping in close communication with the folks from FRP and letting you know about any changes during the weekend.



We have also had very generous offers of contingency awards from the kind folks at SpeedSeat and Quicksilver Race Engines. We will have the details and award criteria worked out and will share that with you in the driver packet given out at the track on the race weekend.



This is intended to be low key, low pressure, just for the love of it racing. We hope you all decide to come and have fun with us.



Thanks,



Joe Marcinski
