so Bill decided that this new formula car would be powered by the awesome little Yamaha R6 sport bike engine.\u00a0 This choice insures a number of factors in that engines can easily be obtained on the second hand market for sometimes less than $1000,\u00a0 parts and technical support is easily available, and the engine comes with factory listed performance data such as maximum power, torque, and rev limit which can be used to govern the series.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Bill had the formula for the mechanical items established, he turned to Dale Estes to assist in crafting the concept into a spec racing series to be run at Willow Springs.\u00a0 Dale Estes is no stranger to racing, having grown up with his father racing at Indianapolis in the 1950s, and later working for his Dad in the family operated Lamborghini distributor.\u00a0 Dale has piloted some incredible cars as well, having driven a Porsche 935 at the 1978 Fuji 1000km Race, among many other racing accomplishments.\u00a0 In recent years Dale has been active in Super Karts and his Anderson 250 TZ Yamaha Super Kart set the track record on the full 2.5 mile road course at 1:18.197 @ 115.104 MPH with Ronnie White at the controls, and the record still stands to this day.<\/p>\n<p>The Formula Pacific Series now had all the key people it needed to move forward.\u00a0 Dale has set about bringing a number of component suppliers onboard to back the fledgling formula.\u00a0 Wilwood Brakes, AIM Data Full GPS Track Mapping Steering Wheels, Ron Davis Radiators, Hoosier Tires, Douglas Wheels, OMF Bead locking, Motul Oil, PJ1 Products, NGK, Speedway Motors Seedy Bill Smith, Sprocket Specialist, 530 EK Chain, and Tillet Seats are fully in place to lend component support and resourcing to this new open wheel formula.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_795793\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-795793\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-795793 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-3.jpg 670w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-3-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-3-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-3-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-3-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-795793\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mechanicals of the prototype Formula Pacific car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While things are still coming into place for this series, the initial reports look promising indeed, with a rolling chassis being built in Washington State\u00a0to full series specification for just $12,500USD.\u00a0 Estes and Huth figure that for a mere $1000-$3000 more, a racer can obtain a used Yamaha R6 600cc drive train and perform the installation work to have a running car.\u00a0 That was the basis of the entire concept that Bill first envisioned, to have a small formula style machine that would be extremely thrifty to run and maintain.<\/p>\n<p>To keep the racing competitive and focused on the driver\u2019s abilities, the R6 engines will be closely scrutinized to insure they remain virtually stock in all aspects.\u00a0 Dale Estes comments, \u201cWe plan to have a post race chassis dyno check for all competitors.\u00a0 Gearing will be specific to the series since it will only be run at the Willow Springs facility.\u00a0 There will be a heavy and light class set up.\u00a0 We are also opening a new sales and parts department here at the track under the main tower off the front straight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A testing prototype has been constructed and is powered by the more powerful Yamaha R1 1000cc drive train.\u00a0 The reason for using the R1 drive train in the test mule is two fold.\u00a0 First, the higher power and torque output of the R1 engine will insure that the chassis is up to handling the riggers of racing with a 600cc R6 engine spinning at 16,000+ rpm.\u00a0 Secondly, it will potentially open the door to a new series for competitors who want to move up from their R6 powered vehicles after 2011; the transition being accomplished simply by replacing the engine, not the entire machine.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_795792\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-795792\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-795792 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-2-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-2-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-2-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/formula-pacific-bill-huth-0-2-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-795792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yamaha R1 powered prototype Formula Pacific car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis prototype Formula Pacific should out run our old Super Kart record, again with driver Ron White.
