John Brown Racing has been a pioneer of sports compact racing for over 20 years. Whether as a racer, car builder, manufacturer, or event promoter JBRacing has always been passionate about the sports compact community. After the last 20 years of growth in the sports compact industry we find our sport at a major cross road of possible decline. JBRacing feels it necessary to take a leadership role in the hopes of continuing the growth of this awesome sports compact community. JBRacing will do its part by promoting a Florida Sports Compact Series that will offer a venue for all level of racers and spectators to enjoy as we give a rebirth to what was once considered the fastest growing form of motorsports in the USA. At this time JBRacing will encourage all racers, spectators, and shop owners to contact us with your contact information so we can forward updates as the season draws closer. We will post an events schedule as soon as it’s confirmed. The first event is forecasted between april and may 09. Contact @ www.johnbrownracing.com/contact.html

Thank you
John Brown

 

Good stuff. other states may wanna try someting like that

 

Sweet we need some races back in FL, the good old days of turismo performance lol.

sounds great.. Jose and I were talking about doing something like this right before he passed

 

I like it !

 

Is this the John Brown from the old days of the Steven Thompson,and that crazy looking turbo hot rod civic?

 

SPORT COMPACT SERIES, not sports compact, haha but anyways whats it going to do, bounce across the 3 tracks in florida?

 

That's cool you are doing this.

Too bad it's miserable hot in Florida during race season.
Or at least it was the few times I raced there.

 

This sounds good count me in!

 

Good to see so much interest. Remember to fill out contact form if you would like updates.

 

Filled out a contact form. Definitly would love to see something like this around. I think it would be awesome if they traveled to all 4 Florida 1/4 mile drag strips. Palm Beach, Bradenton, Orlando, and Gainesville. I'm in Tampa and if this were to become a reality, I'd be willing to travel.

 

Good thing about florida is that you are only a couple hours from any beach. Also tons of stuff to do near the tracks. Maybe yall should look at Valdosta too.

 

try 40 tracks

 

Would be great to have a points chase and give some guys more reason to travel to all the stops.

What classes are you guys looking to do?


Marc P

 

Good to see you back out John, and good to see someone taking initiative and making something happen.

 

In for this as well. Would like to see something similar to BOTI classes/rules as that seems to be the only sportsman national series at this point.

 

This sounds good!

 

sounds good count me in!

 

Signed up on the contact list.

This has great potential as long as the people planning it can make some events outside of our typical rainy season. Weather is so unpredictable as we all know but there are times of the year when the chances of a rain out are greatly reduced.

 

Signed up as well

SGMP is a really nice track too! Its not far from the florida line so a lot of people should be able to attend that.

 

We are meeting with Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR) tomorrow morning to discuss dates for the first event. Also Series website is almost complete. Remember to fill out contact form so we can offer quicker updates. http://www.johnbrownracing.com/contact.html

I'm down... Got my car almost done and helping out with a couple more... Should be done well before this... Bradenton is my home track, but I'd be willing to travel just about anywhere in the state
