Huffaker Battles Hope to Claim First F2000 Victory in Round Nine For Immediate Release Huffaker Battles Hope to Claim First F2000 Victory in Round Nine Sonoma, Calif. (July 1, 2016) –The ninth round of the Pacific Formula F2000/F1600 Championship presented by Primus Racing Parts, held at Sonoma Raceway with the San Francisco Region of the SCCA in their SFR Championship Series Double Regional was won by Scott Huffaker, the 2015 F1600 Champion, after a spirited duel with Tom Hope. This was Huffaker’s first win in the series since moving up to the F2000 class as the youngster from Menlo Park is still adapting the increase in performance these cars provide. After a morning practice, qualifying was held early Friday afternoon under sunny skies and warm conditions with temperatures reaching into the eighties. Timothy De Silva, #3, TLP Racing, DRF Van Diemen, assumed his now customary position at the head of the pack as he claimed another pole position turning in a lap of 1 minute 34.401 seconds and was the only driver to break the 1 minute 35 second barrier. Occupying the front row with De Silva was Tom Hope; #10, Primus Racing Parts, Dart, H+M Racing Van Diemen RF03. The second row of the grid was headed by Scott Huffaker; #09, Van Diemen RF02 lining up next to Bob Negron, #9, Terri Negron Web Design, Rosy’s at the Beach, Negron Racing Van Diemen RF99. Following this pair were Scott Vreeland, #51, Redhorse Constructors, Porter Racing, BV Training Van Diemen RF01, Paul Rodler in his #45, Porter Racing, 1991 Swift DB6/Pinto, Peter West; #99, Racing Optics, Kodenko Jeans, Malibu Health, Frank Monise Motors, DFR Van Diemen RF05, Harin de Silva; #96, DFR Van Diemen RF06, Tim Fass; #34, Fass Brothers Racing Van Diemen RF96, Ken Rozeboom; #81, Porter Racing Van Diemen RF02, William Jordanov; #59, Van Diemen RF99 and Geoffrey Fass; #85, Fass Brothers Racing Van Diemen RF96. The field took the green flag on time for the 5:00pm start and as they field streamed through turn one and headed up the hill to turn two it was Timothy De Silva with the lead by the end of the first lap it was De Silva followed by Scott Huffaker, Tom Hope, Bob Negron, Scott Vreeland, Paul Rodler, Peter West, Harindra De Silva, Tim Fass, Ken Rozenboom, William Jordanov and Geoffrey Fass. De Silva continued to lead for the next several laps with Huffaker and Hope following in his wheel tracks and they were beginning to pull away from Negron, Vreeland and the rest of the field. Tim Fass was the first retirement on lap four and was followed by Tim De Silva three laps later when he suffered a punctured radiator and quickly retired the car to prevent further damage. With the retirement of De Silva, Scott Huffaker assumed his place at the head of the field and became the first driver to lead a lap in the series since round two in Fontana in January. Not alone at the head of the field, Huffaker was harried and challenged closely for the lead by Tom Hope with the pair often side by side as evidenced by the wheel mark on the left sidepod of Hope’s Van Diemen. This battle continued lap after lap until the checkered flag when it was Scott Huffaker taking the hard fought victory to end De Silva’s winning streak at six. Tom Hope, the 2015 series champion had to settle for second place just two and a half seconds behind. Finishing in third for the final step on the podium was Bob Negron whose Van Diemen did not quite have the pace of the leaders today finishing a further fourteen seconds in arrears. Negron’s effort also netted him the Master Class win. Just off the podium in fourth place came Scott Vreeland for his best finish thus far this season. Vreeland was followed by Peter West who studied Paul Rodler’s line for the first half of the race before finally moving ahead of the lone Swift in the race on lap eight to claim fifth place with Rodler in sixth. They were followed by Harindra De Silva, Ken Rozenboom and William Jordanov, the last car running at the finish. The field returns Saturday afternoon for qualifying for the Sunday morning race to be held at 9:45 in the morning.

  • Background the Oneamerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon Has Become One of the Largest Events of the Festival Since Its Initial Running in 1977
    Background The OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon has become one of the largest events of the festival since its initial running in 1977. The 13.1-mile course begins in downtown Indianapolis, circles around the world-famous oval track at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway® and finishes at Military Park. The original field of 800 people has expanded over the past 34 years to now include 35,000 participants that represent all 50 states and 13 different countries. In 1987, the race was named one of the “nation’s largest half- marathons,” and by 1990 the Mini had become a televised event. The Mini is now the nation’s largest half-marathon, the 6th largest timed running event in the USA, and the 21st largest event in the world (source: Runningusa.org). The Mini- Marathon is not just a running event; it also includes the 500 Festival Mini-Marathon Expo and the 500 Festival Post Race Party. The Expo, which is free and open to the public, is held for two days prior to the race and is the only place all participants can pickup their race packets. The Expo attracts over 100 vendors and sponsors, and over 40,000 people go through the turnstiles to check out the latest products, clothing and other gear in running and fitness. The Post Race Party is held during and after the race near the finish line and draws over 70,000 attendees for free. The Post Race Party has two live stages with music, a beer garden, Running Club Village, food and beverage vendors and numerous sponsors giving away fun items throughout the day.

The Elantra N TCR is the racing version of the 2021 North American Car of the Year, the Hyundai Elantra. The #98 Elantra N TCR started third with Parker Chase behind the wheel. Racing for his first TCR victory, Chase passed for second on the start and challenged the No. 19 Van der Steur Racing Hyundai Veloster for the first half of the race, battling for the lead on several occasions. Chase made the pass just before the full-course caution halfway through the two-hour race on the rolling hills of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. “It was a blast out there chasing that Veloster for the lead. It’s great to get the first Elantra win for Hyundai Motor America and Bryan Herta Autosport,” said Chase. “I had a good rookie season last year with a lot of podiums in the Veloster, but it really feels good to get the win, and I think there will be more with this Elantra N TCR, it is a great race car.” The #98 crew took advantage of the mid-race caution to service the Elantra with four tires, fuel and to execute the mandatory driver change. Ryan Norman, a native of Aurora, Ohio and the 2020 IMPC Champion took the reins and rejoined the race in second behind the #27 Hyundai Veloster of Copeland Motorsports.

    1000 N. Main Street Mansfield, TX 76063, USA mouser.com (817) 804-3800 For Immediate Release Mouser Electronics Connects with Engineers Through High Technology IndyCar Platform All-new Dallara DW12 Chassis showcases state-of-the-art electronics March 22, 2012 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., regarded as a top design engineering resource and global distributor for semiconductors and electronic components, today unveiled the No. 11 MOUSER ELECTRONICS/GEICO/KV Racing Technology Chevrolet Dallara to be driven by IndyCar Champion Tony Kanaan for the 2012 IZOD® IndyCar Series. The 2012 IZOD® IndyCar Series season will be the 101st season of American open wheel racing. It also marks the biggest change to the sport in recent history as the existing car used through 2011 – a 2003 model Dallara IR-05 powered by naturally aspirated V8 engines – is permanently retired. Driven by the need to increase driver safety and performance, the ICONIC Project (Innovative, Competitive, Open-Wheel, New, Industry- Relevant, Cost-Effective) was led by experts and executives from racing and technical fields. The committee included Randy Bernard, William R. Looney III, Brian Barnhart, Gil de Ferran, Tony Purnell, Eddie Gossage, Neil Ressler, Tony Cotman and Rick Long. IndyCar accepted proposals from BAT Engineering, Dallara, DeltaWing, Lola and Swift for chassis design. At the finish, organizers accepted the Dallara proposal. Under the new ICONIC regulations, all teams will compete with a core rolling chassis, called the "IndyCar Safety Cell," developed by Italian designer Dallara. Teams will then outfit the chassis with various "Aero Kits," which consist of front and rear wings, sidepods, and engine cowlings.
