Inside the SCCA: Racing to rejuvenate FF, with Ted Burns
On episode 211 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, we connect Ted Burns. Ted is a Formula F driver and he is among a group of people working to grow the class. Back in the day Formula Ford was crazy popular. Over the years that popularity has diminished in the U.S. That was reflected in SCCA's decision to change the way the small open-wheel classes qualified for the Runoffs. It was a wake-up call -- and a call to action -- for drivers in those classes. Now there's a renewed urgency to bring it back to the popularity it once had. We'll talk with Ted about the work that's underway and the plans for this year and beyond.
