IFU is a fun/gimmick race that we did last year at Roebling. It was a bonus race, in addition to the points races, held at the end of the day on Saturday. We had the track to ourselves, and we were the only thing keeping everybody else from hitting the beer and BBQ, so of course they watched!
I sponsored the race from Factory 3 Performance, and everybody kicked in a modest entry fee to help offset the track overtime. We ended up inverting the field twice last year – once at the start, based on qualifying times, then again midway through the race.
The 2nd inversion was a closely held secret, and really added a nice twist to the whole deal. It was just an incredibly fun, competitive race.
Anyway, we’ve blocked out the time with NASA to hold IFU-2 at Roebling this spring, (thanks, Jim P!) so we’d like to get a huge SpecE30 field and put on another great show. We haven’t decided exactly what the format is yet, so expect some differences, but we’ll be sure to make it fun.
We’re also trying to twist the arm of the GRM project car builder to bring his machine up and race with us.
Scott from Beertech is going to do a shirt for us, as well. Gonna be a happening!
We don’t have a Hyperfest down in SE yet, but for the SpecE30 crowd, this is the race you don’t want to miss.
And Ranger, those of us who are married know how precious a “No” is, and we’re honored that you’re choosing to spend this precious commodity for the Roebling weekend.
