Looking back to last year's Checkpoint race we had 27 F1 entries. With a similar entry this year and if we are successful in closing tech as planned at 10:00 and staying on schedule, the A main should end at about 3:15. That would make tech close for the retro32 inline race to be about 4:45. With the recent popularity of 1/32 I think there could be a fairly large entry. If my assumptions are accurate I wonder how many racers would stay for the Retro32 anglewinder race or even if the raceway would remain open that late on a Sunday night.
Time permitting I plan to run F1, Retro32 inline, and Retro32 anglewinder. Certainly we won't know for sure until we see how many actually show on Sunday but I am curious to get a rough idea.
Please respond with which races you plan to run on Sunday.
Thank you!

Will not be available for F1 due to other commitments Sunday morning. Outside chance that I could run Retro32 anglewinder.
So much DRAMA for such small cars....

I will be racing 32 anglewinder. Additionally, since I am available and not racing F1s, I will begin 32 tech while the F1s are racing so we can get the 32 program running as soon as the F1 race concludes if possible.

Gary it depends how late the anglewinder's will get started? I sure would like to run the anglewinders first then the inline last.

Thanks everyone for your posts. It looks like a great weekend of racing. It is really cool that so many are planning to run the Retro32 races.
With so many main events it will be important that we all do our part to be prepared, think ahead, and to be considerate of others by not causing delays.
