If you want to race Retro on the flat track you have to race Great Lake ISRA how screwed up is that!

Not screwed up at all. It is what it is! Be happy the flat track option is available with ISRA GL. It's all good!

Flat track racing is flat track racing, whether IRRL or ISRA, who cares!
I pushed real hard to get that included in our ISRA flat track program. It's only provisional for the beginning of the season.
Show up and give it some support if that's what you want to race.

"Back to back is doable, but would prefer a week in between. Won't attend either a IRRA or ISRA scheduled race in the same month as a big event, such as the Sano, ISRA Masters or the ROC. Usually pretty burnt out after 3-5 days of fun!"
Have fun, see you all next month!

Hey John, how do you break your cars in at home? Bounce them on the floor? 
Good luck Saturday, you'll love the new GVP chassis, it's a "Game Changer".

You may crash, but Retro f-1 is one of our favorite classes. Many clean heats. Unless you are next to Ramcat! Then you get to practice your reflexes to the max. [Did anyone say "short braking?] ROFL

Use your basic JK car and have it setup the same as at Swiss's. GT-1- stamped steel chassis,any Hawk type motor,american arms if Hawk wind o.k..Any ISRA type b-production bodies, no high downforce types allowed. Thursdays sound good to me.
