F100 Adds Pre-Entry Form to Increase Efficiency and Maximize Track Time for Racers!

The Formula 100 Karting Series is excited to announce the addition of a simple, online and free pre-entry form for our racers. The pre-entry form is designed to provide racers a way to save time on race day. Instead of filling out a form and waiting in line, racers will now be able to fill in their information online, before the event, and have their entry items waiting for them to pick up on race day. Simply fill out the form, head to the track, check in at the registration office upon arrival, pay for your items, and you are all set! Its that easy!

The pre-entry form is not binding, and no payments are taken online before race day, so its a win-win for racers. Racers can claim their spot without any repercussions if something were to come up and they are not able to make the event. F100 does ask that racers not abuse this privilege, and to please follow through on your attendance choices. The F100 pre-entry form is designed for the benefit of our racers, to maximize their track time.

F100 pre-entry opens approximately 4 weeks before the event, and runs until the Wednesday prior to the event. You can find the F100 pre-entry form at the following link:

2013 was a huge year for F100, and 2014 promises even more growth, more racers, and more excitement! F100 is so excited for the green flag to drop on 2014, and as part of this excitement, F100 would like to lay down a list of new features for the upcoming season. Thank you to all of our racers who participated in our racer survey, and/or have shared their opinion via email and telephone. Your input is invaluable, and while we may not always be able to implement every suggestion, we certainly do listen and consider everything that we hear. With this in mind, here are the things that F100 has done to make 2014 version of The Formula 100 Karting Series even better:

More staff - track marshall, grid steward, flagman
Video production - KartRacerTV will be on hand at Round #1 to provide video coverage of the event
More racing - F100 has adopted a new race structure that combines the best elements of pea pick with the best elements of qualifying
Better race dates - the F100 schedule avoids conflict with most local and national racing events as well as major holidays
More transponders - F100 has secured the use of more transponders for our racers
RacingWhere.com Countdown Ticker - The RacingWhere.com countdown ticker, placed on the home page, counts down the days to the next F100 event
Pre-Entry - F100 is now offering pre-entry via a simple online form to help increase the efficiency of the registration process
Live Timing - F100, working with Race Monitor, is set to provide live timing for the 2014 season. More details need to be ironed out, and more information will be released soon
New online store - purchase your F100 Membership or F100 swag before you get to the track

And much more...!

F100 started in 2012 as a group of friends who just wanted to race, and in only a few short years the original ideas of F100 have catapulted it into one of the fastest growing racing series anywhere! Thank you to all of our loyal racers for their continued support! We look forward to seeing you at Grange on March 22nd for the opening round of 2014! Be there when the green flag flies!
