I have a question and please do not take this wrong but what makes this the Retro Flat Track Nationals? Couldn't you also call it the Internationals?

We only have a long track in our current store. We built our own flat track two years ago. We use a local hotel for the race. We have the only currently running hotel race, with very good rates for our area.

I already have a room booked but I'm hoping the "special" rate will be cheaper.

Inter-dimensional!

PS: Nationals is a common name for big slot car races, i.e. USRA Nationals.

Either way sounds like a fun event and I like the idea it's in a hotel. Maybe one year you can add a Retro swap meet.

Please note the schedule change. Stock Car and Can-Am Plus were swapped to allow more entries in Stock Car.

Very sorry I can not make it back this year but it is not possible for a number of reasons.

I highly recomend attending. Jimmy puts on a great event, track is fun to race on, lots of parts available, great competition, and the bar is steps away :laugh2: .
