What's up?

 

Two major events in March and very little here or any other blogs.

 

Has everything really moved to FB? If it has, from what I've seen, I wouldn't call those race reports. 

 

Noose and Retro East really get it. Now those are race reports! :good:  :good:  :good:

Kev, the R4 report was done live here and all the pics by Bill were posted in a link in the them.

I joined FB to look at pictures (usually my grandsons' in Arizona), I don't post much or socialize there, but I do learn a lot from looking at the photos. :sun_bespectacled:

Sorry to offend, yes, we all think our races are major events but...

 

I was referring more to the recent "Premier" multi-day races, the "R4/7" and the "All Star Invitational" race that took place in March, not monthly series races.

Bill Fulmer has some great pictures of the R4/7 on his Flicker site. I don't know how to direct you there. Maybe someone more computer smart than me could help you.

Kevin,

 

All of the R4 race reports have been placed in...

 

The R4 Forum

 

For a number of years now.

 

At the top of that forum is an archive of all six of the previous R4 race reports as well.

 

The other IRRA™ Permier race reports (for The Sano, RetroPalooza, Fall Brawl, etc.) are located in similar subforums at the top of the IRRA™ Retro Racing forum.

 

Are you just missing where these are located, or are you wanting something else?

 

As for the All Star Invitational race report, the only info I saw on that race was posted to Facebook. Good luck tracking that info down now.

I guess it's just me then.

 

I blame Joe and the reports he does for the Retro East races. :laugh2:

Joe and his minions certainly have set a gold standard for race reporting. Thank you!


That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

As we often say, Noose is the hardest-working guy in Retro! His killer race reports are just one part of the overall picture.

How rude to use the word "minions".

Two thumbs down.

"Minion" is bad? Too PC for me. I bet no insult was intended nor insult perceived by "his minions". At least none indicated they were slighted by the remark.

You're probably right.

Now that it's made it's way to a popular animated film, it's probably considered less of a pejorative term.

Maybe it's just me. I never saw the movie. My calling someone a minion would be no more an insult than if I'd call someone a sh*thead... with brotherly love, of course. :)
