Inside the SCCA: How Ted Burns Plans to Revive Formula Ford Racing
Formula F racing is experiencing a revival effort led by dedicated drivers like Ted Burns. Once a hugely popular racing class, Formula Ford has seen declining participation in recent years, prompting SCCA to modify qualification rules for small open-wheel classes at the Runoffs.
This change served as a catalyst for action among Formula F enthusiasts. Burns and fellow drivers are now spearheading initiatives to restore the class to its former glory through various growth strategies and promotional efforts.
The revival plan focuses on:
- Increasing driver participation
- Enhancing visibility of Formula F events
- Developing sustainable growth strategies
- Building a stronger community around the sport

These efforts represent a crucial turning point for Formula F racing, with organizers implementing both short-term improvements and long-term development plans to ensure the class's future success in U.S. motorsports.
Current initiatives and future plans demonstrate the community's commitment to preserving and growing this historic racing category, with support from both veteran drivers and new enthusiasts joining the movement.
