Starting at this event the Can-Am and F1 classes will be split into Regular and Senior divisions. If you are 60 years old or older or turn 60 during the event you can opt to run the Senior division. You don't have to run in the Senior division. You can still choose to run in the Regular division. But you can't run both. Senior division will run the same format as the GTC, "one and done."
More details later.

Mike, could you make that "66" or older? I'm getting tired of racing against these kids with their 60-year old reflexes

I don't always go the extra mile, but when I do it's because I missed my exit.
All my life I've strived to keep from becoming a millionaire, so far I've succeeded.
There are three kinds of people in the world, those that are good at math and those that aren't.
No matter how big of a hammer you use, you can't pound common sense into stupid people, believe me, I've tried.

And I remember when there was a "Kids"class because "Age and Treachery" was still a superior position.

Some of the best racers are in the senior division. I would stand a better chance if I could race in the toddler division. ;-)

Should be called the "Geezer" division!!
I can relate – I'll be 65 by then!!
It would eliminate from having to race "Duran" out here at BPR!!

Won't running two divisions make the racing day longer?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I assume we will tech them all at once and just separate them then. Should be interesting to see who makes a "false ID" to get into the Seniors. LMAO.

The only thing bad about Retro is admitting that you remember doing it originally.

So you are telling me there is some hope now for making the top eight. Thanks, I need all the help I can get these days.
Mike, can I pre-register now as a Senior/Geezer.

More smiling faces getting plaques.
I know it's not mandatory, but if I make the race, being on the GTC Pro list, I would just run in the regular races.

For the IRRA Board - Does a podium finish in the Senior division promote someone to the GTC-PRO List?
"Our job is to review current situations and operations; anticipate potential problems and failures; and have solutions prepared to be implemented.
However when your up to your butt in alligators, it can be difficult to remember the initial project was to drain the swamp."

Good question from Bob.
I'll pose another one.
If the reaction the Senior winner gets lasts for more than six hours, should he consult a physician?
