The last race of the day was RetroPro on the super fast BPR King track. Twenty-five entrants for this evening race. The RP race is usually loaded with the unexpected and this year was no exception!!

A Main results. SPECTACULAR race with TQ Duran running into some problems and Alex falling behind early but trailing Matt by a half lap going into the last heat. They traded positions several times and when the flag dropped Matt beat Alex by LESS than an inch!!  Great run, Tracy Chin, in third!

Congrats to all who made this an exciting race.

 

Matt, that was a great drive to stay with, and edge out, the local hotshots, especially with a gear going out.

 

Special congrats to Duran, Sam, Alex, Tracy, Mike Iles, and Bryan for six of the top ten spots in qualifying with their new SC frames.

 

Then, to Alex, Tracy, Bryan, Sam, and Duran for positions two to sic and putting five SC frames into the A Main.

 

It seems the lightweights have come to stay!

Congrats to Matt; he and Alex ran a great race. It was fun to watch.

And congrats to Dennis Samson, your RetroPro chassis was working well in the "heavier than mormal" glue conditions we saw last weekend.
