RetroPalooza 7

 

June 2-5, Ronkonkoma, NY

 

The IRRA^® Permier Event annual meeting of the families will be taking place on Lawnguyland at the world famous PJ Raceway from Thursday June 2 through Sunday, June 5, 2016.

 

The reigning don, Big Don Pickles Eric Gehrken, will look to see if he can maintain control of this voracious crowd of hooligans. We are not sure if the underboss, Gary "Hip Hop" Clinton Jr., will be present since he is now part of the "relocation crew" and is working to gain control in FL.

 

We expect that the consigliere, and former Don, Matt "Handsome" Bruce will be there to keep things under control if necessary.

 

Word has it many more "families" are expected this year, adding an International air to this event.

 

More details will follow of course regarding sponsorship opportunities and other minutia that youse will need to know.

 

Here is the schedule. All races will be run on the King.

 

Thursday, June 2

Can-Am Plus

RetroPro

 

Friday, June 3

GTC-FK then GTC-Pro - both hand-out Hawk Retro motors

Stock Car

At least four of us, Kamo, Tebu, Mickeyzo, and myself, will be there from Retro Tokyo.
 

 

 
Another podium racer, Ryu, has a good chance to join us. (On the left in the picture bellow.)
 


This is going to be my fouth challenge at RetroPalooza but the first time for the other racers, for whom this race will be their first IRRA^®/Retro East race.

How excited!!

Good Racing,

Haruki

Any reasonable price motels around there?

[Half Fast]

Depends on your definition of reasonable.
 
I would check with Doug at PJ since he hosts a lot of races with traveling racers.
 
Cheers,

Bill will talks to you in Columbus. 

[usadar]

Unfortunately, Ryu cannot join us this time. A Team Tokyo racer may join us from California.

Kamo has developped new Can-Am for RP. GTC and Stock Car chassis will be based on this Can-Am.

As for F1, we will be testing a new DIO IRRA^® version soon.





Stay tuned,

Haruki

Beautiful workmanship!

[usadar]

Which hotels are recommended around the raceway?

Haruki

[John Streisguth]

Some of us have stayed at the Ramada Plaza Holtsville Long Island in the past, it's a decent hotel with a bar attached so you can have a few drinks and not have to drive.     

 

The only downside of that is the parking lot gets pretty full in the early evening.  

 

You can also check Trip Advisor for reviews of hotels in the area to see which ones are decent.

So if it rains will your golf club be closed? LOL.

[elinsley]

Maybe if it rains all weekend then I could go every day.

Well, if you could get me out of work for those days that would be awesome.

[Noose]

Bill, write him an Epstein kinda Doctor's note. LOL.

I used Expedia to book a room this weekend at Port Jeff. Was $65 a night and less than 10 miles from the track... very reasonable and nice accommodations.

Always a pleasure racing at PJ!!! Doug is a great hostess... LOL.

[Jimmy Williams]

Does anyone know what voltage the races will be raced at?

[Noose]

13.8v.

[blkdout76]

Well... unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it like I originally planned, but I will be in attendance for this year's 6-hr enduro.

Good luck to all the racers traveling from near and far.

We will report that HipHop was abducted by gators preventing him from making his journey to the homeland.

*PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ********
For those traveling to Port Jeff for Retropaloosa, especially our international guests.

Be aware that the roads in the general area have cameras at stop lights, etc. At 6 AM, when you are sitting at a light for five minutes, don't think "No one is around, and blow the light. Two weeks later you will receive a beautiful picture of your vehicle/license plate along with an $118 fine. Please do not ask how I obtained this information.

Noose, if Mr. Kottair did not fall for the Epstein Doctor's note do you think it would work with anyone else?
