Here's a thought, Leave her at HOME......

If you leave her at home you have to kiss her good-bye. I'd much rather take her with me.

Will any of these races be on Ustream?

If this has been answered, please forgive as I don't see it. What is and is not allowed in the retro-pro chassis and motor specs..As it now takes me weeks if not months to do what took days to do in past years I need to get started NOW..

IMO,

Flexi should be seperated by driver skill although ran together, scored seperately. Run the Flexi class threw for the first main (2 & 2), this includes everybody, then run two seperate A mains (3 & 2). One for the "A"'s & one for the "B"'s. I'm a strong beleiver in "You only get as fast as the guys you race with". This gives the "beginners" a chance to learn by racing with "A"'s then when the "A"'s main is ran, there's no problem with beginners causing havek.

This is an entry level "Retro" class & most of the time its the largest. Maybe this should be concidered. Nothing worse then going to an event as a beginner & knowing you have no chance of making the a main. Who wants to travel a distance for that as a beginner?

8 A"s with 8 A's & 8 B"s with 8 B's for Mains in Flexi is MO & run it last,

I'm with you Dave,it takes a lot longer for me to build than the old days, can we use D-3 rules with .050 front and rear,and the.790 tires in the rear and safley start building?

Take the D3 rules from HERE and change ONLY the following TWO things: 1) Minimum clearance front to back of .050 - 2) Minimum rear tire diameter is .790.

Simple as that

Also, Thanks much!..Just need to know if we can use the S-7 kits to build a LEGAL chassis?.

Some of the individual pieces in the S-7 kits can be used to build a legal Retro-Pro chassis BUT if the kit is built as intended by S-7 then that would NOT be a legal chassis. An example of why, taken directly from the D3 rules:

Absolutely no form of pillow block construction (as in individual sheet-metal axle holders soldered into slots cut in any form of sheet-metal support) is allowed.

There are other examples such as no axle tube and a multiple piece rear motor mount.

Also no center tube as a hinge mechanism....RICK!
