Haruki, 

       

you must do what you feel is right. Your health comes FIRST! We would all like to have you here, but, there are other races to attend later. You are doing the RIGHT thing! You take care my friend. We'll be thinking of you.

[Gary Donahoe]

Dear Haruki-san,

We are very sorry to hear that you and Kamo-san will not be able to attend the Checkpoint Cup race. I know how much you want to participate in this race but your decision is a good one. For the sake of your family there is just too much risk being so far away from home until your body has had a full chance to recover.

Your friendship and competition will be sincerely missed. We look forward to the next time that we race together.

Keep racing!
Gary

Haruki-San, Win your race of Life, then come see us sometime. It would be an honor & privilege to meet with you again. Lee R Hines

     Haruki, get well soon, there will be plenty of Checkpoint Cups to race at in your future.  Your inspiration is evident, as many of the chassis that we ran today were based on the Kamo chassis that you raced and showed us.  Hope all goes well, and that you get back to feeling 100 % soon.

[Mr Dynamic]

Get Well Soon ! Haruki Kan!

Best Wishes,

At the Summer Western Classic TSR D3 handout motors (No Falcons) were sold on Friday when the track opened and were usable in both Can Am and F1. Will this same format be followed at the Checkpoint Cup?

[Tim Neja]

The "hand out" motors are for only Can Am and F-1?  None for   Coupe or needed for 1/32 correct ?  

[TSR]

Gary,

Yes, correct, no Falcon motors, just TSR for the Parma Checkpoint Cup in Can-Am and F1, all handout.
The reason is because the Falcon 7 as you know it no longer exists as its supply is exhausted and the remaining inventory is already spoken for. It will by March 1st, be replaced by an upgraded model that will not be SCRRA or IRRA legal. While it can be used in local retro series at the need of each organization, the new Falcon motor is mostly designed for use in angle-winder Flexi or other types of chassis.

The SCRRA will only use the TSR motor, of which technology is frozen.

 

Tim,

Yes. However they will be scrutinized before and after the races. Please refer to the new SCRRA "claim" rule, where a motor may be protested and torn down as needed.

[Gary Donahoe]

Thanks PDL, sounds good.

The intent of my question was to get confirmation that handout motors will be available Friday when the track opens and that these motors are usable in both CanAm and F1, as was done at the Summer Western Classic race.  Because this procedure was new for that race and I wanted to make sure it had not changed.

[TSR]

Yes, they will be, so that everyone has a chance to break them in and install them properly. Cars (both Can Am and F1) must be submitted to tech body off, and racers must put the body back on the car at the tech table.

 

The motors will be sold at the counter by the raceway owners, who will dip in the box and supply the motors randomly.

PDL is there wifi at BPR? thanks and im looking forward to the race,,,,

[TSR]

John,

At this time I am not sure. let me find out and I will let you know. I know that there is a cable that is connected, but WiFi not so sure.

I am am also looking forward to meet you and shoot the breeze with fun stuff.

P

[TSR]

I just checked. There is no WiFi at BPR at this time because there is no wireless router. There was WiFi but it was shut down because someone was downloading some not-so-legal stuff and it came back to the ownership.

[JohnnySlotcar]

Scotch makes a great substitute for WiFi!!!!

[Tex]

Yeah, makes you talk louder and they can hear you farther away!
