Well it was a very good 2011 Season.

• Learned a lot about the car and myself.
• Met a great bunch of people.
• Even won a few times.
• I took the 2011 SE Championship...not too shabby for the first season in the car.
• The car was in Feb 2012's Grassroot Motorsport. Nice little article about the new FFRC Spec for 2012 and the legacy class of FFR2.
• Got to film with Top Gear UK, and meet the crew and hosts.

So now on to 2012. After much thought and debate we have decided that for 2012 we will be in the new 2012 Factory Five Challenge series and not FFR2 (legacy Factory Five Challenge series).

What the new series will bring for 2012:
• 110+ more wheel horse power
• Revised rear gear ratios
• Larger and better balance brakes
• Revised front suspension
• Updated rear suspension
• Revised front spindle and hub assemblies
• Wider tack
• ~75 lbs weight reduction.

The new FFRC series should see significant reduction in times and will once again be one of the faster classes in the NASA racing series.

Look for build updates and pictures.

 

congrats, in for the build

 

In for updates!!

 

Here is a preview of the new brakes.

These were just installed on JG's car.


With the 17" rims on:

First boxes have started to arrive

 

For those whi have read the article, here's something funny. See if you notice the big difference between the Article's lead in picture and the one posted here. They were taken less than 2 minutes apart.

 

Just had a very interesting phone call. You may see the #43 in a lot of magazines soon. It helps to have a good looking car.

 

I heard about all the changes to the FFRC. You guys are going to pick up some serious time this year.

Good Luck!

 

Yeah, going from 208 WHP to 320+ WHP isn't going to hurt.

 

saw you guys in grass roots magazine, nice!! Good luck next year!

 

What if there are guys who can't afford to do all those upgrades to the car? Are they still going to be able to run with each other?

 

It's actually being handled in two ways

1) All changes are optional. So you can make any of the changes you want.
2) If don't want to make ANY of the changes there will be an FFRC2 class where all the legacy cars can run until they make the change. Much like the CMC and CMC2 cars did last year.

 

That's cool they offer that. I know if I was in that position, I may not be able to afford to do all those things at once. Good luck!!!

You coming to Nats this year?

 

Thats the plan

 

New front calipers are in

 

look what we came home to today

 

It's like Christmas every day at your house since the rule change...
