    Default New "development" racing series revealed!

    I've been enjoying reading all of the race reports so far this season, and I'm anxious to join the action, but was called earlier than expected this spring to work on a new race series and assist with some young driver development.

    Here's a sneak peak for the Northeast Division IT crowd of a new "development" series to help feed the SCCA racing ranks for years to come - Spec Cozy Coupe - and our newest driver in the series, Sitota Levine. I hope that we will be able to make an appearance soon at a racetrack near you (as soon as I find time to wrench on my own car).

    Noam,

    I am a store manager for Toys R US up in concord NH. Almost everyear we have Power Wheel races in the parking lot... Maybe I should let my RVP know and see if we can become a corporate sponsor of your series

    On a serious note... as kids get older kids want whats impossible to get and every year we have an impossible to get toy... if you ever need that impossible toy PM me and I'll see what I can do!

    Love the cozy coupe idea! I may steal the idea from you!

    I'm damaged but I can't help picturing a flock of those things going 12 wide into T1, banging fenders. Drivers flipping each other off and throwing their helmets after climbing out of their bent Cozy Car, perched on top of a tire wall...

    Post-race impound could have lollypops instead of cool washcloths.

    Post-race mandatory time out could have lollypops instead of cool washcloths.

    If you can bring the registration numbers, Butch Kummer will create a Cozy Coupe class at the ARRC, for sure. Maybe he would have to consider a race length less than 20 laps though.

    If the track wasn't worried about the liability coverage, I could EASILY see a CozyCoupe class at the ARRC by GRM. The start line would be up by Turn Three, then come down the hill toward Turn One with the finish line about the 100 marker (in full view of those partying at the Chalet)!

    This would obviously be after all the sessions were completed on Friday, and penalties would be applied for spilling the (required) adult beverage.

    Or given it to a fellow racer that has a small one dying to get into one.

    Finally we'll see some real talent in a series! My son has a similar type of car - SCCA and Kessler Engineering decals going on it this week. Although he sure does seem to enjoy Jeff Lawton's plastic Saturn more.
