Well, F1 Tech has just closed and there are 51 entries!! It has been decided to run six semis and possibly a final/feature, if time allows.

Concours judging is in progress, using the racer vote format.

[Pablo]

Has to be some sort of record, yes?

This sucks! I so terribly wanted to attend this race but wouldn't you have guessed it. First I got sick with a severe cold maybe even the flu and then just Thursday my wife came down with the same crap. Looks like I'll have to wait til next year and my Noose -painted bodies looked so good. I wish all attending good luck and please beat Bennardo's butt LOL.

Good luck to all and happy retro racing!

Hugh,

I can tell you Ron Hershman won the fourth race with 272 laps, but that's all I know.

It's really the truth: the race director forgot to print that semi and I won't receive the results until all the semis are complete.

To all the participants at the R4, please tell Howie Ursaner that a lot of the racers nationwide have chipped in and taken up a little collection to assist him in his comeback. Soldering iron, solder, brass, piano wire, tools, etc.

And... as a special bonus, a Mike Steube scratchbuilding DVD!!! He should receive it shortly.
