When we first started discussing this I stressed that the World Retro Championship should be viewed as the lead act for something much bigger to promote the hobby in general.
We need to create a convention-style enviroment, staging races for 1/32 cars, scale, model car, vintage etc. to pull a bigger demographic and participant base.
The vision also included an industry-wide trade show, slot racing swap meet, 1:1 vintage race car exhibit, and a reunion of racers past and present...
To be successful, and meet the stated goals, this undertaking must be an EVENT, not just a race...
Fortunately, the Chicago area has a facility that can handle such an undertaking, and a knowledgable management team to put it all together.

Don't think that I forgot the id ea of a big international race in Chicago completely, because it was too late to find still the necessary sponsoring for it. Go to the MOPCA website http://www.imca-slot...testNew2011.htm (article on the IRRA USA Retro Nats).

No race can have IRRA in it's name. Read the logo rules.

The only thing bad about Retro is admitting that you remember doing it originally.

His Royal Highness His Majesty Noose Bonaparte I The Great of Irraland,
May I remember to his Great Majesty that after a demand at the United States Patent and Trademart Office it appears that there has never be such a thing as a registered IRRA trademark. All they can tell there is that there has in the best case a demand for such, but that nobody ever paid for it if there already has been a demand. So may I, an innoble servant of His Great Majesty may ask His Great Majesty to confess that there never has been an IRRA trademark in the USA, but only in Irraland. But where on the map can your innoble servant find Irraland?
