Let's get started with the coverage of this terrific event.

Jay and I left Atlanta about 4:00 pm on Thursday (Jay continued to illustrate why I call him "the late Jay Guard"; we had hoped to get out of town by 2:30 or so... LOL!), which put into Columbus about 2:00 am Friday morning. Since Tom Thumb was opening Friday at 10:00 am, we did get a decent amount of shut-eye.

We got to the track few minutes after 10:00, and there were already a fair number of racers already tweaking, testing, and tuning. It was immediately clear that the qualty of retro racers showing up for this event is, if anything, exceeding the high standard set at the Sano. We'll start with some pictures of the racers in attendance.



Garry Haworth, Noblesville, IN.



Jay Guard, Anniston, AL



Bill Fulmer, Canton, OH



Bill "BillyBob" Newland, Indianapolis, IN



Bob Oaks, Wauconda, IL



Front to back, Butch Dunaway, Oxford, OH; Dennis Samson, Irvine, CA; and Joe Neumeister, Denville, NJ.



Jack Beers, Hanover Park, IL



Ray Price, Rolling Meadows, IL in front, Basil Michael of Des Plaines, IL, in the rear.

Pictures of the racers here will continue later in this thread, as the first class of the R4 event, GT Coupe, is getting ready to begin.

By lucky happenstance, we have 32 entries for GT Coupe, which means a tidy four full mains.





Concours was judged by Mike McMasters before we started racing and the winners were Joe "Noose" Neumeister (1st) Jack Beers (2nd), and Dennis Samson (3rd). I missed snapping a pics of the concours winners, so you'll need to refer to the car pics in the cars thread.

The A main will run first and here's the line-up:

Ken Green - red
Brian McPherson - white
Bill Fulmer - green
Bob Oaks - orange
Garry Haworth - blue
Ray Price - yellow
Joe Neumeister - purple
Dave Fiedler - black

As at the Sano, we'll be attempting to upload the heat results to Slotblog before the next heat starts. Just keep this thread open in your browser and hit "refresh" every five or so minutes.

Now it's time for F1 and we have twenty-nine (29) entries for the class, including some of the nicest open wheel slot cars seen in many a year. Pics will be posted later, so make sure to check 'em out after I find the time to post them.

As an aside, I wonder when the last F1 race that attracted 29 entries was held? Not for many years, I'm betting.

The results of concours judging were Dennis Samson in first place, Joe Neumeister in second, and Jack Beers in third.

Awesome turn-out. Man, am I missing this one.

Thank you, Greg, for your undying devotion and supreme efforts!

Somebody please give Garry Haworth a HI! for me

Good show, Ron!

Good luck to all racers!

[Cheater]

Ron Hershman is handing out an unending supply of race prizes to all participants as the day is winding down. As might be imagined, we're all pretty tired.

I have a BUNCH of pictures to post but these will have to wait until there's time to get to it. Just like at the Sano, every car will be shown, top and bottom.

R4 race coverage will start up again in morning!

Bob,

Your greetings to Garry have been delivered.

Garry said, "Bob's a good friend. See my slot box? Bob backed over it in his truck a while back..."

Methinks Gary must have a low standard for friends!!! LOL!!!

[NJ Racer]

Good morning!

Has everyone recovered?

Actually I meant from all the racing activity.

[slotcarone]

Looks like our East Coast Retro guys are doing pretty good!!! Way to go, Jay!!!

[John Gorski]

"Does Flexi count for final points??"

John,

Unlike the Sano, there is no combined points scheme here at the R4. Basically, every race stands alone.

Ray,

Not sure what took more out of folks, the racing or the bench racing...

Yesterday, everyone was pumped and smiling. This morning, folks are still excited about being here, but everyone looks pretty tired!

[Phil Smith]

Sounds like everyone is having a great time! And great race reports, Greg!

I want to know what's up with Jay Guard. He was a force to be reckoned with when he lived and raced in Texas.

[Cheater]

Phil,

You know Jay's getting up in years, but his biggest problem is the guy he's traveling with...

[Cheater]

It's Sunday and that means Retro Can-Am, IRRA's premier class. A total of 34 entries have made their way through the excellent and efficient tech inspection conducted by Dennis Samson and Joe Neumeister, with some guy taking pictures with his Brownie camera.

Here's an overall shot of the most impressive group of scratchbuilt Can-Ams I've ever seen:



As trying to include all the Can-Ams in a single shot doesn't give much detail, here are some shots giving more detail:







Concours was won by, who else?, Joe "Noose" Neumeister, with second place going to Ray Price (L) and third to Ken Swanson.

Garry said, "Bob's a good friend. See my slot box? Bob backed over it in his truck a while back..."

Oh, the memories. Let's see... twelve years ago?!

[NJ Racer]

Ninth heat delay... Must be a power failure, or Kisling blew something up.

[Cheater]

Ray,

Nah, they made me race in the C Main and I couldn't get the previous race postings finished before I had to hook-up. I'm doing it now... Mr. Impatience!! LOL!

[Slow1ron@yahooo.com]

I think Ray's guess was correct... along those same lines I was thinking he tripped on the main power cord for the computer banged his head on the corner of the race directors stand, bled all over the floor on the way to the nearest running car willing to hike him to the ER for more stiches!!!

Damn, I wish I was there. Thanks, Greg, for the updates. Good luck with the C Main race.
