We had 18 RetroPro entries running two nine-manround robin mains combining results.

Quite a variety of chassis.

Joe Gallagher TQ and sets a new RetroPro Track Record with a super quick 2.906, with Sam Rackham a close 2.999. The only two in sub 3.00. Joe Chevy just missing out at 3.006 and Garret Sisk a quick 3.023. The remaining racers in the top 10 were in the 3.1s.

A big Thank You to all 18 racers supporting RetroPro. It’s always nice to see fellow racers who travel quite a distance to support the Kelly/Checkpoint Cup series.
 
And to Rich and his crew for providing a great facility to race.

Nice coverage Roy--thank you!  One minor upgrade--when you take the chassis pics--it would be great to see the driver's names! :)

Thanks Tim.

Alice and I noticed that while posting. Will do next time. 
There were quite a mix of builders that should be recognized.

This class is getting faster and at only 13.8v.

Nice report, Roy. Thank you. But... you forgot to mention Joe Gallagher 2.906 was also a new track record.

Thanks, Jim. Original post has been updated. 
 
Also, Joe’s TQ photo is not his RetroPro car. I didn’t have that photo. You can see his green car in the original post under A Main.
