Proposed new class groupings for 2014

[steveaca]

Re proposed new groupings for 2014, I like Luke's suggestion as it would reduce, for the most part, the number of classes raced to 2 per night, but having 2 groupings with 3 classes would make for a 7 week cycle rather than an 8 week one, allowing more races per class over the course of the year.

Steve & not only that ~ when you think of it, with 5 back to back IROC classes it will be so much easier for anyone of us to invite new persons to come and race @ FRC...

We were already doing 5 week cycles per event in 2013 and now with 7 week cycles in 2014 it could help with bringing back the old B's and new ones too

Way Ramesh,

You're sure having a very heartfelt 2013 Christmas time - some sad & happy days all at once... Condolences, Compliments of the Season & now Congratulations...

WOW 28 years of Marriage!!! Such a grand achievement - I dont think I could have said best wishes any better than Gordon... and what Steve said with 28 years on the 28th. day of the month reminded me of something I will say, maybe because we racing/liming so long now

Anyway, its very noticable how you & your son breaking most (if not all) of FRC's records and now like you & your wife breaking another record in a life of wedlock

Thats very outstanding of you both - A Job Well Done!

Happy New Year Fellas!!!

You'll would like more for less or less for more here..

Here is to some (maybe) very radical changes to FRC's 16 racing events in 2014.

A. VS - HS - G5SC & RC .................. 3 X 5 races @ 25 laps & 5 five-lap stages per car
B. MC - PC/LS/FTC ......................... 6 races @ 20 laps - 6 races @ 25 laps Mixed GT (Exotic) Team Racing
C. RGT - SC - F1 & *NSS .................. 3 X 5 races @ 35 laps & *6 races @ 35 laps
D. AM - GT - LMP & MP ................... 3 X 5 races @ 40 laps & 5 races @ 30 laps

I kind of average the (qualifying and racing) time periods for each group, between 2 - 3 hours and think anything less, wouldnt really worth someone's while ent

What do you'll think about this and in group B. check how there's no need to bring any cars and the one night (for sure) to invite new & old Bs alike... to come & have a go @ FRC!!!

See how I have the record for the first man to post a new topic in 2014

Luke,

That will be the only record you will have at FRC for 2014.

Okay Doc - Let me worry bout that but some feed back here on four class groupings would be nice...

The "More for Less" means - more class groupings... eg: A. B. C. D. E. F. G and so on... which means less racing per event.

The "Less for More" of course means vice versa...

Luke,

Presently the only classes I will be able to run is in the Open modified and the IROC classes.
This will be great for me I will say more classes faster turn around.

Hi Luke,
I think that having 4 classes race at a particular event is a bit much. I prefer your earlier suggestion where there were 7 groupings, 2 of which were 3-class groups and 5 of which were 2-class groups. A very workable modification to this would be, as suggested at the last event, combining the 'IROC' GT cars into 1 mixed-GT class.

Based on my previous post, classes could look like this:
A: Historic Saloon, Vintage Sports, Group 5 Sports
B: Mini, Rally
C: Mixed GT, F1
D: Restricted GT, Modified Production
E: Nissan GT-R, Slot.it Challenge
F: American Muscle, GT, LMP .

In keeping with Ramesh's suggestion of no more than two classes per event, here's what I propose:

A. Mini Challenge / Rally Car
B. Historic Saloon / Mod Prod
C. Nissan GT-R / Restricted GT
D. Vintage Sports / Group 5 Sports Car
E. F1 / American Muscle
F. Mixed GT / Slot. It Challenge
G. GT / LMP
