Hello D3 and other Retro Racers,

Today we had our seventh Can-Am and fifth F1 race since this February.

Mickeyzo, the Race Director, has just sent me the results.

Tebu won Can-Am again!
Hashimoto and Kamoshita did well finishing second & third.
Kamo, one of our great chassis builders TQed with his original build.

F1 TQ-ed with our track record of 4.1867 was Ryu (Nakamura), who is a great builder and aggressive racer/surfer.
We had small turn-outs for F1 today, so we had two mains in need of enough turn-marshaling
Top four qualifiers went to A-Main.
Originally one move-up from B to A-Main, but Kurata-san came to help marshaling during the B-Main, two move-ups to A. (Thanks a lot, Kurata-san!)
Tebu moved up with 304 laps with Akitani (287 laps).
Tebu and I both suffering on Black, I luckily won the race over Tebu with a narrow margin, while Akitani finished 3rd with a very close racing with Hashimoto.

We had a great fun and Akitani-san is now preparing the race photos for myself and Keith.

Stay tuned, Posted Image

Very cool!
Haruki, congrats on your fine F1 win, and I can tell you that the cars built by your group work very well on the BP track. To the point of winning! :)
