Less than 3 weeks away for this rescheduled event. As noted in another thread, this will be Bruce's last race to run as an owner of the raceway. Would sure like to see the pits overflowing as the Tesch's run their last race at TRP!!!

 

Is anyone ready to run for th $2,500 to win in limiteds?

 

Can anyone out drive Wade Jones before he wins a 3rd straight street stock series event?

 

$100 to start the A Main in Street Stocks and $500 to win, plus nightly awards for pole sitter, hard charger and B-main winners

(remember, if running in street stocks you must be registered with the series or register for a one night run at a cost of $20 paid directly to the series. This is above and beyond what the track charges to race.)

 

$100 to start the A Main in Limiteds and $2,500 to win. Plus, remember, there will be a promoters choice for 25th starting spot and an auction for 26th starting spot. Start money goes all the way down to 26th.

We are inside of the two week count down!.... Practice will be available on Friday, the 21st.

Pit Passes on Friday are $25 per person coming thru the pits and general admission will be free.

 

Looks like a couple of the Holy Moly Race cars coming to run with the Street Stock Shootout.

Who else will be coming to run in the 3rd Annual Aaron Hudgeons Memorial Race for Limited Mods and the Allgayer, Inc. South Texas Street Stock Shootout?
