tps48 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have a lot of people to thank for helping me get my car to the track but most of all to Dennis Taylor for all the help this week. I swore a long time ago I would not build a car from the ground up, now I remember why. Had a great time. Also, I think we witnessed history tonite. Correct me if I'm wrong, but our own Kevin Hallman (97 car) finished the race. Nothing broke. Is this a first or what? Way to go Kevin. And watch out for that new Toyota (01) I think he's sandbagging. See you all at the next race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 i agree with that yota thing ..he has a large sand bag in the car .i saw it being delivered ,,,. tory you dont have to be shy ..hit the gas ..heck of a race ...one mistake by one of 4 drivers most of that race and the outcome could have been bad ..so ata boy to the drivers ... i sergio had to be looking in that mirror 98 percent of the time ..cuz it was full .. i hope all tps races run that clean .that close all year ....and mike .not beingh mean .but you looked like you have been dead for six months today .no color in you face .just dead tired look ..car looked good though .we will have to keep an eye ouit for you ..

NickHolt Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Funny, I don't remember getting an invite to have some of Lalo's famous BBQ. Jeez... I wonder if we'll have to cut out Lalo's video interview due to all the rumbling stomach noises the mic must have picked up as we taped...

NeilTPS Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I just wanted to thank all Texas Pro Sedans drivers who competed in the April 11th race at Thunderhill Raceway for their close racing and excellent sportsmanship. There wasn't a scratch on any car in spite of the fact that April 11th was a full moon night. Maybe we caught a break with the cloud cover in which a full moon couldn't be seen. I also wanted to thank all Texas Pro Sedans car owners and crews for their work in preparing some well crafted and good looking TPS cars for the start of the 34th consecutive Texas Pro Sedans racing season. For any TPS driver who hasn't filed entry for our next race at THR on April 25, the Race Bulletin and Entry Form is posted on www.TexasProSedans.com Neil Upchurch Race & Administrative Director Texas Pro Sedans 210/655-3222 office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Nick nick you didnt notice how lalo was changing angles why you and he talked ....... i cant say for sure .but he was either trying to get the cam angle at the right spot to show everyone he had the top dog of all pit crews .which includes me ofcourse ..are he was trying to block off the sight of the bbq .....

97car Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I need the right gear, and more power that little 6500 rpm cam was stretching pretty tight with the low gears around the bottom, also need to correct the caster. Looking at the tires I have a lot of camber gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToryC Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks Sergio for the plug wire that kept me out of the 3-cylinder division. Thanks Lalo for the BBQ. I'll be back for that if nothing else. Thanks to all for a really great first experience with TPS. Wish I could say I was sandbagging - it I had been, I'd have stuck a little closer to the guy in front of me! See ya'll in a couple weeks.

I had had a strained neck earlier in the week, and while it wasn't necessarily that that kept me away, the meds I was on did. I didn't think Neil or the THR staff would have thought too highly of me racing under the influence of vicoden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
