Thrashing?!

I have to build cars and prepare the raceway...

Seriously, thank you for the race, Port Jeff is a tough act to follow, so we are working on RP4 ideas already.

Jim,

I always look forward to coming up to HVR. It is a nice ride up.

Look forward to Retropalooza 4 (as long as it doesn't snow).

I'll second that. Especially the part about it not snowing.

In his post about RP3 Haruki said he made it home to Tokyo in twelve hours. That's less time than me and Eddie made it home from HVR last October.

There's just something wrong with with that. BUT I bet he didn't have as many laughs doing it as we did...

OK, Tony is working on his usual portrayal of the Mobs for this. 

 

The hotel info is basically the same from RP 2 but I will get it up here. Still working on discounts.

Was hoping to make this one again but family vacation two weeks before pretty much uses up my time off.


A motor is only as fast as the chassis it's in.

I am planning to race NASCAR, GTC-FK, Can-Am, and F1.

 

Thanks in advance.

Parma Mercury Cyclone for Stock Car.

 

O/S McLaren 7C or 9C, or Parma Matra for F1.

 

Ti22 from Parma or JK, or Ti22R from O/S for Can-Am. 

 

Parma Lola GT, O/S Chevron B16R , or JK Sunoco Lola for GTC. 

 

Those are the bodies you will find in the winner's circle at Retro East™ races.
