Start going to the track and get her dialed in.
There`s no substitute for track time.
Try and do some weekly racing over the Spring and Summer.

Any thought to adding can-am plus for this year?

[Tom Thumb Hobbies]

It hasn't even been discussed at this point. It is a possibility however. The ORS BoD will be discussing this and several other items in the coming weeks. ORS racer feedback will be greatly appreciated.

[Cap Henry]

I'd be interested

Where can I find the AW rules? Are they any different then retro pro except the motor difference?

[Tom Thumb Hobbies]

I just went looking for the link for you. They were hosted on my webpage. GONE. Another undiscovered causality of having to switch webhosts from the completely incompetent GoDaddy. I will track them down at my soonest opportunity and repost with a link forwarded to you.

Thanks Mike!

What tracks will we be running at HMS (9/26)?  Tires and gearing would be nice to know also.

[Cap Henry]

King, gearing for retro hawk-9/28, tires-some sort of wonder, usually JK or JDR.

Can't help with retro plus-angle winder, I don't have any experience with them

[Stuch]

I am looking for the rules for the RetroPro class that is being run in the ORS series this year.  Does anyone know where to find them?

 

Thanks in advance

Can someone post about the #4 ORS Retro race coming next Saturday, November 7, to Tri-State Raceway in Middletown, OH. I am unable to "pin" it.

[1fastdude]

Where can you find point totals for this series?

Is OES running Retroflexi this coming season? 2016-17

[Tom Thumb Hobbies]

No we are not. But we are going to promote the class at each member raceway and provide a really cool prize to the winner at each raceway. More details will follow.

Will the .812 rear tire/ .050 rear clearance rule be in effect for F1 at the 10/22/16 ORS race?

[Tom Thumb Hobbies]

Yes. All classes run with .050 clearance and min. .812 rear tire diameter.

[Butters37]

.812 on anglewinder as well? Just making sure.

[Ralph Middaugh]

This would have been nice to know ahead of time. ORS shoud have had told the racers of this tracks rules.

[Tom Thumb Hobbies]

Sorry. But this has been in effect for over 10 years. I guess I assumed everyone knew. Shouldn't be a problem though. Just put .812 tires on your .790 car you run at MMW and you have the required.050 clearance.

[The Number of]

No min dia on anglewinder. .810 max width, .050 rear clearance,  The .812 dia only for Can-Am, F1, and Coupe. Keep your shirt on, Ralph.

[Tim Neja]

Out here at BPR we run RetroPro quite often. Our clearance's are now .040" in the rear, .015" in the front with .790" tires. This helps the cars handle the horsepower better.  We also changed the body rules to allow "CLEAR" front wheel wells so you can see the front wheels without cutting wheel wells out. NO sticker fronts. This helps keep the integrity of the bodies in shunts and also helps the handling. These cars are HARD to drive at times - and need all the handling help they can get!  
FWIW.

Tim,

 

This race is on an original American King. They can't go that low or the track would be destroyed in the bank. 

[Tom Thumb Hobbies]

Our Retro Anglewinder class is loosely based on your RetroPro rules. I borrowed your rules, after asking Bryan Warmack if he would care, and adapted them to what we were looking for. Even though we use a slower motor than you they are still a handful. But FUN!!
