rebelracewriter Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 don't shoot the messenger LOL....Sorry didn't mean for it to appear that way.....Been on that side of the fence myself numerous times. Just didn't seem right to begin with or like they were trying to draw many cars.....With USMTS the week after at TRP and HRP(Baytown) it would be a chance to get guys down earlier....But with that purse structure I see no one but locals showing up.....The travelings guys will seldom show up for a "Non-guaranteed" purse....Even with your 100 car scenerio the split of 4,500 wouldn't go very far....

HOTChassis Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Just read on rgs forum that race fuel and methanol will not be available, maybe av gas will. So if anyone comes, bring some fuel Super Unleaded is around 2.20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallracing2003 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Just read on rgs forum that race fuel and methanol will not be available, maybe av gas will. So if anyone comes, bring some fuel Super Unleaded is around 2.20 Just read that also, pump gas can be had anywhere of course, but if anyone is needing Methanol for your modified, you can contact: RGV Race Fuels (956) 792-0137 They stockpile methanol and other race fuels, last I checked a 55gal drum of methanol was $240.00 but check by calling. Also, Methanol can be bought at The Oil Patch in Pharr, Tx not sure on the price, they are open on Saturday's till noon and weekdays till 5pm. Here is a link to The Oil Patch's information: http://national.citysearch.com/profile/356...nd=smx_ypnat-nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm'71 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Was there racing last night (Thursday) at RGS? Lots of rain yesterday and last night in El Valle. A race fan in Brownsville would like to know that answer and car counts as he is planning a trip to McAllen both tonight and Saturday night. I haven't seen any updated info posted on this site or the RGS forum. Thanks. Just a fan. Got I-Stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallracing2003 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 gonna be cold maybe.. We've raced every night the past couple days, big race is tonight. Weather has been EXCELLENT, the rain went through the middle of the valley and the track has not seen a drop at all. Gonna be chilly tonight, but I think thats the best racing weather you can have.

SassyCassie14 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I just got a call from Big Al and he told me the great news. Both Kris and Brian Rye made it to the A-main, which will be run shortly. He believes that Kris will start on the 3rd row and Brian will start on the 7th row. WTG guys. Good luck!!!

hray Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Someone clarify a rumor for me. I was told there were only 9 Mods and 31 Sport Mods. That surely can't be for what used to be the premier Mod race in TX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTChassis Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 at the most....12 mods, if that I believe in total, there were about 50 limiteds....give or take 4-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Times they are a-changing...... Rusty, did you see the pay out for mods???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hray Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I did, so I'm really not suprised, but I really thought there would be more Sport Mods. The other part of the rumor was that there were very few out-of-towners. More like a local show than the big show it used to be. It's a shame, but you're right Jay, "times are a changin'".

HOTChassis Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 be that as it may....hopefully it will encourage other out of towners to come down next year...if it happens again. With only 40 something limiteds, he didnt cut the purse one bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txhotmod Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Sure hope this event will be run next year For those who were unable to come--you missed out on some good racing with a very good pay out--down the line---we run 5th and got $ 1,000 bucks The race was very competitive and well run with only a few minor "GRUDGE" pushng and shoving and I guess that is expected--- Tech was well run and rules enforced--couple of D Q s for compression ALL in ALL---A GREAT SHOW I think that next year--run a 2 day show and you will see that car count up-- lotta guys can get off for the 3 day show-- Big Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RETIRED FAN Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Thanks for a great weekend, both Chris & I had fun & that's what it is all about. Great competition with clean racing. We came back to Boerne with only minor damage to our quarters after what we figure was about 230 laps with both cars. That is remarkable ! It also is credit to all the drivers, everyone drove hard & drove good lines !!! To the promoters, thanks for your hospitality , & for sticking to your commitments. We know that your purse was designed for more than 80 cars, but your paid what you posted. I hope that is not forgotten by the racers. We will be back next year & I hope that the word gets out about your commitment to racing in South Texas. Thanks Again for a great weekend.
