EMCO GEARS JOINS FORMULA ENTERPRISES RANKS Industry leader  will supply gears to junior formula  

car class

CENTENNIAL, COLO. (November 1, 2011)  – SCCA Formula Enterprises is excited  to announce industry 

leader EMCO Gears is joining the Formula Enterprises community, becoming a gear supplier for the 

growing junior formula car class.

One  of the goals  of the Formula  Enterprises car since its creation was to offer racers the 'best 

bang  for the buck'.  In order  to achieve this endeavor, SCCA Enterprises has worked  with quality 

manufacturers and suppliers over the years. Their latest partner is Indiana-based EMCO Gears, with 

the premier  manufacturer entering the Formula Enterprises ranks as a supplier. EMCO Gears is will 

now manufacture gears, lay shafts, hubs  and dog rings for FE cars  competing in both SCCA Pro 

Racing  and  SCCA Club Racing, with sales and distribution directly to the customer.

"In our extremely tightly controlled spec class it was a calculated risk to leave the transmission 

components open  to any manufacturer to follow the design requirements for supplying parts," stated 

SCCA Enterprises President & CEO Erik Skirmants. "Stepping to the side and not being in the supply 

chain of any part for our cars  is rare,  but with the addition  of EMCO Gears to the mix of gears 

suppliers for the Formula Enterprises, we know it was the right decision. We welcome EMCO and are 

proud  that a company of their reputation noticed the Formula Enterprises car and is now part of 

our supply community."

"EMCO Gears is fortunate to find  partners like SCCA FE and  their competitors to service," said 

Dan L. Cota,  EMCO Gears Director of Racing. "The teams in their pursuit  of excellence should have 

the best products available so that the young  drivers they are  training get the most  seat time 

possible."

EMCO Gears enters the Formula Enterprises gear  supplier market, which is open  to any manufacturer 

who meets the class regulations, as a premier  American  manufacturer of motorsport transmissions 

and drive line equipment, EMCO Gears is well established in the maintenance and  race  preparation 

of motorsport  transmissions, giving Formula Enterprises competitors another option for its gear  

needs, and  it will be offering its service via their Indianapolis Indiana Technical center. Orders 

for the standard FE gear  ratios are  now being taken  at the Indianapolis Indiana Technical center 

(317-243-3836) for a mid-January delivery.

The 2011  SCCA Pro Racing  Formula Enterprises Series season concludes on November 5-6, with Rounds 

Nine and Ten at Road  Atlanta,  as part of the historic American Road  Race of

Champions event.
