This weekend we are heading to Abbeville, SC, to see Don Berni's "Slot of Fun". It is always a ton of fun, and a great turn-out!

Slots of Fun has a monthly Retro series, so the local competition should be strong. The Grandstand has also been cleaned and the braid has been cleaned.

We will be running Can Am, F1 and GT Coupes on the Grandstand.
 

If you plan on showing up on Friday for some practice Don will be open around 1:30 PM and can stay as long as needed.

Now that's the kind of night before hours that deserve a "hell yea!"...

Don't forget Bernibrooks Inn. Don's wife Karen runs this B&B right down the street from Slots of Fun. Pablo will tell you the breakfast is outstanding.

If our monthly Retro race on the Grandstand a couple weeks ago is any indication, Saturday's races should be very fast. Chris Barnes spent some time cleaning the braid prior to our spec race, and I personally believe it made a world of difference. He and Richard Sylvester were both incredibly quick. I think Saturday's races could be among the most fun we've experienced in a while.

 

In other words, I'm getting a bit excited about Saturday's races. Looking forward to seeing you guys there. Please be sure to offer a friendly wave as you pass me.

If everything goes right, I will be there, just mounting a GTC body now

[SlowBeas]

What is the order of racing? You list "Can-Am, F1 & GTC." Is that the order in which we race?

[Ralph Thorne]

We will race GTC, F1 then Can Am.
