Ok, Good deal Buddy....

Scotty.... They are still deciding.... They are desperate for Drivers Input on that very Subject. It is a good chance of a Stock Car Type of racing class.... Please send in a SPRS Drivers Input Survey or Make Contact with "Mike Petters95" here on LSSZ... He just P/M'd me and asked me if I knew any racer that is interested in racing @ HMP in a Stock Car type. I have a Street Stock Roller that will be ready around the first of the Year, This Car that I have will be For Sale for Racers interested in Racing @ HMP in a Street Stock.... They are scrambling to find interested Racers in General but also they are seeming to want to start up a Stock Car Class of some type. They are thinking of Street Stocks or Maybe a Pure Stock type of Class..... So any one with a Street Stock, Factory Stock, or a Pure Stock that is some what ready to go..... Then send in a Driver Survey or Make Contact with Mike Peters95 ASAP. We All want a Street Stock class racing again HMP. It would be on the "American Racer" asphalt racing tires of coarse....

The GCRS currently does Not have a "Street Stock" class, They have a "Pure Stock" and "Sportsman" racing classes there Mobile Int. Speedway.... Just Google search "Gulf Coast Racing Series" or "Gulf Coast Racing Series" F/B page.... Hope Info Helps...

Go to (racesprs@gmail.com), or the "Southern Premier Racing Series" F/B page, the 2022 SPRS Rules will be out very soon.... Hope Info Helps...

Some are Folks are Saying that These Pro-Stocks are were like Factory Stocks.... However, I beg to Disagree due to... with the Attention to Detail of these Racers Making the Effort to Make these Cars CLEAN & SLEEK Looking like they were, Simply because it was a NASCAR Class @ HMP..... Making this Racing Class a Step Above a Factory Stock. Just the Safety Rules alone that this Racing Class was Subject to incorporate into these Racing Class.... Required Hans Devices, SA Type of Helmets, Full - Top to Bottom SFI Racing Suites, SFI Gloves, SFI Driving shoes, In Date Seat Belts & Window Nets.... The very same as the Pro-Classes.... Also these Cars Ran Chassis Headers, Ford 9" Rear Ends, All Steel Bodies as well...., These cars Had to Meet Up to those Strick Rules.... All Meaning that HMP was an Asphalt Nascar Sanctioned Racing Facility at the time with sort of like Standards to Meet With.... Great Class to Race in Indeed, The Race Fans Just Loved this Stock Class For Sure.... These Cars were a Tick Above Being Factory Stocks !!!!, But Very, Very Competitive for sure.... Every Track should have a Stock Bodied / Stock Frame " V-8 Stock Car" Racing Class of Some Sort or Another.... Street Stock, Pure Stock, Chargers, Factory Stocks..... But at HMP, The FANS & RACERS RELATE TO THE PRO-STOCKS OR STOCKS CARS as the Preferred Stock Car Racing Class @ HMP.... The Super Stocks were Refugees left over from San Antonio Speedway & Central Texas Speedway looking for a Place to race at when those two tracks closed down !!! The "Pro-Stocks" were Native to HMP and Should Always Be the Stock Car Class @ HMP in my Opinion !!!! Sure Mike Peters..... Feel Free to use any of these Pic's that I posted to share my Passion for being a Part of this Class back in the Hay Day of HMP. So Please Do Share these Photos & Info with the Houston Area Race Fans of these Great Drivers, Great Race Track of our Area. If this Class could get Started again @ HMP would very, very Cool indeed... Glad to Help Out if Needed !!!! John Cornish #02

Good Old Uncle Bob.... If any one would know any thing about HMP, It would be "Good Old Uncle Bob". Thanks My Friend.....

Yep Agreed.... Miss Janett sure did Hold Her Own with the Big Boy's in that Beauty right There. I think they were holding that car back.... Hoping the Class Would Return to HMP, But The Central Texas area Super Stocks Prevailed. Just Admire the Attention To Detail & Craftmanship We All put into these Asphalt Racing Rides. The Best Start Up type of Racing Cars for young Aspiring Asphalt Racers for that Track & at that Time Frame..... A Fan Favorite as well the as for the Local area Young Racers alike.... Thanks for Looking....

Here are some Memories of the Old School "Pro-Stocks" in Competition at HMP a Few Years Back..... Thanks for Looking.....

Rails, Just tune in to Rodney's Reved up Sports Show at the Link in his post above in this thread. He will have the Promotor John Alverson on his show tonight @ 7:00 pm.

Yes Rails..... on the New "Southern Premier Racing Series" F/B Page....

The New Series is: "Southern Premier Racing Series" (SPRS) w/ Promoter John Alverson & the help of Dean Baker, Race on Texas, Cell Tech Trailers..... Promoting Pavement Oval Racing Events @ "HMP" & The "Revolution Park - Speedway" in Monroe, La. in the Future as well. First Racing Event @ HMP is set for 09/10/2022 W/ a Open House, Meet & Greet, & Free Practice session @ HMP 08/06/2022. Besh Wishes & Good Luck: Sothern Premier Racing Series.

Very Commendable of John Alverson & Dean Baker to Attempt to get the Oval Track up & Racing Again with the New Series " Southern Premier Racing Series" .... W/ the first Racing Event set for 09/10/2022, with a Total of Three Racing Events set for 2022.... So Please take a Minute to fill out this Survey, It should help get things Up & Going again. (Please, be Open & Honest with your intent & Recommendations with this Survey....) Thanks Racers.... (Great News indeed.)

P/M Sent Sir..... Thanks....

Yah, Not Half Bad..... Just might need to "Lower it Down" a Tick.... But that Would Work just fine.... I've Said it Before, And I'll Say Again, & Again, & Again.... Any Way that We can Get Scotty Barber Off of the Dirt and Back Racing at HMP would be the Best Thing that could Happen, Regardless what ever the Racing Class. Scotty was a Pro-Stock Legend that could hold a Candle w/ the Cahoones needed to compete with David Webster or Lynn Hardy jr. in his Own Right. If HMP Opens Back Up, Then Some How or Some Way.... Even in His Nova.... We Need Scotty Barber Back on the Track @ HMP. Scotty is a Very Entertaining & Talented Race Car Driver Indeed. How ever I Could Help Him back on the Track @ HMP..... Then I am All -In..... It would be The Dream of a Life Time to Race Again @ HMP in the "Old Time Class of the Pro-Stock" once again. To Me..... HMP is Not Complete with out the Standard Version of the old time "Pro-Stocks".

Here is a "Perfect" verion of an "Asphalt Factory Stock right here.... Just > Add< a H.D. Stock front Sway Bar, 10" wide race wheels to go with the ( 10" wide F-45 Asphalt Factory Stock legal Pull-Offs), Also Add a Lexan front Windshield, & Plug up all of the Holes & Open areas in the Floor Pan & Fire Wall, and with "In Date" Seat Belts & Window Net, & A Full SFI Fire Suit & SFI Helmet.... And Most Factory Stocks would fit in Nicely with a few Safety & Minor / Simple Modifications to comply with the Asphalt Type Safety Requirements, And We would be good to go More or Less very Simply !!! Bring them on......

Anything ..... in the lower cost type of "Stock Car" concept & that is affordable That would Get HMP Up & Running & Stay Up & Running for Years & Years with Full Stands & Full Pits.... The Racers in this area & The Local Race Fans want that as well. Would be a Win - Win for sure.....

No Worries My Racing Brother.... Simple, Just Bring it to Me & Leave it with Me a while, I'll get it Straightened Out and Have it Looking Sharpe like an "Asphalt Race Car Should...", Very, Very Glad to Help with a Project Like that. Might need to bring Me some fresh front Fenders and fresh Nose cover to start out with.... I'll provide the TLC..... In the Meantime.... We as Racers Need to Support the New Promoter with a Pool of Street Stock Race Cars Ready to go.... And Also Promote the Idea of a Street Stock Class to Included into the New Program..... It's going to take Us to Voice our want to Re-Turn a Pro-Stock Type of Stock Car Class racing again with the New Program. That Former Stock Class was a Fan Favorite & a Racer Favorite Racing Class at HMP for Many Years.... A Stock Car Class is WANTED very Much by us Racers in this Area. I would very much like to race again @ HMP.... But it would only be in a Stock Car V-8 type of racing class. I have a Candidate Type of Street Stock type of Race Car that I have been working on for the past few years, and will be ready soon.... I have been planning on Selling it, But if I could race it here locally ..... Then I would Keep it and Support HMP's Oval Program. Ther are More that a Few of us Local Racers that would Support HMP with a Stock Car type of Class.... An Appeal: RACERS - A STOCK CAR RACING CLASS IS VERY MUCH WANTED..... PLEASE HELP VOICE or CONVEY OUR REQUEST IN THIS MATTER.... Scotty, Try Not to Beat Up the Old Nova any more than it is, If HMP does include a street stock class, they will need cars ready to go so to speak.... But No Problem of getting it Cleaned Up & a little more Aero Dynamic some what better. Thanks for Chiming in Brother. ( Also, I am still holding back those tires for you, Talk to me about tires some time soon, Sir...., other wise I am going to trash them out....)
