Scotch makes you get in the "A" even if you are not at the raceway that day!

THanks PDL see you all soon.........

[Tim Neja]

Down at the track today to check out my new rides---didn't get any time on the King track as the wing car guys were there testing.  But the flat track had Mill Conroy and Phil Nyland putting down a lot of laps and Alex watching!! I tried out my Coupe and 1/32 cars--and their pretty good.  I ran my new King cars--but they ran fine--now see how they handle the King!! CYA there next week--I'll probably take Thursday off too so I can get some more testing done on my Friday cars--and the Retro pro on the KIng.  Looking forward to 3 days of playing with all you "big boys"!! Come on down--the weather's fine.  I may have to take my "Hemi" hot rod out on Friday so you guys can check it out.  I know Howie would be interested!!

[Jason Holmes]

[Tim Neja]

Just get there by 8:00am Jason--I"m sure the racing will be all day on all the days!!   Friday is Coupe racing followed by 1/32 and then Retro Pro.  

[Jason Holmes]

that works for some but I won't have the time to waste so I would like to know the start times when I walk thought the door My cars will be ready for tech so please help

thanks jason

[Tim Neja]

What class's are you intending to race?  Only the FIRST race will have a known start time! After that--it will depend on the # of entrants--qualifying--and how long the lower mains take to run.  So the only way to know the start times--is to be there.  You're an experienced racer--you know this already.  If you want hourly updates--you'll need to call someone at the track.

[Jason Holmes]

That's Right Tim read my 1st post I asked when the 1st race tech would be and the times for SAT & SUN from there I can work out the rest myself Coupes 1st race Fri. I will race then leave and come back for retro pro then sat and sun tech time's not all the hard

jason

      Noose has been kind enough to donate 3 certificates for custom painted bodies for participants this weekend as race prizes.  Winners will be chosen at random from the Coupe, Can Am and F1 classes.

   From everyone at the Parma Checkpoint............... Thanks Joe!!!!

[Bryan Warmack]

      The Friday races at the Parma Checkpoint saw Duran Trujillo over Bryan Warmack and Tracy Chin in Anglewinder Coupes and Duran again over Dennis Samson and Bryan Warmack in Retro 1/32nds. A great turnout in all classes and 28 entries in Retro Pro which is still underway.............

It was a great day of racing at the BP Checkpoint Cup today,,,and the Retro Pro cars on the King put on a real show,,,The racers from the north & east where very fast,but the local star Duran Trujillo won the big race of the day,,or was it night?.......Congratulations to all the racers...DC

[Matt Bruce]

Congratulations to Jay and Mike for their podium finishes in Retro Pro and to all the racers esp Duran on a perfect Friday. Thanks for posting.

[John Streisguth]

Congrats to all.  It would be great if Duran could make his way east some day.

[The Bugman]

Congrats to all.  It would be great if Duran could make his way east some day.

[Frank The Tank]

Any live coverage of this event? Want to see how some left coasters are fairing today.

[Chris Radisich]

Wow, the Retro pro race looked like a SoCal USRA of old 

[Rick]

Thanks for the report, looks like 2nd thru 6th was a real battle. Jonathan looks like he was wicked fast too but something must have happened during the race, to him...........

[Old pink can guy]

If you saw PDL'S Post some dummy was using the why-Fi for not soo good of things so keep an eye on here too stay up too speed.

Guess I'm spoiled by SpeedZone's live video coverage of all major events, without using WiFi by the way.

 

On another note who would pay a buck to see major races, like the Nats? Is a buck too much or not enough?

[ejgehrken]

I would be willing to pay $1-2 to watch major races (i.e. Nats and Premier Retro Races) as long as there is no advertising and there are multiple camera views.

Yeah, I had a 7 lap lead after 2 heats and stripped a gear and spun a pinon. The car was an absolute missile and planted in the race, but had some bad luck. Just happy Howie didn't take the dollar a lap bet for this race, haha.
