We recognise that the original proposal to exclude the Reynard 87/88/89 FF Cars (which was prompted only by their success in recent years in the popular NW FF1600 series) has proved controversial and that many people feel that the exclusion of these chassis is unnecessary and undesirable.
We are happy to listen to what people think particularly those who are recognised authorities on FF1600 during this period. We have certainly not adopted any entrenched position on this matter and there are no vested interests or hidden agendas involved. Our aim is only to try and establish a healthy Pre 90 FF1600 series to compliment our existing Pre82/Pre74 series and strengthen our Club for the benefit of all.
We therefore propose to amend the rules of this pilot series to allow all Pre 90 FF1600 chassis to compete.
If the Pilot series runs with enough success to make a more permanent race series worth considering then at that point any future Class Structure and any other rules can be reviewed with the wishes of all the participants being paramount when making any changes.
We should say that at present we have had 8 enquiries about the series and that 4 of these potential Drivers have requested the necessary form to join as associate members (pre 90) as we described in our original post.
We need a minimum of 12 registrations within the next 2-3 weeks if the series is to go ahead at all.
If you are interested in participating the series please contact Peter Hackett our Club Co-ordinator as soon as possible by email - P.Hackett@hotmail.co.uk
Finally we would like to reassure prospective and existing Pre 1982 Classic Formula Ford Register Members that promotion of the interests of the existing Classic FF1600 race series remains a top priority for the Committee, and that the work relating to the Pre 90 Pilot Series cannot and will not be allowed to reduce our efforts in that area.
Regards
The Classic Formula Ford Register Committee.

FANTASTIC news, and great to hear that common sense has prevailed! I would love to take part, although admittedly have no intention of travelling 'ooop north' due to pressures of work and family life, but would be keen participate in races south of donington (inclusive). how do I go about registering my interest?
Thanks
