Formula Race Car Club of America

ATTENTION IN THE PADDOCK

Well racers that's it for 2020, the winner ? Covid.

We finished the 'season' at The Glen with our friends at VRG.

What an iconic track to wrap up at.. Friday as usual at Watkins Glen was rained out, but a chilly Saturday 29deg the sun came out and it warmed up for a really pleasant day. Sunday was cloudy but pleasant and dry - 5 FRCCA racers showed up: Scott Gerber, Norm Clemo, Kirk Davis, Sam Garito and Don Quayle braved the cold and had a total blast. No official wins or points just racers having a great time. In the VRG feature race they agreed to let us run with them due to missing out on Friday, so we did a split start and started half a lap behind the pack. Crashes and black flags prevailed due to cold tires but no FRCCA racers were involved. In separate incidents Scotty spun in some fluid and Norm went through the grass exiting the bus-stop avoiding another car so following VRG rules both had to pit for a 'chat' with the marshals and a car check before continuing.

Lime Rock was a blast - 7 FRCCA dedicated racers showed up, after a great battle Michael took the win, followed closely by Kirk, Oscar 3rd, Norm 4th, Scotty 5th with Cappy and Sam Garito following up! Sam was having car trouble.. Mufflers worked, everyone was below the noise limit..

Many F/F parts listed under "More" Classified section.
