Just saying, if there are other races being scheduled for the summer months, it would be best to announce them sooner rather than later as the summer gets very busy with other activities .

 

A road trip to Thazer Raceway sounds good to me!

[JohnnySlotcar]

Good idea, will get on it.

Yes, Can-Am is a tight one.
 
The 3 of us probably caught a break by KVP missing 2 races.

Doing my best Brando;

Less than a week till the final IRRL Race of the season @ Mid America. Who will take the Can Am Title?

Can Sano Dave hold on to beat Rick Stagen & Mike Swiss???

Or maybe, Dave Geehring will leap past ALL of them and take the title! DO NOT count him out.

Rumor has it some "out of town" hitters will be in the house which may jumble things even more.

Should be a "ding dang dilly of a dinger"! ( not sure if the famous Mike Swiss quote is correct but you get the idea  )

[Ramcatlarry]

Consider it a warm-up for the 'ring' race....

 

I built a new light weight can/am.....

[MSwiss]

Thank you Mike!!!! 

[Mike Wurn]

That was a lot of fun, racing with a great group of people.

[Steve Deiters]

Looks like a big as well as a strong field for a major retro event......again.  23 racers for a monthly IRRL event.  It just gets bigger and better doesn't it? 

 

Congrats to Terry Watson/Can AM and Sano Dave/F-1 for their wins and such strong showings as well as to all the other heat winners and competitors in all the classes.

 

 

 

Note to Sano Dave:  Hope you kept you know who's bearings oiled and braid brushed! LOL

[kvanpelt]

Congrates to the RPM guys (Terry & Ron) awesome performance from them both in their wins. Always great to run with the big dogs, really helps to up the game for the rest of us. 
 
Looking forward to next season, really learned alot this year in my 1st full season. For sure I learned which front wheel retainers I won't be using. LOL

I was skeptical a push on clip would work as a reliable retainer, especially on a Gerding King.

Just ripped that inside wheel right off in the deadman 3rd heat in.
