2010 Classic MotorsportsB Cup
Announcing a new, four event, mini-enduro road race series for 2010.
This series runs on tracks from Florida to Ohio, and is designed to
lower the cost and put the fun back into small-bore production car
racing. The most unique feature of this series, is that the entry fee
will be FREE to anyone already entered at that weekendbs regular event.
This series has many unique features, as the pre-1965 requirement will
focus on the MGs, Triumphs, Alfa and Porsche 356s who usually donbt get
the lionb s share of attention at most race weekends. HSR president,
Steve Simpson, states b We are listening to our customers and with
rising costs and more and more focus on newer and faster machinery, we
wanted to refocus our efforts on the guys that make up the back-bone of
classic car racing, the small-bore production racers of the fifties and
early sixties.b SVRA president Howard Turner adds b SVRA is pleased to
host the Series at two of our fine venues, and we look forward to seeing
the MGs, Triumphs, Alfas and Porsche 356s get top billing and the
significant additional track time.
It should be a big plus for these cars that are the traditional backbone
of our sport,b Classic Motorsports publisher, Tim Suddard says, b We
were looking for ways to put more fun back into small-bore production
racing. The Mini-enduro format will offer a lot of seat time without
adding to the expense of a race weekend. A longer format would get too
expensive in regards to consumables like tires and fuel. The mandatory
pit stop will really help those racers who want to share rides, which
will add to the fun and further lower expenses.b Drivers in the series
will be urged to pit together at races to further build camaraderie. The
guys at Classic Motorsports, HSR and SVRA will be throwing a free
welcome party on Thursday night of each race weekend to make sure the
events kick off in a fun and friendlyB atmosphere.
My opinion:
Tim,
I think it's GREAT!!! I hope all the FOT membership gets involved. It'll
show HSR/SVRA where their true dollars come from and who REALLY supports
the sport. Won't be a bunch of us arriving in SEMI's but our checks
clear the bank just fine!!!!
