I will race Stock Car, GTC-FK, Can-Am, and F1.
My first experience to race IRRA™ Stock Cars.
Kamo-san is now building his first stock car chassis, one of which is for me to race at the RP4.
 
Looking forward to seeing Retro East racers,

Haruki, you will really like the stock car class. I just wish the oval would be up so you could get a taste of real NASCAR type racing!!

You put this on the net we are all going to get pinched.

Some people are like Slinkies... they're really good for nothing... but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Since RetroPalooza is kind of a nickname-bending event, can I be Verbal Kint this year?

Have we got a confirmation yet from our official Moll, Nicole "Blondie" Walters? Hey, if she came, that'd make her RetroEast's first "Made Gal," right?

Umm - hold it - that don't sound right.

She has expressed interest. Don't know if she'll be able to be there for the whole schedule, but it is after school ends for the year, so I think odds are good we'll see her at some point.

Banzai is BANG-thy, while Bonsai sounds like Bon (good in French)-sigh, I guess. :crazy:
