OFFC CAN AM CUP: New sposors, awards and format


The Ontario Formula Ford Championship is pleased to announce new series sponsors, awards, and an exciting new format and date of the 2010 Can Am Cup.

Starting up front is critical in all racing and the coveted pole position is something every driver strives for. New for 2010 is the MG Homes Pole Position award. MG Homes will present to the driver of the most overall pole positions a watch valued at over $500.

Joining the OFFC is also Rod Ends Mechanical. The supplier of Aurora rod ends, will award the B Class Champion a $250 gift certificate and the C Class Champion a $100 gift certificate redeemable with Rod End Mechanical.

MK Technologies is one of North America's most recognized names in race support equipment with a full spectrum of products from car stands to alignment platforms and overhead cranes. MK Technologies will award a product prize at each OFFC double header to "The driver of the event". The criteria will be unveiled prior to the first event.

The 2010 Can Am Cup has moved from it's traditional fall date to the Nascar Canadian Tire weekend June 11-13. It will also feature a new format for awarding the Cup. Rounds 5 and 6 of the 2010 OFFC will be run during the weekend and the driver who accumulates the most points over the two rounds will be the Can Am Cup winner. A tie breaking system will be in place to ensure one winner. With the assistance of Steve Beeler (who co organized the 40th anniversary of Formula Ford at Road America last July), the OFFC has been working at hosting a group of SCCA drivers at the event. BGR Sports and Entertainment will host a Saturday evening get together for some bench racing and general good fun.

Work on developing relationships with series supporters continues and more announcements will be coming.

"We are thrilled to welcome our new partners and are proud to showcase their products and services through the OFFC" says OFFC steering committee member Brian Graham. "The Can Am Cup looks to be a great event and the new date and format will hopefully entice some of our American friends who now should not have to worry about possible snow! The most inexpensive entry fee of the year for our highest profile event is always a good draw. Drivers interested in attending can find out more info at our website or by talking to any of our steering committee members."
