Dang it, that 4:00 P.M. time for RetroPro on Friday may put a damper on my Friday racing.

       I'm sure the actual tech time will be later and closer to 6PM to accommodate racers getting off work on Friday. We will change the starting tech time for Retro Pro to "about 6:00 PM" as it has been in the past few races.  :)

Yes Haruki, the F1 rules were changed some time ago to .790"Ø with .040" chassis clearance. 

 

 

They made this change to facilitate using up Used Can-Am tire and save a little money in the long run.

By the way Bryan, I will be available as RetroPro Tech inspector again this year if you need me.

Thanks a lot for your kind offer.

Kamo-san & I might be very busy setting up cars for our team.

If Tebu is ready, he would be good in racing 1/32.

I am a terrible racer on flat tracks. LOL

John, you are very correct about the above post. You guys who have won the Checkpoint deserve a trophy to have your names on.Its a damn shame someone had to take their ball and go home.

Just for reference, stock Womps reach mid to low 4sec and modified Womps have hit the high 3sec mark on the Kingleman.

Gotta love the hairpin on Black!

Hold up a sec.....He actually took the Cup???

 

Okay, my cousin owns a trophy making business.  Let me talk to him and see what kind of deal I can get.  We could possibly get another perpetual cup for next year.
