BOBBY JACK


I 2nd that notion!

Are LLM's running this nite?
South Texas Speedway
Street Stock Rules are as follows:

STS Street Stock Rules
I-37 Street Stock Rules
Edna Street Stock Rules
Goliad Street Stock Rules
Houston Area Hobby Rules


I think the CC Speedway Super Streets will fit into the I-37 Rules pretty well, just change tires and you should be elidgible for the most part.

If your car fits any of these rules it will be legal for the Shootout, we will tech to the rules you declare when you arrive.

Is the qualifying going to be by time trials or heat races ?
South Texas Speedway

Cool... And Owen, will it be qualifying heats and qualifier race on Friday to set the A for the streets and then last chances / features on Saturdays for the fender cars much like what they did in the valley last year. In other words, is it racing both Friday and Saturday for the streets? We're really looking forward to this event!

THe STS street stock rules are the pure stock rules of today with a hand full of changes. They will be out in a week or so there are way conservative compared to 37

I RAN 6.27 FINAL IN MY PURESTOCK WHEN I WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN 09. WHEN I RAN THERE THIS YEAR WITH I 37 STREETSTOCK I RAN 6.50 AND TURNED 6700. PROBABLY COULD USE A little more gear just dont have it right now. I KNOW SOME OF THE CARS ARE RUNNING 6.88 FINAL. ALSO HEARD THEY ARE GOING TO RECONFIGURE BACKSTRETCH TO D SHAPE WHICH WOULD INCREASE RPMS ON BACKSTRETCH. HOPE THIS HELPS.

We are doing some reconstrcution of the back straight mainly to allow the driver to come off 2 with out getting into the outer wall. Not sure it will be a true d-shape when done but I have a feeling you drivers will turn it into a d-shape before it is all over. rolleyes.gif There will be a new wall back there but should not be in the way like the current wall is. Look to have it done by the Practice on November 26th.

thanks
Owen

COOL. I HIT THAT WALL ON THE FIRST LAP OF THE FEATURE LAST TIME I RACED. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE, HAVE SEEN A FEW NOT SO LUCKY.

No matter where you put that wall. Some of us will find it and hit it.

Hi, I'm from northern Oklahoma and looking to try and come down for the race. What gear/rpm is average for the sport mods? Is the track normally dry, tacky, slick? How many cars where there last year? We would be bringing two sport mods, and any info would be appreciated.

THANKS!!
rebelracewriter
Greg?.....Last year they had about 50 cars show up....Owen usually tries to keep the track tacky and I believe has recut it since the last time I was there....Not sure on gears/rpm.....Don't know how close you are to Randy Timms, he was down here last year and could probably give his input.....

Here's a link to the write up from last years feature....I'm planning on going down there again this year.... http://www.lonestarspeedzone.com/forums/in...showtopic=39512
biggbossmann1985
Lol, I couldn't even get my signature or pic put up before somebody figured me out. I've been in contact with another racer down there and got some help. We are trying to make our schedule work to go down.
princessmarcia
Will be good to see you Jay. I am looking forward to this race, but I am thinking this might be my last race. Although I told Owen I would give him 5 more years. I am getting old. Too old to climb those steps. He has given me help this year. Someone carries my computer, etc up for me. I really like working for Owen, he is the greatest, so I will probably be around another 5 years. After he finishes the new back stretch, I am going to ask for an elevator to the scoring booth, don't think I will get, but what the hell I am going to ask.

Princess, I suspect Owen would heavily consider an elevator to keep you... Or, he would carry you up and down the bleachers each night if needed.... wink.gif ... Looking forward to our trip down there in December...
rebelracewriter
LOL @ Greg....We've talked before on another site and briefly at one of the TMS races....

Marcia you are a big asset to Owen and STS...I'm sure he'll do what he can to accommodate you....a can of Red Bull will give you wings....LOL

yes sir that would be awesome, let me know if you decide to do that.
Racer 88
yes you need to find tires, the LUCHE is looking for tires also, i think the only thing that does not match the rules might be the intake but I dont care.
BOBBY JACK

Bobby, I see intake, cam, and weight jacks with exerior mounted shocks.....oh and the sway bar mount being adjustable if you should decide to run one......I guess for this one race the CC Super Streets are invited.

Greg, I think Bobby is refering to the I-37 Rules that are allowed for this race, only thing different is the intake.

Everyone will have to claim their track rules and we will tech to those rules for this race including the CC Speedway cars that choose to participate.

Very few I37 cars to full advantage of the full rules including myself. I am still running my SOS motor from year prior plus roller rockers. I also run stock mounted shocks. No rear weight jacks. So I am not saying there isnt cars with everything possible but the bulk of cars running their dont. Besides the g60 tires are a huge equalizer.
lumpys
To avoid reading thru each tracks rules can someone tell me that would be in the know, Is a legal I-Stock eligible for this event?
Danielsen Motorsports
You should look at i37 rules they would be the closest to what IStock allow without being an Istock

The last time a I-stock ran it had to run a 350 carb. That was Don out of Austin and Randy from SA.. Hope this helps
South Texas Speedway
After further review any I-Stock's that want to compete would have to race under I-37 rules.

How would it be for the bomber class? Will they be running? If so, what will be the pay out?
South Texas Speedway
Due to time constaints we will only be racing the Limited Modifieds and the Street Stocks. All you guys with bombers and LLM come out and enjoy the racing and the music.

Owen
South Texas Speedway
Just around the corner. We will not have the Pear Ratz, they will be replaced with bigger and better since they decided to cancel on us to go play for the same old crowd at Brewster Street. Not to worry there will be an awesome band playing on the 2nd.
South Texas Speedway
We are less than 2 weeks out, wanted to clarify, at this point we are racing Limiteds and Street Stocks, we are considering Front Runners / Sport Compact race to help promote that class locally, if anyone is intested and has one please let me know.
