I have just received 2 Can-Am chassis for Retro Palooza from Kamo-san.

Kamo Chassis for Retro Palooza 2012 #1.jpg

The wide version with a 1 3/8" wide motor-bracket weighs 57.1g including a JK front axle, while the narrow version with a 3/4" wide bracket is 52.5g. The complete cars are expected to weigh 101.9g and 97.3g respectively. Some weight adjustment would be necessary to clear the minimum weight of 100g required by IRRA.

The below is the chassis viewed from the back:

I will test the cars this weekend.

Hey, my wife convinced me I'd be better off staying out in Lawn Guy Land than commuting back each night. Anybody up to splitting a room? My only bad habit [I presume] is snoring, and a well-placed shoe usually takes care of that. Lemme know.

What happens on Wed will mean nothing come Friday Duffy. It all comes down to race day conditions.

Yah, I'm finding that out the hard way.
Well, I still wanna go put up some laps & get the track somewhat settled in my head if at all possible. See what this week gives up.

Any practice always helps in my book. It will certainly get you closer to where you want to be. Especially on the hilclimb.
