BARBERTON, OH … The ‘Race for the Ring’ will once again be an integral part of the popular Third Annual Retro ElecTric Racing Organization (RETRO) sanctioned Race of Champions (RoC), to be held at High Banks Raceway in Barberton, Ohio on Saturday, July 19.
A specially designed hand ring, sponsored by Fast Ones / Outisight Bodies, will once again be awarded to the racer who scores the best overall finish between the featured RETRO Can-Am and Group 7-68 car classes. Previous winners of the ‘ring’ were Rick Davis (2012) and ‘Sano’ Dave Fiedler (2013).
The first two editions of the RoC were staged at the now closed Mid-America Raceway in Chicago, IL.
“A big part of the RoC mystique is the fact that the race utilizes a hand out motor procedure,†said race organizer Ron Hershman. “The first two years we used Pro Slot 4002 ‘Puppy Dog’ motors. This time around we have decided to run the new, low cost, sealed Pr o Slot 4002-FK motor, which is proving to be very popular across the country.â€
Racers will be permitted to purchase and practice with their engraved hand out motors on Friday, July 18, beginning at 6:00 PM.
