Nothing at all wrong with the Engleman. I never had problems on the king but only raced on it once. Always the biggest retro race in the South. Sad to see it go.

[Grant G.]

I don't understand all the doom and gloom going on. There is no reason to see it go. Track owners can organize and promote any race they feel is a good fit for their raceway.

[Brinkley47]

Yes but not many can or would do all the work you did there Grant. I thank you for everything you did for this event. It was always good times for us.

I think that we need a solid statement on what motor is legal for flexi racing this year. Are we going with the JK Retro Hawk motor? I am good with it. Just need clarification.  We all have Retro Hawk motors.

[DOCinCanton]

Dennis and Terry are in favor of running the Hawk 7 instead. We run the JK Retro Hawk in so many car classes that it would be nice to run something different.  The Hawk 7 is a more reliable motor now that the comm is wrapped.

Ok guys. Here is what we have coming up in 2015. 

 

 

5. Melbourne - 5/30/15

Stock Car (Hillclimb), Can-Am, GT Coupe

 

 

 

Grant, For real on Stock Car on the Hillclimb?

[tonyp]

Yup

[CoastalAngler1]

Last night at Holly Hill, folks were complaining about the 57' oval in Melbourne.  Does the hillclimb mean less carnage?

[DOCinCanton]

We will find out.  In fact, I am looking forward to this race.

[John Streisguth]

The key on that track will be to not overdrive the kink onto the straight.  Otherwise, you better get a bike helmet for the marshall in the 180   LOL

[Cap Henry]

LOL I know a guy with some extra race lids LOL

[DOCinCanton]

Racing 4 1/2" stock cars on the Hillclimb at Melbourne and road course at Holly Hill are not the only changes for GRRR 2015. We have three Can-Am Plus races (P1(twice) and Holly Hill) and two GT Coupe races (Melbourne).

[Gator Bob]

Any GRRR guys interested in joining the fun at the "Rods and Rails" drag proxy on 5/16 ?

 

Bill is looking for drivers, they are super easy.. hardly ever come off....

Doc,

 

Do you know what the running order will be for the race on 5/30?  I'll only be racing one class as far as I know, depending on whether GT coupe is limited to Retro Hawks or not.  If only Retro Hawks, then I may run that class.

[tonyp]

Canam, gtc, nascar

[Jay Guard]

Are there any changes to the schedule due to the Jacksonville track closing?

[DOCinCanton]

Maybe, Grant and Tony were talking about it when we were at P1.

[tonyp]

grant is working on it.

[Gator Bob]

Ok guys. Here is what we have coming up in 2015.

9. Melbourne - 9/26/15

Can-Am, GT Coupe, Stock Car (oval)

 

 

 

To clarify ... Stock Car will be on the new oval and run last. ... (?)

 

Good days, bad days ... hope to be feeling racy that day.

[tonyp]

Yes

[Gator Bob]

Thanks Tony ...

[Rapid Rick]

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

 

Nothing scheduled for The Viper Pit right now.

Tony...I see P1 as the next Slot Track for the Ratro Series. Is that the track near you that I went to a couple years ago? It is in Winter Garden, Florida...not far from Oviedo where i was living for two months. I am working on getting my cars ready. Do you know the braid depth?

 

Thanks,

 

Rapid Rick

[tonyp]

You went to ASR with the king track in long wood which was run out of business. P1 has the hill climb from asr. I set my guides at .25

[Tampabay racer]

I saw Marcus posted the depth is .35. However what Tony sets it at is phenomenal.
