Along with the large turnout expected in the traditional F100 classes for Senior and Masters aged racers, F100 has made a few changes to the race day program that are sure to improve the overall experience and promote further growth. F100 has added a new Cadet class, FC1 Comer Cadet, for Cadet aged racers with the popular Comer 80 engine! F100 will allow the use of the Vega FH tire in the FC1 Comer Cadet class, to make it easy for racers racing their Comer 80 in other series to come and race with F100!
Along with the addition of the FC1 Comer Cadet class, F100 has also changed the race day structure for Cadet aged racers. The new structure, consisting of one warm-up, one qualifying session, one heat and one main event, will provide ample track time at a much lower cost than other series and will allow racers to spend less time at the track race day. Please see the following link for more information about the new FC1 Comer Cadet class and the new Cadet race day structure:
For Senior and Masters aged racers, F100 has changed the maximum allowable gear sizes for the FK125 and FK125 Masters classes. The new gearing should result in slightly quicker lap times while still keeping maximum rpm's to a reasonable level to promote engine reliability and keep costs down. Minimum weights have also been changed for both FK125 and FK125 Masters. These two changes bring the FK125 and FK125 Masters classes more in line with what other series are series for the various engine packages allowed in the FK125 and FK125 Masters classes, making it easier than ever for racers who are new to F100 to enjoy an affordable, competitive and fun race day with F100!
