Th e Spirit of VARAC can be expressed as a wish to preserve, restore and race historically signifi cant cars in a form as close to the original specifi cation as possible. Of course, there have been many improvements in motor racing safety equipment, circuits and technical advancements in materials since these cars were built. Th ose restoring and preparing cars for Vintage Racing are encouraged to incorporate and take advantage of these improvements where they can be incorporated without diminishing the vintage character of the car. We feel that Vintage Racing should be enjoyable and rewarding to both the participant and spectator with a minimum emphasis on trophies and awards. Let’s keep the fun in Vintage Racing.

Suitably chastised we returned to the grid and away we went. This turned out to be a terrifi c race for me with a Spit and 3 Vees racing for 4th place. The Vees tenaciously slipstreamed, and we rotated position multiple times lap by lap. I started to over-heat, lost touch with the Spit and one Vee who fi nished 6 secs ahead of me with Mike Jackson’s Vee half a cars length beside/behind me , with another Vee hard in behind him. Hopefully the organizers appreciated spirited high caliber racing by mature fast drivers who lapped some 16 cars in the process. We somehow avoided the immature fast drivers and the mature slow ones during the race! We were ready for the Sunday feature, which not for the fi rst time was somewhat of an anti- climax. It was dry and warmer with ominous clouds building up. Only 26 cars showed up, which turned out to be uneventful. Everyone behaved, the fi eld spread out and I fi nished a comfortable 8th with an 8 second cushion on the Vee behind me. We loaded the cars and then the heavens opened, ending racing. We now look forward to two consecutive weekends of racing in June. The Festival at Mosport, followed by Mid Ohio. Hopefully Rick will have resolved the engine problem by then.

It’s been a year of both triumph and, unfortunately, tragedy and in this issue we take time out to remember María de Villota, whose passing in October left a deep void not just in motor sport but in all our hearts. María’s bravery following her F1 testing accident and the dedication she displayed afterwards – not only in promoting female involvement in motor sport but also safety on the road and track – will be missed. Elsewhere, it was a year of great success for women competitors and in this edition we look at Lucile Cypriano’s victory in the VW and commission-supported shoot-out for a place in next year’s VW Scirocco R-Cup and reveal how the FIA European Rallycross Championship has become a haven for female racers. It’s been a great year for CONTACTS: women in all forms of motor sport and IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER OR we look forward to even more in 2014!

    Fourth Annual Michael R. Argetsinger Symposium – 2018 International Motor Racing Research Center PROGRAM FRIDAY NOVEMBER 9 Morning Sessions Location: Watkins Glen International Media Center 10:00am to 11:00am Tom Adamich - Formula Vee: The Birth of Florida’s “People’s Race Car” Mr. Adamich is a Digital Asset Librarian and a certified teacher-librarian. A graduate of Kent State University (Ohio) and KSU College, he is in addition President of the Visiting Librarian Service. Mr. Adamich analyzes the deep cultural roots and enduring success of Formula Vee, the “People’s Race Car,” from its origins in the work of Ferdinand Porsche to its birth as an American racing phenomenon in the 1960s. He relates the story of Formula Vee, as both a Volkswagen Beetle adaptation and as a common man’s racing vehicle, focusing on its origin in Florida and the Southeastern United States, the “birthplace of the Formula Vee.” Francis G. Clax - Americans Enter International Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing Francis Clax, a noted expert on early automotive history, describes himself as “a lifetime devotee of all things with a motor that go fast.” From an early age, he mastered automobiles and motorcycles, eventually competing successfully in heavyweight superbike racing. From the late 1980s to 2007, Mr. Clax hosted a prime-time cable series “The Motorcycle” and, more recently, has concentrated on motometer automobilia collecting. Mr. Clax explains how American sportsmen, typically fixtures in almost every type of competitive racing in air, water or on land, were late entrants into the world of open road and closed paved circuit racing events.

    VARAC’s FORMULA CLASSIC CLASSIFICATIONS It is VARAC’s goal to develop an open wheel, Formula Classic, division which is strong enough to support its own grid at any VARAC attended racing event. Formula Classic grid at VARAC’s 40th Anniversary races at Shannonville, 2019 VARAC has three basic open wheel classifications which are aligned to reflect the Club’s sports car classes. They are: Formula Historic, Formula 70 and Formula 90. FORMULA HISTORIC: All Formula cars built before January 1, 1973. These are generally cars built before the evolution of slick tires and aerodynamic appendages. They include everything from Vintage Formula Juniors and 500cc Formula Threes to Formula 5000 cars. The most likely cars of this era (besides those described below) are Formula Bs, the most popular of these being the Brabham BT29. FORMULA 70: All Formula cars built from 1973 to 1989. FORMULA 90: All Formula cars built from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1999. Many F70 and F90 cars are frequently referred to as “wings and slicks” cars, for obvious reasons. During the ‘70s and ‘80s, treadless tires and aerodynamic devises appeared on many Formula cars. Not all Formula car classes were permitted to use slick tires and/or wings, however, for example, Formula Vee and Formula Ford. Usually cost saving was the motive for restricting slicks and/or wings. In VARAC, for now at least, Formula cars are separated into the three general classifications. There are five exceptions to this rule, which are outlined below. Obviously, there are a myriad of Formula car classes and amateur and professional series which raced prior to 2000.

    A Guide to ICSCC Race Classes

    A Guide to ICSCC Race Classes This is meant as a general guide only. For specific requirements refer to the ICSCC Competition Regulations. Sports car racing has the most variety of cars of any type of racing. The cars can be broken down into four basic types: Production cars, GT cars, Formula cars, and Sports Racers. Within each of these types, there are numerous classifications: 53 in all. These classifications are divided into six race groups, and all cars assigned to a particular group will run all practice, qualifying, and races together. Any race has several classes of cars running, so there will be races within the race. This can lead to some confusion as to what is happening on track! This guide will help you sort it out... Production Cars The Production cars are the closest to street vehicles, and many are driven to and from the track. There are very limited modifications permitted. The drive train is for all practical purposes stock. The interior can be stripped to reduce fire hazard, and basic safety equipment is added, such as a roll cage and fire suppression systems. Production cars are divided into ten classes designated ‘A’ through ‘J’. Markings on the car will tell you which class they are in: AP, BP, CP, and so on. The cars are placed into a class by using the ratio of horsepower to curb weight as a guide. Other factors will affect the classification of a particular car such as type of tires being used. As you watch the Production cars you will notice that certain models of cars domi- nate in a given class.
