announced. The ACC race winner will receive $1000, second place will receive
$750 and third place will receive $500 at the remaining races in 2002.

“The goal of the ACC class has always been to allow drivers with a limited
to budget to come race in the pro series,” said Jon Baytos, owner of the
Formula Ford 2000 Zetec Championship. “By eliminating the entry fee, we
believe more drivers will have the opportunity to take part in the Zetec
Championship.”
