TRP Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Street Stocks will not be a full time class at TRP in 2015! We will still host 1 shootout race (with another date pending depending on another track) and we will try to work Street Stocks in on a few other occasions if the opportunity presents its self. The truck class has gotten together with some of the local street stock guys and mutually agreed on a set of rules so that some Street Stocks will be able to race full time at TRP in 2015. If any body has any questions feel free to contact me. Thanks for Understanding, Zach Tesch (979)-733-7371 Greg Sexton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRP Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 When the initial schedule and classes were released there was a different partnership taking over TRP in 2015. When Greg and myself sat down and talked about the direction we wanted to take the track we didn't think we could draw a full field of street stocks on a weekly basis because half of the local cars didn't want to change to Street Stock Shootout rules so they got with the trucks and agreed to run together in 2015 to ensure a full field of cars. We are in no means trying to cut the Street Stocks out that is why we are having the Street Stock Shootout at TRP (hopefully twice) in 2015 because what they have done with that series is nothing short of phenomenal. We are also looking to add Street Stocks to a few night when the Shoot Out events are not going on so that we can ensure a full field of cars to our fans, because at the end of the day we are trying to put on the best show possible every time we race. I am sorry for any confusion and inconvenience if anybody has any questions or concerns feel free to call or text me at (979)-733-7371.

Chevy35 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have never seen a full field of trucks now you are putting two classes together to make a full field or try to there were more street stock wanting to run there then there is trucks in total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brm Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I built my motors according to your rules posted on 12-21-14 are they legal? What is package A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerguy8811 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Zach if we can ensure a full field on your first night would you reconsider? There are alot of small tire street stocks around just victoria alone that were looking forward to edna opening back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godspeed14 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Like Zach said, we are interested in running the cars that race the street stock series. On a race night that you guys have a sss race we would be cutting someones throat to overlap... Yes were are interested in having more races. How about we start here, how many cars do we have that are wanting to run at Texana, and what dates are we talking about. That information will help us make decisions... Zach has posted his number, mine is 979-482-6121... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arob Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Just curious , what is the minimum car count for a full field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godspeed14 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 There really isn't a set number of cars required for a minimum field. The trucks started in Edna years ago, and have been liked by the fans ever since. Combining them with the street stock cars that are not going to run the series should produce a decent number of cars. We are looking to put on a show for the fans, after all, that is what will keep this track open. As we have stated, the series has a great thing going, we do not want to schedule on top of them, so let's look at what nights we have that a shootout race is not scheduled, how many cars we have, and go from there...

top_shelf_12 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Not sure if it was listed with the purse but you may want to clarify if that will be the purse regardless of car count or if you only have 7 cars for example, what would the purse be? Just in case you get to racing and have 5 cars for example, they won't be confused on purse. If you plan to reduce purse in the case of low car counts, drivers would want to know. Hopefully it won't be an issue, just trying to save a headache if it wasn't already clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top_shelf_12 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Ok thanks, wasn't too sure if it was posted and was tied up at work. Guess that's what I get for trying to multitask lol. I hope everything gets straightened out up there and TRP has a great season, glad it's reopening. Any more updates on the Hudgeon's Memorial?

MR81 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I know of atleast 10 sss cars that would run there on a consistent basis, but as far as opening night none would be there because that is the first shoutout race in corpus. I also can only think of one big tire street stock that would run on weekly basis with the trucks. Question is why should one or two street stocks that don't wanna change with the times get to join a different class to run and everyone else that has adapted to shootout rules get punished from supporting their local track.

arob Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Aw ,all the street stocks that don't want to go to STSSS rules just change the name to hobbies.Street stocks will be STSSS rules.Track runs both with the class with smaller car count race once a month.Problem solved.

godspeed14 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 The decision to combine the two classes was not a track decision, it was a decision made by the racers, anyone within the rules will be allowed to run in that class. We are not favoring anyone or any class, but as stated above, if we had street stocks on opening night nobody would be there... That is what we're trying to avoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexanaBrad Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 On a safety note there needs to be a max weight allowed and maybe ride height you wouldnt want to catch a bumper in the window net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_shelf_12 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Agree Brad. That was one concern I saw when SOS announced the Classics class. If I drove a metric Street or even Camaro, wouldn't want to be hit by a truck. Good luck to you guys up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racingfox21 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 We made the switch to 8" tires and were looking forward to running a street stock regularly at Texana... There are more street stocks out there than you think to support Texana that dont want to run the full shootout schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
