Well, this about sums it up for the weekend!  The reigning "Don" makes it a clean sweep of all four classes.

 

Congrats, Chris Radisich!

 

A full report and lots of photos coming.

Nice run, Chris!

 

Sure hope you can make the Sano. It would be great to do some flat track racing with you again!

Thanks HVR for a great time, the flat track is a beast. Every lane is very different from the next, you must adjust accordingly.

 

Sorry I missed Sunday, went to water park with family.

 

Chris is an animal. I can't understand how his car stays on going that fast.

 

Thanks, everyone, for all your help and I will see you cats soon.

What a fantastic event. The Retro East guys are really a great group to race with. I have to say that I was very surprised at how good they were on the flat track. Everyone all the way down the field was very competitive. Chris was just on another level but Edsel almost got him Sunday. VERY impressive to say the least.  Jim Williams ran a great event and of course Noose did his usual awesome job. I have to thank Dennis Samson for some great cars and set up help. He is am amazing guy and a lot of fun to hang out with. Also have to thank Edsel to pushing me in qualifying for the Can Am race. It got me in the A Main by a whisker :good:  I am planning to go back next year and give it another go. I will be much better prepared the second time around to be sure. :)

I had a blast at my first hotel race. Man is this convenient! Had plenty of time to get practice in on that goat sucker. Thanks to Jim for holding such an awesome event. It was great to see Bernie and Dennis again. I can't believe I can't wait for the next race on this track!

Flat tracks can hook you Joe :D Its not all about horsepower on a flat track. Set up and driving, as Chris & Edsel proved is the key. Have to really watch out for you on the flat @ the Sano based on what I saw this weekend!

Flat Track racing is a lot of fun. If people kept an open mind and just gave it a try they would find it is not so horrible after all :sun_bespectacled:

I agree Bernie. I've been dying to race these cars a flat track. I'm happy I made it to one day. :)

 

I think if I missed this one Jersey John might have put a hit out on me. I know he was giving me a lot of 'advice' from the side lines.
