We had a good turnout with 21 racers.
.

We ran three seven racers mains using overall total lap format.
7 racers in the 2.9s. Lots of 3.1s. You had to be low 3.1s to be in the B Main. A hi 3.1 puts you in the C main.

Concourse went to Bob Ricca.


Jeremy Marquette TQ with 2.926



21 cars thru Tech.

C MAIN

Red Chase Morgan, White Andy Stapars, Green Roy Lievanos, Orange Tim Wood, Blue Charlie Nelson, Yellow Don Haase, Purple TJ Albu

C Main was a bit rough on cars. At one point there were only 4 drivers but eventually back up to 7. In the end there were 6 racers in the last heat. A nice steady run by Charlie Nelson earned him first place (2nd overall) a distance back was Tim Wood 2nd and Roy Lievanos 3rd.

Half way


Final.


B Main

Red Bob Ricca, White Garret Sisk, Orange Rick Dodge, Blue Earl Wilson, Yellow Jeremy Pyles, purple Alex Freund, Black Jim Lange

B main laps were lower than expected. Mostly due to offs. In the end there were 6 racers. Rick Dodge first, Jim Lange second and Alex Freund third.

There was a discussion on possible motor changes prior to Qualifying.
It was decided by racers to continue using only Pro Slot Motors. This includes Pro Slots new can which I believe is replacing the current. Old can can be modified to same EXACT standards as the new can. (cutting center section only) Axle clearance allowed. Rulebook to be updated shortly.

Thanks to all racers supporting this growing class. Always great to spend time with racers traveling from Utah, Washington, Arizona, Nor Cal , San Diego and Ohio.
Thanks to the Piranha staffs help and parts inventory.

Lastly, A big thanks to race Director Bill Vanderziel keeping everyone in check.


Next race will be during the IRRA West Coast Weekend.

WOW-- really quick cars for Retro Pro!  Great job for all the podium spots -- and especially Charlie from the C main!! Super race report Roy--thank you! 

There must be an error in the C-main final photo as Charlie is showing 359 laps?

You are correct. It has been corrected. Unfortunately the A main final dropped to the bottom of page.
