  • Than 27 Years of Helping Sick Children Through Motorsports
    More than 27 Years of Helping Sick Children Through Motorsports The Program The Team Fast Facts Media Coverage Photos - Special Events www.racingforkids.org The Program Racing For Kids® is a unique national charity, which uses the popularity of motorsports to bring attention and funding to the health care needs of children and child health institutions. At the heart of the program are visits to Children’s Hospitals by the Racing For Kids drivers in the cities where they race. The drivers spend time with each sick child, sharing stories about their racing careers, signing autographs and giving out the popular Racing For Kids hats. For many hospitalized youngsters, these visits by the racers are the lone bright spot in what is often a rather gloomy experience. Attending physicians report that these visits play an important part in each child’s recovery therapy. Racing For Kids representatives have visited close to 30,000 sick children in more than 575 hospital visits in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Japan and Australia. Another important aspect of the Racing For Kids program is the funding that has been raised for Children’s Hospitals across the country. Since its founding in Detroit in 1989, Racing For Kids has raised more than $6.5 million through donations, specific fund raising events and in-kind gifts. Major sponsors of Racing For Kids include Humana, Inc., Bridgestone Firestone Trust Fund, TranSystems, Meridian Health Plan of Michigan, Benson Ford, Jr. and Douglas E. Fregin. Toyota Motorsports and The Grand Prix Foundation of Long Beach have made Racing For Kids a major charity of The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.

  • March Formula 5000 Cars in the SCCA Championship
    March Formula 5000 cars in the SCCA Championship by Wolfgang Klopfer In the 1970s and 1980s March Engineering was one of the biggest race car manufacturers. The single seaters from Bicester, England, won numerous Indycar, F2, F3 and F Atlantic races and championships and even three Grand Prix, courtesy of Jackie Stewart, Vittorio Brambilla and Ronnie Peterson. The March F5000 efforts began with an unconventional concept. In 1972 Englishman John Cannon raced a March F2 chassis with a weight-saving 4.7 liter Oldsmobile powerplant. Cannon put the good-handling car on pole position in the third SCCA round at Watkins Glen. But in the race he retired with a head gasket failure. The Oldsmobile`s unreliabiltity and its 70 hp deficit prevented Cannon from using the car`s full potential. The Englishman scored only two top ten placings and was 23rd overall in the 1972 series. In 1973 March produced the 73A. The car based on the F1 model and had front radiators in a wide sports car-type nose. It was built around the ubiquitious Chevrolet. Chassis were sold to Americans John Gunn, Gus Hutchison, Bob Lazier and Skip Barber. The latter had had some success with a F1 March in the 1972 series and should spearhead the March works attack in 1973. But after 3 DNFs, a distant 9th place at Laguna Seca and endless handling and engine troubles Barber had enough of the car. Bob Lazier discarded his machine after two races for a Lola T330. Only Gus Hutchison and John Gunn persevered with their 73As.
