  The last major Retro race of 2024 at Piranha Speedway will be the Boola Bash and will be held next month on October 24-26. The same schedule as last year with 5 races, Retro Pro, Nascar Enduro, Retro Coupe, F1 and Can Am. F1 and Can Am will be IRRA rules and Retro Pro, Nascar Enduro and Retro Coupe will be SCRRA rules. All races will be on the King track except for the Retro Coupe race which will be on the Piranha Flat track

 

 Retro Pro begins the weekend on Friday, Oct.24 with tech inspection at approximately 6 PM.

 

  As usual the 3 HR Nascar Enduro will be run on Saturday, Oct 25, with the Retro Coupe race to follow about an hour after the end of the Enduro.   Nascar Enduro tech will begin at 9 AM on Saturday as we hope to get the race started no later than 9:30 as the Retro Coupe race follows the Enduro and we need to keep things moving along smartly.  Piranha Speedway wishes to thank all the racers for helping to keep things running smoothly over the years and on time!     :good:

 

  Same basic Nascar Enduro format as always with no qualifying and Concours determining the lane choice for the top 3 and the computer picking the rest. 12 minutes on each lane, 2 times through 8 lanes so the race is technically 3 hours and 12 minutes long.  Lane changes will be 2 minutes long and working on the cars will be allowed during the change over.

 

   We will again attempt to keep track calls to an absolute minimum. If several cars are off on the floor but are easily within reach of marshalls there will be NO track call. However if one car is buried in a totally inaccessible spot, a track call will obviously be necessary.  Under the bridge will also be a track call.  We've never had any issues in the past with excessive track calls and it seems when things get going and everyone settles in there are very few offs.

 

  A quick rundown again of the simple NASCAR Enduro rules. These are the SCRRA  Anglewinder Nascars and NOT the IRRA stockcars.  Basically, the chassis are Retro Coupes but with a Nascar body and a 4 1/2" wheelbase and this will be checked at tech. .812 rear tires with .050 clearance and .750 fronts with .015 clearance and a maximum width of 3 1/8".   This year again, along with the hard to find Electric Dreams Mercury Cyclone we will be allowing several new bodies, the JK Products B125B Chevy and the B126B Ford. The JK Mercury Cyclone B137B and the O/S Mercury Cyclone 653 will also be allowed and all bodies must be .010.  Piranha Speedway will have the JK bodies in stock. The maximum rear body height with spoiler included is 1 9/16" and spoilers can be as wide as the body.  All cars must have interiors that fully connect the windows and no part of the chassis may be seen when viewed from above.  All cars must have 3D drivers with shoulders and arms and the drivers head must be no lower than the windows and must be seen when viewed from the side. CR102 motors are allowed and all other SCRRA rules will apply and weighted guides are NOT allowed.

 

   As usual, teams can be made up of 3, 4 or 5 drivers and there is no rule governing driving time or driving order and teams will be left to determine this as they see fit.  Teams can sign up for the Enduro here on Slotblog and Piranha Speedway will also have a sign up sheet going.

 

  Sunday, Oct 26 will feature F1 and Can Am on the King track and both races will be run under IRRA rules. Tech for F1 will begin at 9;30 AM followed by Can Am. The Can Am race will be a hand out motor race using the CR102's. Racers will be able to purchase as many motors as they want and will be able to purchase them on Saturday.

 

  So, a quick schedule summary...

 

         Friday, Oct 24 -          Retro Pro on the King track          6 PM tech

 

         Saturday,  Oct 25  -    Nascar Enduro on the King track       9 AM tech   

                                              Retro Coupe on the Flat track with tech approximately 1 hour after the end of the Enduro

 

         Sunday,  Oct 26  -      IRRA F1 and Can Am on the King track with 9:30 AM tech for F1. Can Am tech will begin                                                                                                                       approximately an hour after F1

 

                                               See you there!!   :good:

Well guys, I'm done with slot racing. I reckon things are just too fast for my "skills" as they were. Going to sell off my retro cars, maybe keep one for remembering and my DR30 controller. Hopefully, see you guys at the Boola Bash. It was fun for me while it lasted. The trap and skeet range is what I do these days. See ya in Oct. You guys were/are the best.

Tom, slot cars are about the size of a clay pigeon
