Up next is race #2 of our 2025 season. We will be running at Fast Eddies Slotcars and Raceway in Pinellas Park, FL on Sunday Feb. 23rd where we will run Stockcars (Tri-Oval), Formula One (Hillclimb), and Can-Am (Hillclimb) in that order. 

 

This will be an awesome opportunity to get in some extra practice for the upcoming Retro Rumble, which as you should know has been moved to March 28-30 this year.

Joe:

Thanks for catching that, as Marcus said GRRR Race #2 will be held on Sunday Feb. 23rd.

 

Marcus:

Thanks for the quick response to Joe's question and setting the record right..

 

FYI...I have updated post #1 to reflect the correct info, hey, at least I got the topic heading correct, which is only what most people read anyway! :shok:

 

BTW...The Retro Rumble has been moved from it's previous date in late September to the new late March date due to the possibility of it being affected by hurricanes in September.
