Saturday's monthly D3 races for Jail Door, RetroPro, and Retro32 had some surprises.

A crash and burn race for JDs, a good turnout for RetroPro and a first ever Retro32 race on the King track made for an interesting day of D3 racing.

Thanks to Jim and Debby Watterson for their support of D3 racing at BPR.

Thanks to our race directors: Barney Poynor and Mike Boemker.

Here's the complete race/chassis photo report link:

Great race report as usual and thanks, Keith, for doing it. ;)

I want to congratulate all the guys, and Bob, I sure like the mustache, looks good. :)

Great job by the podium hogs as usual. :laugh2:

United we stand and divided we fall, the Legends are complete.
I'm racing the best here at BP but Father time is much better then all of us united.
Not a snob in this hobby, after all it will be gone, if we keep on going like we do, and I have nothing to prove so I keep on posting because I have nothing to gain.
It's our duty to remember the past so we can have a future.

Keith,

When you guys ran Retro32 was it a mix of inline and anglewinders? :unsure: Can't tell by looking at the race report, only that the podium guys ran anglewinders.

All three races were VERY close. Paul and myself in Jail Door. Bob and Keith in RetroPro, and Doug and Paul in 1/32.

Thanks, Keith!!
