Question: Where and when do you race?

Answer: We race at the best tracks in the North East. Schedule can be found here.


Question: How much does it cost?

Answer: Race entry fees can vary based upon track.  For budget purposes assume $195 - $250  for EMRA Sanctioned Races (Pre-registered). Registration after the deadline (1 week prior to race date) will cost an additional $50. Actual Prices can be found on www.emraracing.org.  You are encouraged to pre-register.  It saves you money. Entry fee for outside events (Non-EMRA) will be announced on this website prior to the event.


Question(s): What are the rules, regulations and specifications?

Answer(s):

1) Formula Pro Racing Series is a club within EMRA and follows EMRA\SCCA rules, regulations and specifications. There are a few specific exceptions that differ from SCCA rules and these are listed in the FPR rules book. If you have questions or experience any problems at the track, ask one of the FPR officials. There is a drivers meeting before each race conducted by EMRA and an additional meeting for FPR series drivers conducted by FPR.

2) AMB transponders are required at all races. These are the same as SCCA. You will not be scored if you don’t have a transponder. Contact EMRA or SCCA to purchase one. Hard-wired model is recommended. There are a limited amount of transponders available for rental at the track.

3) In the Club Ford class there is no spec tire rule unless drivers elect to run a spec tire.

4) Entry fee for all non-Pro races (EMRA races) will be announced. Registration after the deadline (1 week prior to race) or at the track is $50 additional. You are encouraged to pre-register; it saves money and you are entitled to a full refund if you don’t put your car on track.

5) Formula Pro Racing is supported by multiple sponsors.  These include Averill Racing Stuff, John Berget Tire,  KFP, Impact Race Products, Pr1mus Racing Parts, MechanixWear. Decals for these sponsors , as well as FPR , must be displayed on the racecar. You will be given these decals at your first race. Please support our sponsors.

6) You must indicate the correct class that you are racing with on the registration form for each race. Formula Pro Racing has 6 classes: FC1, FC2, FCS (FSCCA), FA, FF and CF. You must use this class designation each time you register for a race.

7) Included in your annual membership fee is the annual Tech. inspection. FPR arranges for your inspection at the track or before the race season. This inspection is accepted by EMRA and you have only one inspection per year (except for re-exam for accident damage). Your log book with annual inspection stamp is all you need at Tech. before each race. Our Chief of Tech. is Joe Stimola. He will be at selected races throughout the season and can be reached for information or help at 516-671-9715


Question: How do I register for a race?
