Hi Racers,
Fall is fast approaching and that means the 19t.h
season of ISF racing is about to begin.
After much reflection and feedback there are going to be some changes for this year.
After much reflection and feedback there are going to be some changes for this year.
The first is the schedule itself.
Over the last several years new racers have joined and more tracks have been added.
The SHMUC series has been a big hit and people have expressed interest in trying different racing events for fun and friendship.

The SHMUC series has been a big hit and people have expressed interest in trying different racing events for fun and friendship.
With those ideas in mind
the ISF schedule is going back to 10 events or less.
All of the races will be scheduled from September-January and will dovetail with the Indyslotcar series with ISF events being hosted in the week before or after the Indyslotcar event.

From January to May the SHMUC series will take over.
SHMUC will put together the schedule and let us all know about that series separately

By compacting the ISF dates it leaves several dates open for tracks to host
other events (i.e. a 57 Chevy race, vintage race cars, or the return of the 2.4
hour race.
It also allows SHMUC to have the freedom to have more special events of the SHMUC series.

The second change is the tires.
For GTP ISF is moving from the PVT-01 to a new tire.
ISF will be purchasing a big lot of tires. These tires are hard compound and the league will be surprised if you need more than two sets for the entire year. The downside is they are $3 per set.
Drivers will be asked to purchase tires from the league so everyone has tires from the same lot.
If they last as long as indicated in testing you might get away with sets lasting for several seasons.
Drivers keep the tires that are purchased.

The same tire for GTP will also be the same tire for F1.
This new tire can be used on either stock or double flanged rims.
Rim size needs to be a minimum of .250 for the tire to work.
Tyco stock tires will again be used. They have to be treaded and have stock lettering or remains of lettering.
Drivers can have tires mounted on a spare
axle for pit stops if they choose.
The league will hand out the stock tires at each race and will have a big lot of stock tires that drivers can pick from at each race.

On the schedule we also have two races marked for TV races. We’ve
done a few broadcasts in the past and either date, or maybe both dates, will
mark the 250 ISF event.
In looking at de-slots all drivers now have the same amount
of de-slots. None of the series regulars have “rookie” status any longer.
Race nights start promptly at 6:30 and there will be a running clock for all
heat races and finals, with exceptions only being called by the marshals.
This will be a shorter and intense season and we look forward
to competing with you again!
