Grant needs to confirm a few race dates with the race track owners. I am sure that he is close to publishing a schedule very soon. The first race has already been announced. The Retro Gator Championships is on Jan 30-31 at Melbourne.

Plus we are going to do two special events.

 

The annual Holly Hill Christmas enduro.

 

And possibly a Memorial Day race on the Holly Hell oval, 500 laps for F1 and 600 laps for NASCAR.

Grant...

 

Thanks for posting the schedule. The variety of the classes looks like it will make for a lot of fun races this year along with the endurance races Tony mentioned.

I see you have down just Flexi for some of the races. Will these Flexi classes be run with Evil motors or are we going to start running the Retro Hawks also in this class?

Since the Evil 9s are no longer available I would assume Retro Hawks.

 

Nothing scheduled for The Viper Pit right now.

Kim. Just too many issues that have never been addressed since we have been going there. No one down here wants to go up there and have to do all the work.

No , could see a problem coming on black thou, lots of wheel hop somewhere around the lap counter..
I haven't raced there in about 1 1/2 years,,So I don't know ...
but a good sanding and maybe a Touch up on that routing may correct it.
Probably just affects front wheels that touch.. ( Retro cars )
Only problem I could see, but if it worsened it's too bad...

Power on King is bad. Motors run like crap. Last time I was there it was horrible. 

 

No Printer to print out the results, Plus you get the impression they don't care if we are there or not.

 

If I am going to drive over 4 hours, spend 2 nights in a hotel I want to race on a good king track. 

 

It is a shame because the potential is there.

i didn't see or hear any "beefing", just people having fun.  We don't need to run on the King track, in fact I like the other track (Engleman) better anyway.

You don't have to go just becuse you and some others don't like it.  There are people that like to go to the race there and I don't think that all racers think the same about it.  If you don't like the raceway that has that race don't go.  If the shoe fits wear it.

I don't plan on scheduling a GRRR race there. We have held races there with no help from the raceway at all if someone from up there wants to hold their own retro race go for it.

I did not show up last time and won't next no fun racing there. I rather race at shops that support IRRA retro racing and give a **** if we come and give them a better payday than they usually have.

Okay, no need to get mad . I had a good time there and some of the other people did too. I'm in the sport for some fun.  If you can't have some fun doing it, it's not worth doing. Why does the raceway have to support retro racing to host a race as long as they want the race there?  With the way sport is going we need more races in more places to reach more people so the sport can stay. We need to put our own needs aside for the better of the sport.

I need to support the raceways in Florida not one 4.5 hours away.  I'm sure if they want retro racing they can start something in their area. They need their own program and not depend on ours.  See if someone steps up to do all the work Marty, and then Grant, has to do when we go there.
