TRP Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 This year should be one of the biggest events of the year. We will be posting more info as we get closer to this date. Purses will be posted soon, looking forward to a large car count!! We chose this date due to I37, STS and SOS being off this night. This will also be our night for the 3 track Street Stock Challenge! I will keep yall updated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texana55 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Wow, this should be an awesome night, and in the memory of such a beloved racer that passed way too early.. It will be exciting to have the TRP hosted Street Stock Shootout event along with the Limited Mods "2nd Annual Aaron Hudgeons Memorial Race". I know the streets will be doing time trials in lieu of heats to take the top 14 on time with the rest racing up thru a qualifier. Will you be doing time trials for the Limiteds also like last year? That was pretty cool. Also, since the Shootout will bring in drivers from various tracks that the fans don't know, we were hoping to do out of car driver introductions for the Street Stock feature. Hope we can do that again for the Limiteds too. It was really pleasing for the TRP fans to see Limited shoes like Howard Willis, JohnO Whittington, Steve Whiteaker Jr., and others that they only hear about normally and a couple of facts about them.... Side note, I'm hoping Willis can make it again this year. When he was introduced, I mentioned that he had eclipsed the 500 mark on feature wins.. Since that time he has kept his winning ways, and as best I can calculate he is around or just passing the 550 mark... And, I hope John O can make it and have a more successful drive home than last years. Gotta break that drive home memory with a better one for him.

Danielsen Motorsports Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Boy what a heck of an event to be part of! I was already looking forward to returning after giving away last years win but now it appears we are part of a much bigger plan, how cool is that.

TRP Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yes sir Monty, we will be having the Limited Mods qualify by time trial this year at this event as well. And, I am with you on the driver intro's. It's a great thing to have some well known drivers and some great drivers come to this event. And Stephan, it will be great to see you race again at TRP. It's been a year, but you will get your chance at redemption. Last years show was great, but I believe this year will be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMR21 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I may not have a car but I will be there! This is an event that I hold dear to my heart, Aaron and his family are/were just great people and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texana55 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 It is an absolute that August 27th will be one of the biggest things of the year at any track in Texas. We are already hearing of the real deal names who will be coming in for this. Some big name drivers will be coming in who have tremendous respect for the reason behind this Limited Mod race, tremendous respect for the friend that Aaron was to them, and true appreciation for the establishment of the scholarship fund..... It will be an absolute home run night for TRP with two major events on the same night, and I sincerely hope the scholarship fund will continue to grow in success as it did for the 2011 graduates. You can count us in for one of the $50 building blocks to the scholarship fund. What a great thing that y'all initiated. I will get by the shop between now and early August and give Sandra our money... This type of event is where the family of racers is personified as they come together for a common focus. This will need the local Limited Modified drivers to shake the trees to draw in their racing friends across the state and keep this topic at the forefront all in memory of their friend that passed way too soon.

texana55 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Going to be a ton of cars for only 2 classes. Who's going to have the most, Street Stocks or Limiteds? I'd like to say that street stocks will have more cars, but I think it is going to be very close. We shall see. After the bicycle give away this weekend, it will be interesting to see the energy start building and folks coming to the table to lay money down to make it a huge draw for some who have to travel from far.

racegirl55 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm extremely excited for this night, as I'm sure many racers and fans alike also are. This will be my first time to attend Aaron Hudgeon's Memorial race, as I was not able go last year. Being apart of this event not only as a fan of Aaron, his family, or all they have done for racing through out the years but also as a competition in the Street Stock Shootout at my home track will defiantly be one for the memory books.

texana55 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I've heard word that Howard Willis is planning to run this one again, Paul White, and John O. I would suspect and hope Lawrence and Steve Jr a well, along with a lot of other STS and I-37 drivers in addition to Johnny T. Hoping to see several of the Houston area guys also and will be calling Downey and Seals to see if they can make it. Hoping to see the chassis builder for Louisiana head over also.

TRP Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I believe that this is going to turn out to be bigger than last year. I know that the Hudgeons family are so thankful to each one of you that help to make this event a success. They enjoy seeing all of Aaron's friends and competitors come in his honor! I myself, am very proud to be a part and to be able to host this event at our track is such an honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMR21 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 All I have to say is "Kurt,you did one hell of a job. You raised a great human being, who touched way more people and gained their respect in such a relatively short time than most people do in 70 years. The apple didnt fall far from the tree." Most could only dream of feeling as proud as you must feel. I hope everything works out so that I can get a ride and run at least one lap in memory of a great racer, and donate any winnings back to the scholarship fund.

texana55 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Be prepared to get a little misty eyed when you see this year's Aaron Hudgeons Memorial Race" graphic that will be used for the flyer and the Texana website. My wife showed me the draft she prepared earlier today. It will be up on Texana's website soon and after July 23rd, we'll fix up a flyer for Ken and crew. We'll post the flyer here on LSSZ so you can download, print and hand out to many people and the track will be able to send to their print shop and do the same. -Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
