We'll be going with Oct. 6-8, with a minor benefit, Oct. 9 being Columbus Day.
 
Schedule will probably stay the same as the past two years, with the exception of possibly dropping Can-Am+, for RetroPro and going with split classes  for F1 and Can-Am, like what was done at Sano 7.
 
Possibly "Ohio style," if enough interest.

[raisin27]

What are "split classes"?

[Cap Henry]

Hand-out And non-hand-out motors.

[Bernie]

I'm down for RetroPro. 

[MSwiss]

What are "split classes"?

 

Like GTC Coupe, across the board.

Only guys on the list run Pro.

 

Hand-out And non-hand-out motors.

 

Possibly hand-outs continuing in "Amateur" F1 and Can-Am.

Unless something unforeseen happens, use your own motor in F1 and Can-Am Pro.

Both GTC classes will be hand-outs.

Both Fiedler Flat track races will be use your own motor.

[TG Racing]

Which rule set for RetroPro?

[MSwiss]

Probably Ohio, with the 4002FK.

If you run a Pro class in F1 and Can-Am would the top three in the Am class get on "the list"?

[MSwiss]

No. It didn't last time.

FWIW, in GTC-FK (Am), only the winner is put on the list.

Edit: if I did it again at Sano 12, the winners of F1 and Can-Am, would have to run Pro.

[Brinkley47]

I thought the top three in Can-Am always made the list?

[Noose]

Only when it is one whole race with everyone. Then the podium finishers in F1 and CA, if not already there, go on the list.

 

For GTC-FK it is the winner.

[MSwiss]

Thanks, Joe.

 

When I was answering Eric's question, I was thinking about it only in the context of how the move-ups work in GTC.

Mike,

 

How far are you from O'hare? And any hotel recommendations?

[Samiam]

This PLACE will most likely be the place to be for the Sano.

[Ricky Vegas]

I don't get to race like I used to with my work schedule at O'Hare.

 

Annual Sano is like Christmas to me! Feel like I did when I was a kid and we got slot car stuff for Christmas 

 

So good to see the 2017 event dates. And; see you for the Superstock 1000 in a few weeks too; Mike! 

[Cap Henry]

I think Rowdy and Matt are forcing me to attend LOL.

I think Rowdy and Matt are forcing me to attend lol

 

Good for them, but I have a question.

 

Do you not like us that you need to be forced?

[Noose]

Kev... he's married now. Need I say more? LOL.

[Cap Henry]

It's usually a tricky time with my race season, I believe the phrase used at R4 was "better figure out how you can make it" LOL.

[kvanpelt]

Kev... he's married now. Need I say more? LOL.

 

Uh... Nope! 

[MSwiss]

Mike how far are you from O'hare ? And any hotel recommendations?

Google Maps show 20 minutes, but that must be with perfect traffic.
25-35 minutes seems a bit more realistic.
 
If you are not a Priceline person, Red Roof Inn, in Downers Grove, about 10-12 minutes away, is a good choice.
 

This PLACE will most likely be the place to be for the Sano.

 
I doubt it.
 
While maybe cool, too far away and having to deal with Downtown traffic, and $25 parking, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
 

I think Rowdy and Matt are forcing me to attend LOL.

 
Terrific.
 
Someone has to make sure Rowdy hooks up for his races, with a network, in his Difalco. LOL.

[Dave Crevie]

There are lots of hotels and eateries on Butterfield road, about ten minutes from Mike's. I agree that Red Roof is the best for the money.

[RodneyZ]

Sounds good.

[FVracer]

Mike,

 

A couple of questions re the possible changes.

 

1) Why the changes?

2) Will the Am races be one and done? Will the pros be move-ups?

3) Why introduce a diff motor than RH into RetroPro?

 

Thanks.

[Butters37]

He's referring to anglewinder instead of Can-Am Plus. Ohio style means the way the ORS runs them with Pro Slot FK motors instead of the typical faster motors of anglewinder.
