The twelveth running of the Retro Re-union And Revival Race is just a few weeks away. It's time to start prepping for this event as it's one of the most competitive of the year in IRRA retro racing. Hopefully this post along with the several others I've posted today will answer most of your questions. If not we will do our best to answer anything you send our way. Mark your calendars for March 15-17, 2019. Can't wait to see all of you.....

Procedures
We will again be using a controlled practice format. The format is simple. Drivers will form two lines, one starting at Red Lane and one starting at Black Lane. Those starting on Red will use normal lane rotation (Red - Green - Blue - Purple) then leave the track after Purple and re-join the line if wanted. Those starting on Black will also follow normal rotation (Black - Yellow - Orange - White) and leave the track after White to re-join the line if needed. Please check the schedule to see how much time is allowed on each lane for the individual days. The track will automatically shut off and announce the change with a 30 second pause before power is restored. Changing lanes is MANDATORY even if other lanes are open.
In an effort to improve the practice sessions the lines will form for the Black Lane rotation in the "Finger" and the "Ninety" for the Red Lane rotation. Drivers will help marshall the "Finger" then move to the "Deadman" then to the "On Deck" position at the drivers panel (Black rotation). Red rotation will first marshal the "Ninety", move to the "Doughnut", then the "Lead On", before hooking up to Red Lane. Your cooperation should make this a much better practice experience.

Since almost all GT Coupe Pro racers will be in-house already we will begin registration and motor handout at 5:00PM Thursday. NO MOTOR may leave the raceway and all motors must be returned to impound BEFORE closing at 10:00PM. GT Coupe racers are also encouraged to register and choose their motors BUT will they will not get their motors until Friday morning per the schedule. This will reduce the time spent in line Friday morning and maximize break-in time for everyone. Handing out the GT Coupe Pro motors on Thursday allows them to go directly on the track Friday morning while the GT Coupe racers work on breaking in their motors. INITIAL MOTOR PURCHASE LIMITED TO 2.
