NeilTPS Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 maz1438 - I don't know about a rumor (true or false) about #27 - Bill LaBarge racing at THR on May 27th. What I do know for a fact is that neither he or any other driver has yet to file an entry for the #27 BMW with the TPS Office. The full and Official TPS entry list for May 27 at THR is available on - www.TexasProSedans.com Neil Upchurch Race & Administrative Director Texas Pro Sedans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cRt racing Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 you know this series has done more to drive fords away that any track or group . and the reason i posted it here is because this is where the next race is at and why would i wanna build a ford for tps ok sure the rules this year do make then more competative , but since the years of randy lee and leroy farmer they have done nothing but punish the fords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 and i have found a body shop that has a 2005 mustang behind his shop that im trying to get off him to build. but i wont run it with the tps seriers You're probably reading a different TPS rule book than I am, but if I were building a TPS car I'd opt for a RWD Mustang/Pinto 2338 or an air cooled VW. If it were the Ford, I'd go for the stock steel head and OEM chassis package to get all the weight breaks. A good machine shop can get all the HP out of that stock head that you need at all the local tracks except maybe San Antonio. And I'd lighten the heck out of the stock frame and reposition the suspension pieces to get the front suspension specs right. After that, it's just a matter of playing springs and shocks and learning how to wave to the crowd in victory circle. But if you really study the TPS rules, the first guy that gets an air-cooled VW to handle is going to kick TPS butt. And now that you can run coil overs in the air cooled VWs, it's just a matter of time. Those two packages have the distinct edge in the rules department whether you agree or not.

cRt racing Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 nick the 2005 or 2006 mustang has the same suspension as the older mustangs i just wanna build a newer mustang for the looks i know they dont come with a 2300 in them but almost everyone lets it go ford to ford a 2300 will just slide right in no major changes and nick i just cannt see the fords beating donnie with a cast iron head i had a head that was cut to the max we got it from david evans it was ported and polished flowed bench in calf. david was turning low 14 at cc with the head but it wasnt as strong as the alum head on lalo's car steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiTech Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 cant remember when a cast .head has won in tps not knocking it just all the wins have been alum heads in the last few years there is some fast cars still with cast but you cant hardly beat a alum head they are lighter they flow like no cast could .. the heads that 12 21 are good heads .but with out the roller cams they would not run as good .

Then you would have the best of both worlds, a ford with vw motor. And it wouldnt be a blasted fwd lol. Neon Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AARC67 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 This is more of a racing history topic than it is a prediction(lol).I learned a little bit from all of yalls post,and thanks for it. But lets not dwell on the past.Instead , lets get more cars on the track.We should be driven by someone elses success,and not discouraged.Let it motivate you to supercede your opponents accomplishments,and the benefits will be sweeter.
