After besting, arguably, the 2 most feared men in Retro racing, rumor has it, Greg spent a good portion of Superbowl Sunday, thumping his chest, like Tarzan. Lol

Congrats to Jerry Herbert Jr., on his TQ, and 3rd place finish, this past Saturday, at the Retro East race at HVR, using the C/R Versa-bracket.
Also on qualifying 2nd, and finishing 2nd, in F1.
On a different note, by the amount of brackets I've sent Bud Bartos, the last 10 days, or so, it looks like another great turnout at R4, this year.

Big congrats to Cap Henry on his sweep at ORS KOR #5 (R4/11 Warm-up), at Tom Thumb Hobbies.
Cap won GTC, Can Am, and F1, using C/R brackets in his CHR (self) made chassis.
Medium congrats to Jason Dennis and Mike "Raisin" Garrett, on rounding out the podium in Can Am, using C/R brackets in their Bartos built frames.

I only got so much "Congrats" in me.
I have to ration it out. LOL
It was fun watching Raisin and Dennis battle (from my B main turn marshal spot)
It's also a lot of fun listening to Jason give me his "Whoa is me...I've only been doing this for 4 months", B.S.
I had to pull out my "hocus - pocus, mind control sh*t" out on him, and get him to admit he used to be a Paul Ciccarello protege.

Same chassis. Just removed the weight, swapped the motor, rear tires and body, and replaced the bent rear axle from a big crash with 1 minute to go in coupes.

The medium congrats is a variation of the "semi-sincere, pat on the back", I offer 6 year old's, when they ask what are they going to win.

Dale put on a dominating performance, TQing, by over a .1, and winning by a whopping 8 laps.
Dale also had a C/R pinned, Red Fox guide, on his car.

Thanks to all who used the C/R Versa-bracket, and other C/R chassis parts at R4/11.
The C/R bracket took 10 of 12 podium spots, along with 3 of the 4 TQ's.
It swept both Friday coupe classes, going 1,2,3, in both, along with both of the TQ spots.
Thanks to chassis builders, (alphabetically) Bud Bartos, Andrew Ford, Cap Henry, and Greg Van Peenen, for using them in their awesome builds.

Things have been pretty crazy here the last few weeks, but I was meaning to congratulate Jerry Herbert, Jr., and John Gorski, on their 1-2 finish, at the Retro East series finale, a few weeks back, at Speedzone, using the C/R Versa-bracket.
They also qualified 1-2, with Jerry TQ'ing.
