More U.S. Races for Formula Juniors

A group representing U.S. owners of Formula Juniors have announced a series of Formula Junior-only races to be held in 2006. Three dedicated Formula Junior grids will be fielded in conjunction with CSRG races at Thunderhill (May 12โ€“14), Laguna Seca Raceway (September, TBD) and Infineon Raceway (13โ€“15). Other Formula Junior fields are tentatively planned for the Monterey Historics (August 18โ€“20) and the Wine Country Classic at Infineon (June 3โ€“4).

Organizers of this group hope to build upon this yearโ€™s schedule and ultimately create a full American Formula Junior series in the coming years. According to point man Marc Nichols, โ€œThis new initiative will recognize cars in several classifications, reflecting the changes in design and technology that occurred over the course of the Formula Junior era.โ€ More information on these events and the organization can be had by contacting Marc Nichols at (530) 272-3882 or [email protected]
