NeilTPS Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 TPS starts 2006 at CCMS on Saturday March 11 The March 11th race at C.C. Motor Speedway will be an exclusive all feature race promotion of the United States Racing Association. Featured classes will include: USRA Super Late Model Series USRA Modified Series USRA Truck Series Texas Pro Sedan Series (invited by USRA) TPS will invite CCMS Thunder Cars to participate in the TPS race. CCMS cars will be accepted, as is, provided they are in compliance with their 2006 CCMS Thunder Car rules. They will be allowed three optional upgrade exceptions. 1. CCMS cars may use either TPS 13” Hoosier Racing Tires or use the DOT tire they ordinarily use. 2. CCMS cars may optionally change to after-market suspension parts. 3. CCMS cars may optionally lock drive wheels. (Note: These optional exceptions will prevail at both CCMS races on March 11 and August 19 and at TPS San Antonio Speedway races on April 15, July 15 and the “Octoberfast” event on October 7. The same optional exceptions will exist when TPS races at Thunder Hill Raceway during the 2006 season, schedule to-be-announced). The purpose of the rules exceptions is to assist CCMS Thunder Cars to compete at a much lower cost than changing to full TEXAS PRO SEDAN 2006 Rules. All drivers must comply with the TPS race rule to receive scanner 154.570 MHz or start at rear. The Race Bulletin and Entry Form for the March 11 race at C.C. Motor Speedway will be distributed in mid-February to all TPS members and possible CCMS Thunder Car drivers who indicate a wish to participate. Order of entry will determine qualifying order. If time trials are not held or completed, postmark entry order will establish the starting grid. The $50 entry fee will be refunded if a car fails to sign in at the CCMS pit gate. To receive a TPS March 11 Entry Form or for additional information contact: Neil Upchurch TPS Race & Administrative Director 210/ 655-3222 Phone & Fax 210/ 365-3221 Cell Phone neilupchurch@sbcglobal.net For further TPS information log onto: http://www.texasprosedans.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilTPS Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 bountyhuntercrew You asked " CAN RICK DRIVE HIS JET SKI??????????" Answer - Yes he can, when CCMS has a Jet Ski class race, but not in the TPS race. Those rules are covered above.

NeilTPS Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Crewcheif21,73 I figured the Jet Ski thing was a joke too. Just wanted to participate. Are you going to participate March 11? Thanks for the post. Neil neon14 Glad to hear from you. Do you understand your TPS membership credit from last season?

neon14 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Neil, just the thought of the entire TPS field taking the green flag with jet skis in tow sounds pretty cool to me! I think it would make a good race! Not for sure if I completly understand the membership credit from last season. Neon Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon14 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 ford12, no new rods and pistons, I just dont have the money for that stuff. No slicks, we will have to go with the best dot street tire we can find. Those tall street tires just just keep me off my rev limiter as it is right now. So you wont see any track record out of me. If any ccms car has a chance at the track record it would have to be G.B. He lit the track on fire at the end of last year, I think he was down in the teens with street tires.

thumper Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I hope the Pro Sedan race is at least 50 laps.This is a feature class and should be treated as such.Imagine Nascar racing only a 25 lap race.Thunders race 25 laps every Sat.With 50 laps the trick tires can burn off the tire treatment and be on equal footing with the regular tires.People tend to be more careful with a longer race also.If it was my choice,it would be 75 laps but its not my call.The # of laps should seperate Pro Sedans from a regular nites class.Just my opinion.I find it hard to justify traveling 7 hours for a regular night of racing.Fortunantly,CC is only a couple of hours.And the only track records will be those with "special tires".Check with a durometer if you dont believe me.Lalo never figgured that out.Anyway I hope to be in the CC races too.Its the closest I will get to a "Nascar Race".Thumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilTPS Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 The following was extracted from 2006 Texas Pro Sedans Rules & Specifications. G. TIRE RULES: All cars must utilize the Hoosier TUSA F 60 8.0/23.0 x 13” - or - Hoosier F60 8.0/23.0 x 13” racing slicks. TPS members must purchase tires from either of the official TPS tire dealers: David Mackey located in Austin, TX. The dealership is open during daytime business hours (Mon/Fri) to sell over–the- counter. Tires from David Mackey will also be delivered on race day to THR, SAS or other tracks. For shipping orders from David Mackey call cell number days > 512/913-9364 or shop days 512/288-4869 or > 512/280-4869 nights. Bartell Racing located at 1621 Mussett, Corpus Christi, TX for over-the-counter sales and service (Mon/Fri) to TPS crews as a convenience to Corpus Christi area TPS drivers.

honda 46 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 hate to ask, but does anyone have a radio i can barrow for the tps race march 11. i don't want to buy one for just one night. th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewcheif21,73 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Todd you just need a scanner not a radio. Not sure who have one useally theres some people that race in tps that will loan you one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilTPS Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Crewcheif21,73 - Don't count on loaners being available. honda 46 - My suggestion is for you to look up some of those CC area NASCAR fans who go to Texas Motor Speedway. When you look around, about 80% of those folks have a scanner on their ears. That same scanner can be tuned to the TPS frequency and you are in compliance. A tip - TPS drivers found the "hot set-up" to be double ear plugs because they couldn't hear well with one ear plug. The rule restated is: All drivers must comply with the TPS race rule to receive scanner 154.570 MHz or start at rear. (BTW - drivers must be on scanner anytime they are on track - practice, time trials, race(s). I hope this information helps.
