Formula & Automobile Racing Association (FARA) – Dec. 21, 2008
The sweet aroma of burnt rubber and the sound of squealing tires filled the air on December 20th-21st, 2008 at the Formula & Automobile Racing Association (FARA) event at the Homestead Motor Speedway in Miami, FL. FARA was established in South Florida and is an organization made up of mainly amateur and beginner level drivers and enthusiasts dedicated to the world of auto racing. FARA provides its members with the ability to practice their driving skills and fine-tune their techniques in an economical, safe, and equal fashion as they divide their members into classes based on driver skill and their race vehicles. Lead by Reinaldo “Tico” Almeida (President), Bob Van Epps (Race Director), Reinaldo Santos, and Elier J. Rodriguez; FARA is one of the most highly organized and widely acclaimed racing associations in the South-Eastern United States. FARA uses multiple classes to group its members and provide an equal playing field for them including; two classes of Formula Cars, two classes of Sport Racers, and four classes of Production Cars.
FARAs most recent event at the Homestead Motor Speedway was an excitement filled weekend that was attended by more than eighty drivers and even more spectators, including the crew from Rezmoto. The full-road course at the Homestead Motor Speedway is 2.21 miles long and each driver got 10 runs around the track, many of whom were pushing the limits of their cars capabilities reaching speeds of well over 100 miles per hour. The auto’s that drew the most attention on the track were a white Ford GT with blue racing stripes, a Porsche 997 with screaming twin-turbos, a Porsche 997 GT3, a Ferrari F430’s, two Ferrari Modena 360’s, a silver Nissan GT-R, Nissan turbocharged 350Z, and many others including Lamborghini’s, Audi’s, and BMW’s ranging from lightly-modified to fully track-modified euro’s. Congratulations to Eduardo Rodriguez in his Porsche GT3 and Sean Burstyn in his Formula Mazda for posting the best lap times in their respective classes on Saturday, and to Woodson Duncan and Sean Burstyn for posting the best lap times in their respective classes on Sunday.
