Formula 40

[Eddie#200]

Ok, Now since I didn't run at Topeka I can't say too much, however only one guy racing in Formula40 expert?

Here's the deal... you need a field of racers to collect contingency money right?  Minimum... what is it, 6 riders in most cases.  Splitting up the Formula 40 class in two with the new lightweight class causes the grids to be too small to get paid.  That's a problem since many of the racers quit before age 40.  I hope this class isn't cancelled due to low interest.

Any thoughts?

Atleast you'll get top 6 points, and have an awesome shot at the podium  :P

Or is it because you'll have to actually race against a certain 1st year expert?  :P

Hey there, ;D

Yep, still racing...  I'm playing with the young folks this season.  My focus is on Formula-Sportbike.  Hope I don't get run over too baddly.  I'm also going to run the F40 races that are run the same weekends as F-USA events.  

The collar bone healed up ok.  I don't want to do that again anytime soon. 6 weeks out of your life sux.  I keep looking for your name to show up on the roster... I feel I owe you one wink, wink ;)

Stay in touch.

Hey there Eddie,

One piece that you may not be accounting for is new racers coming aboard after the age of 40.  I'd asked questions on ths BBS earlier this winter to try guage whether F40 is "safe" for total newbies to racing or whether it is more like the senior PGA where it's experienced racers who are now...er... more seasoned.

So long as the class isn't canceled any time soon, there may be an ongoing fresh crop of amateurs rising to the expert ranks.
