Race promoter (and former racer) Henry DeGouw’s controversial plan to encourage racers in the Formula One class at his CCS-sanctioned events to run without mufflers goes into full effect Saturday, February 12 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The schedule calls for practice on Saturday with racing starting at 9:30 a.m. Sunday.

FIRST PERSON/OPINION

Via e-mail:

I have to add my two cents worth about Henry DeGouw.

HENRY IS ONE OF THE FEW REASONS ROAD RACING IS ALIVE IN THE US.

For twenty-five years plus he has provided the opportunity for racers to compete at well run events. If you win at these events you want to build a display case your awards, not paper the walls of your garage with them.

His events offer a sense of celebration and class unavailable at most club events, which tend to be unglorified pay to ride track days.

His ideas have been copied by other clubs. The $1000 Shoot Out, a chance for expert riders to win money at club events–WHAT A CONCEPT. That was twenty-five years ago. Henry’s love and devotion to the sport and his efforts to make his events exciting and well attended are to be applauded.

He has had his finger on the pulse of road racing a long time, as a racer, manager, promoter, and motorcyclist. If he says we need to make some noise,

LET’S MAKE SOME NOISE!

Thank You,
