2008 Daytona Classic National

Chuck McAbee — 2008-05-04T18:59:36

The 2008 Daytona Classic National is now history. The Big Formula cars play nicer with their smaller cousins than the Spec Wrecker Fords. The only metal to metal of the weekend was and Atlantic and a FE got together in the kink in the infield during the first qualifying session, which caused a 10 minute Black Flag All. Both cars were repaired and were able to race on Sunday. The were eight F500's registered, however Jeff Moench wasn't able to get his car ready with the crush of paying business and family commitments. The F500 Pole was secured by Bob Berman with a lap of 2:09.167 over Jim Elder with a 2:09.363. The rest of the F500 qualified in the Teens and beyond. The race was won by Bob Berman, with Jim Elder 2nd, Chris Hite 3rd, Chuck McAbee 4th, Tommy Manalio 5h, Derek Lieb 6th, and Wayde Alfarone a DNF. Wayde had been experiencing exhaust manifold issues all weekend. The Weather Steward cooperated with clear days with temperatures in the low to mid 80's. Additionally thanks to the events scheduling all the National events were concluded prior to lunch leaving the after lunch time to the Enduro crowd. It was not having to wait around this year for the Enduros to be given preference over the National competitors in track time. It was also great not to be hassled by Daytona Security to get loaded up an leave the track after being the last race of the event.

Tom Nehl National XXX

Chuck McAbee — 2008-03-03T01:03:15

The 30th Tom Nehl National was held at Roebling Road Raceway outside Savannah, GA on the March 1-2 Weekend. Entry from all classes was down with only 137 registered. On top of the thin registration, there were additional no shows. The Registered 14 car grouping of F500-FF-FV was reduced to 11 when Clint McMahan and two of the 3 Fords were not able to attend. After the first practice session on Saturday morning the field was shrunk to 10 as Tom Manalio had engine problems that could not be fixed at the track. The Weather Steward performed his duties flawlessly! While the morning were cool, in the 40's, once the Sun arrived the temps improved to the upper 60's to low 70's. Very comfortable racing. The race was flagged off at approximately 10 AM with the lone Ford checking out. Wayde Alfarone and I were the lone F500's with me qualified on the pole. At the drop of the flag we both checked out from the FV field and for 19 laps Wayde filled my mirrors at nearly every turn until I had a heim joint break in the front suspension causing me to have a snap spin on the short chute between turns 4 & 5. That was the race as Wayde Alfarone won his initial National Race. Congratulations Wayde.

I've been a member of this list literally since day one (or maybe day two). Your service provided the "glue" to bind us together, broker car sales, publish race event logistics, host debates, and, yes, even serve to publish a few eulogies. How can you thank someone for not charging for such a service as this? "Thank you" is all I have, Eric but, it is felt from the heart. Good luck, sir.

I found my car in an ad in a local for sale type of magazine. At that time, I didn't know what a F.B.I. was, but with the aid of Eric's site, I soon became very enthused, and had learned quite a lot before I went to see the car. Thanks again, Eric. If I hadn't had the technical and activities information that was available from the F.B.I. e-mail group, I never would have bought the car.

Last moth 98% of the posts were just spam (which of course got filtered fro the list - I was the only one who had to wade though them all). Also, as most of you know the f500.org site has been badly broken for some time now. It was attacked by hackers a few months ago and I've never really had the time to fix everything. On top of it all, the server that hosts f500.org is getting pretty old and really needs to be retired or replaced. So, with a bit of sadness I need to announce the end of the F500 mailing list. The list will go silent sometime in the next couple weeks. The website will be rehosted on a shared server, but in a considerably trimmed down form. Since there has been very, very little contributed content over the years, and I no longer have the time to author content myself, it makes little sense to keep maintaining news, product reviews, etc. Classifieds are handled by the forums now, so they will be gone as well. I will get the photo gallery back online on the new server. The server transition will take few weeks. I will retain the F500.org Mailing List Archives (and actually fix them so they are searchable again) on the new site. I do want to thank all the people who have made the f500 mailing list a fun place to hang out. I've enjoyed hosting it and do feel a bit sad to pull the plug. But the end of and era also signals the beginning of a new era, and I know that Rob Howden and his team at eformulacarnews.com will do a great job continuing to support the F500 community. ----- Eric D Christensen ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.

Eric, I can honestly say that without this email list, I would not have an F500 sitting in my garage today. Thank you so much for your efforts. For all those who prefer a mail list to a forum, a while back I set up an F500 group on Yahoo Groups just to reserve the name. If you would like to join go to http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/f500/?yguid=139169274 and join the group. Since I manage a couple of groups for work, I am on the Yahoo site at least every weekday and it won't add anything to speak of to my workload.

Eric - Even though I have been away from the F500 scene for a few years, I still kept subscribing to the site as I had met many fine people through your efforts. It is true that time does march on and this is a sad event. Wish you all of the best and thank you!

Last moth 98% of the posts were just spam (which of coursegot filtered fro the list - I was the only one who had to wade though themall). Also, as most of you know the f500.org site has been badly broken for sometime now. It was attacked by hackers a few months ago and I've never reallyhad the time to fix everything. On top of it all, the server that hostsf500.org is getting pretty old and really needs to be retired or replaced. So, with a bit of sadness I need to announce the end of the F500 mailinglist. The list will go silent sometime in the next couple weeks. The websitewill be rehosted on a shared server, but in a considerably trimmed downform. Since there has been very, very little contributed content over theyears, and I no longer have the time to author content myself, it makeslittle sense to keep maintaining news, product reviews, etc. Classifieds arehandled by the forums now, so they will be gone as well. I will get thephoto gallery back online on the new server. The server transition will takefew weeks. I will retain the F500.org Mailing List Archives (and actually fix them sothey are searchable again) on the new site. I do want to thank all the people who have made the f500 mailing list a funplace to hang out. I've enjoyed hosting it and do feel a bit sad to pull theplug. But the end of and era also signals the beginning of a new era, and Iknow that Rob Howden and his team at eformulacarnews.com will do a great jobcontinuing to support the F500 community. -----Eric D Christensen --Forwarded Message Attachment--From: cvoboril-9qIDKF5zsuZhl2p70BpVqQ< at >public.gmane.org: f500-jvv0Jmu/ioDCU+kf2dZSMA< at >public.gmane.org: Sun, 17 Feb 2008 16:14:41 -0700Subject: RE: [F500] End of an era - F500 mailing listEric,Thanks for all your hard work over the years.
