Ccc Racing Banned From Ogs1320 Events
PRESS RELEASE:*
The CCC Racing Family WILL NOT be allowed to defend their 2014 HONDA DAY ATCO win this year due to a phone call from OGSTech banning the CCC Racing Team from their events. The reason is still unclear as to why the CCC Racing team cannot attend the events in 2015 managed by “Javier Ortega” The only reason we have received thus far was from a brief phone call stating “we at OGS1320 run the events and it’s our decision on what we do. At this time CCC Racing is not allowed to run Honda Day events or any OGS1320 events.”*
We have been supporting these events for over 10+ years (spring nationals, Summer Slam, Fall Nationals and Honda Day events) with our cars and customers cars. It comes to a surprise to us to get this phone call with no intentions of why. We recently sent OGS1320 an email and they said they would get back to us in 3 weeks with a letter.*
To our fans and sponsors we will keep you updated about the situation as we get more information but as of right now we are not planning to run these events. There are still plenty of events scheduled for the team that support us like GRS Orlando SFWD Shootout, Import Face Off, MIR irev, MIR World Cup and Latin American Sports Compact events. We will run these events and have a full schedule out soon.*

Yea really unsure what they did here. Maybe they were cheating and OGS found out but would rather keep it on the DL. Instead of releasing what they found out rather have CCC tell their side of the story. Just my 2cents/OP. But really sucks to see this

Lol, love how drag racing folk are about calling anything and everything on a forum a press release, but can't proof read a thread title.

I would think if CCC was caught cheating, they wouldn't be publicly defending their Banning as openly.

Didn't they have a turbo measured at World cup in the fall and it wasn't to spec, I remember hearing people in the pits talking about it.

Re: Ccc Racing Band From Ogs1320 Events
Javier hates ftw fuel
Ftw fuel sponsored new grs sfwd series
Ccc car is on the flyers
Ccc car has ftw fuel banner
Ccc car is banned from ogs.
Doesn't seem too far fetched to me.

That's plausible but only valid if VP or Sunoco or a competing fuel brand is now a major sponsor. But to pull that kind of **** in the sportsman ranks is just straghit DIRTY. It's not unheard of in professional ranks. When FULL THROTTLE took over the NHRA series, Kenny Bernstein had to give up Monster as a team sponsor. but that's in the PROFESSIONAL ranks.

David hsu and javier
Skunk2 engineers calling out all the other big names.
Skunk2 and ftw sponsored car winning the flagship class
Plus they ran over the mph of their cage cert and we're supposedly paid off not to talk after another team did the same thing without consequence.

Re: Ccc Racing Band From Ogs1320 Events
Seems a bit premature for a "press release". When you don't have all the facts to release.
Release the story when you can lay out the "why" and "how".

Re: Ccc Racing Banned From Ogs1320 Events
You guys are making a lot of assumptions. There are a lot of other teams using and sponsored by FTW that are still going to race, so I'd take that reason off your list of speculations.
I have no opinion and no knowledge of any reasoning...just pointing out that above.

OGS did mandate a weight penalty for racers using FTW last season so there is definitely some validity to it.

Re: Ccc Racing Banned From Ogs1320 Events
They added a weight penalty because it was a performance advantage in all motor, just like any sanctioning body does when a certain setup is out performing others to keep the racing close and in sport fwd there was always a 50lb penalty for any ethanol so SFWD wasn't even affected.
Then they came out with gas based red and they just said screw it that's 50 lbs too. Hilarious really. And it was like 1-2 days before an event if I'm not mistaken. After it had been allowed at the previous race with no 50 lb penalty.

Keep in mind we are talking about a guy who unfriended or blocked people that went to race at Drag Mania events and helped advertise. Doesn't seem too far fetched. But of course we are just speculating.

Re: Ccc Racing Banned From Ogs1320 Events
In all motor FTW is a performance advantage gas / ethanol doesn't matter and no one will deny that. That is why their is a 50lb weight penalty, now 95% of the people run FTW so taking away the 50lbs doesn't really do anything it just makes every car in the class quicker, which in turn can scare away new comers.
In SFWD Ethanol is an advantage "Cheap" C85 seams to be going just as quick in Ramey's car, so it's not screwing any one nor is it hindering people who choose to use "cheap" ethanol. Again it is a performance advantage over gas.
(I have no opinion on the banning of CCC, nor is it of any of my concern when the official reason comes out the internet can keep gossiping, these are just MY OPINIONS on fuel rules)
