CC_RIDER Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 just getting ready for the racing season in 2006, i was looking over the schedule and im thoroughly dissapointed. 1st off, the first SLM race at SAS isnt till july 8th are you kidding me? thats the best venue for SLM other than CCMS and you gotta wait till july 8th? not to mention only 2 dates and Oktoberfast. 2nd, ive noticed that the trucks arent running with the SLM's either what brought that about? 3rd, from all the rumors (fact) here in CC, none of the CC drivers in TAMS will be running the series this year and alot of assorted others, i dont see how that series will hold up. which i believe has to do with that all involved rule last year, way to go guys. 4th, only 2 dates total for CCMS? and none at HMP? what gives here? looks like im gonna be spending alot of saturday nights at South Texas Speedway, the car counts there are getting larger by the day.

Jason Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I do agree that the trucks sort of got a raw deal not being with the slm. Now the teams with both slm and trucks will have to do twice as much traveling. Oh well. I think it has to do with economics. Fact is it costs more to put on a slm race than the other series. And yea South Texas Speedway does sound like a good choice this year but so do the big shows with ASA and SES coming to Texas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clear Lake Race Fan Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Is it final that USRA will not be at Houston this year? I guessed that the schedules just had not yet been completed, and negotiations were still going on with HMP. It'll be a shame if USRA doesn't race at the nicest short track in TX. With the USRA sponsorship of the HMP limited late models last year, it seemed like cooperation between them was great. Has something gone sour between the two parties?

uhcougs Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Terry D issued a statment on the announcements forum a few weeks ago about this very issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clear Lake Race Fan Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Thanks. I found the post. Pretty much makes me sick! I guess I'd like to hear the other (HMP's) side of the story. Maybe I'll call them. Glad to see Bendele running more of the out of state races. Interesting comments from him in the latest Late Model Digest concerning his 2006 plans. I guess I'll have to travel east more this year to see some decent SLM racing. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vir Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Glad to hear that CLRF. Guess PaPa Oak will get to see more of his girls without driving all the way to Houston. The big SLM shows at FFs and MIS will be running on the same weekends, Friday and Saturday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leland Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Why don,t somebody ask td why the tsrs series is not at sanantonio this year not even invited to the octoberfast, this is an insult to the whole racing comunity, if i were mary ann and H.E, and brian i would play a little hard ball myself, they have been in this racing family for 30 years,all they would have to do is not allow usra to race at thunder hill and have an outlaw slm , trucks, and mods event i don,t think the fans care if they are affilated or not they just want good racing , to shut us out of the sas is not what i call fair play and i,ll bet the 40 or more drivers would feel the same way thanks terry dickerson for coming in and joining the central texas racing comunity, you have shown your true colors. leland waddell..... we will all remember this.

lloyd#5 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Dang i must have missed that race where TSRS had 40+ drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivicic Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 It just felt like 40+ on that first lap full invert race. I still don't see where TTOPA is working. Seems like the tracks are further apart then closer together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 TTOPA TT who? You're right Mark. Looks like cooperation has sort of gone by the wayside. By saying that, I'm not trying to point the finger at any one promotor or owner, because the only ones who know what's gone on in those meetings are the folks who were present.

arts22 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Is TSRS not on the SAS schedule because they havent posted their schedule yet??????? If TSRS is not invited to race at SAS, I dont think the Naumann's would stoop to such a level of not letting the USRA race at THR. They have family and alot of friends that race in the USRA Series. That in itself should show everyone who they are looking after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
