Re: DRAFT Updated Retro Regulations (incl RETRO PRO)

I think the checks are meant to be done with the guide clear, so that the car is resting on all 4 wheels. ie, test block needs cut out to clear the guide.

Brad, it's good to see someone looking back at the original regs.

Re: DRAFT Updated Retro Regulations (incl RETRO PRO)

Hand is up for the combined body list. As far as point #2, good idea as to how each class could be run, but track owner should have final say in the behaviour of drivers and marshals . Really, nothing should need to be written about behaviour, if we are all there to have fun, and demonstrate common ...

Re: DRAFT Updated Retro Regulations (incl RETRO PRO)

The rules look ok and workable.

It doesn't really matter too much what rules we have, as long as we all respect and abide by them.

I hope tech. at each race will prove that to be the case.

Re: DRAFT Updated Retro Construction Regulations

The history behind the change was that originally the only wheels available were the Alpha hubs and cars were built to 3.125" as per the regulations at the time. Further down the track JK hubs became available and these were wider than the Alpha hubs which meant that some cars were now too wid...

True. Closest thing in IRRA is their "Retro Anglewinder" class. Similar, but only angle winder.

Re: DRAFT Updated Retro Construction Regulations

They can run Can-Am in Pro.
I think Bryan Warmack actually won a race against a field of Pro chassis.
True, but if they want to win, they will need to build Pro chassis.

Re: DRAFT Updated Retro Construction Regulations

OK, thanks. Mark I don't like the rule that you can run any can-am retro car in Pro. Pro cars are going to be 1/2 sec, quicker If a compliant Retro Can-Am car was presented at tech for a Retro-Pro event, wouldn't it pass tech? If so, it could be used. Sure, it might not be competitive, but could sti...
