debwill Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 The sun is shining here in Corpus Christi! We arrived here (in Corpus) yesterday evening, and we've had absolutely NO RAIN! It looks like most of the rain is north of Corpus. Austin sure looks like it's getting hammered. And the radar looks promising. I just spoke with Dan Monroe, the owner of CCS, and we're planning to open up on schedule for the TSRS practice session at 4:00 p.m. today. If we can't practice today due to the weather, we will open the gate a couple of hours earlier tomorrow (Saturday). So, come on down and join us at the races.

txtom Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Anybody remember the track record for the USRA super late models? I can't seem to find my references notes about USRA or ROMCO. I think USRA only ran there in 2005, none in 2006. I know the TIDA record was a 13.48 set by Slick Yoemans in '96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilTPS Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Tom: The Texas International Drivers Association Late Model Series track record at Corpus Christi Speedway is 13.485 seconds. It was timed by the TIDA Infra Red system on October 19, 1996. The record holding driver is Slick Yeomans from Corpus Christi and North Carolina. He drove a Ford Thunderbird 272 CID V-6. The Texas Pro Sedan track record was broken the last time TPS raced at CCS on July 9, 2005. The record time was set by Donnie Moore of Hutto, Texas in a VW Scirocco/1710cc. His record stands at 15.370 seconds.
