The 4th Annual Checkpoint Cup race/chassis photo report has been posted on the Phanfare website.

Here's the link to the race report: http://socald3.phanfare.com/2012/

I'm still working on adding Sunday's races (F1, Retro32 Inline, Retro32 Anglewinder) to the report.
I should have that done sometime tomorrow.

Missed Bob's car in RP pics Keith....

Not only did I not get a photo of Bob's car, I also forgot to get photos of the Retro Pro podium cars as well!!!!
Was Bob's car not in tech when I was taking photos of the cars?

I guess I was too tired Friday night to notice.
Sorry about that guys. I don't know how to get photos of the podium cars since Jay's and Jonathan's cars are long gone.
I'll see if I can get photos of the cars somehow.

Keith- Thank you for the best race report ever.
Not sure how you manage to get the great photos you do AND race in the event!
Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Those Retro Pro Cars are cool.
3.24 is pretty fast.

Yea a tad a faster than your flexi car Flem.... but they still have to be scratchbuilt and you don't like that do you? We race them in ORS, but you don't show up unless we race flexi's...see what you're missing?

Nice Job Keith with all the pics and work you put into bringing the results to us.

[Mopar Rob]

We race them in ORS

Yea....with something like 1/4" front clearance, not the .015" like in SoCal





Keith:


Great photo report. Lot's of pic's.

Do those Pro Cars have a solid front axle or A Arms?
I bet they are fun with that 12 Motor in them.
