1-Crew Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Oldtimer, Work sent me to the left coast for a few days so I've got not much better to do while sitting in the hotel. BTW, for those that are interested regular unleaded is $3.26/gal here (just north of LA), at this rate it won't be long before we are lining up to buy racing fuel because regular is too danged expensive....

Randy Larsen Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 well can anyone answer my question Are you kidding me.......crt, you think people on this board owe you something,first of all,what difference does it make,that was old technology and a long time ago(from what I understand back when you actually owned and raced a car)Instead of sitting in front of your computer(and playing with your "Days of Thunder"slot car track)and bashing a series that is the longest running in Texas,not to mention one of the best paying classes and best managed I have ever had the privelage of being a member of,why dont you build something to race,"THEN" you might have a small amount of say so as to what you think is fair..........until then I think I would not say anymore,whine anymore,ass-ume anymore,or try to discredit anymore.......GOT-IT!!!!!!...........by the way all Pro Sedan Members,Lets here it for some of the incredible payouts we are about to enjoy and remember that Neil does work very hard to rewrite our race contracts and get them signed so these are guaranteed payouts.........$1000.00 thats incredible!!!!! show me any other four cylinder class getting payed that, twice this year,and to all of our sponsors,...THANK YOU....,ya'll show Neil some thanks for all the time ,effort,and professionalism!!!!!................I will have the #53 Herbie back in the racing soon and will be chasing all of you front runners down.....................Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tps48 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Way to go Randy! I couldn't have said it better myself. I think one of the reasons Pro-Sedans has survived this long (and why I have raced this long) is because Neil is not biased and works hard to keep a level playing field for all kinds of cars to race on. Where else can you find a mix like we have? Thats why guys like us keep coming back. I was racing in prosedans a long time before cRt showed up and i'll be around long after he is gone. We had guys like him a long time ago, they just didn't have the soapbox to stand on like the internet gives us today. Lots of people can talk these days , but few can actually do things.

cRt racing Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 well i see someone buckled under the pressure !!!well randy you do what ever you want i have never told anyone not to run tps . like mike just said that is 1 of the tps cars they are probally gonna lose . and i have heard of at least three others . so they can do whatever they wanna do. but what is the average car count 12 to 14 now. and if you take those 4 off your not going to have much of a class .now there are several cars that run tps that i have built . so even if im not in the drivers seat i still help put cars in the class . and yea 1000 dollars to is a great purse . the biggest i have seen in a 4 cly class. and im sure it will bring a lot of cars out of the wood work . but you have to do something to keep the cars running with you .

Randy Larsen Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Guess what crt,when you go after something I am a part of I have every right to defend it ,seeing as how I am a paid "racing" member of this class,and I actually bring something to it by adding my own money to help when I can with sponsorship,lend myself as a tech man when needed,and helping fix cars and lending my equipment to help other racers...........wow imagine that "helping and trying to make things better"something you dont understand............"hit the pace car",cause you have bashed everything else............Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz1438 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 but what is the average car count 12 to 14 now. and if you take those 4 off your not going to have much of a class . those 4 off that you are probably refering about arent included into those 12-14. i believe those 4 arent showing up on a regularily basis anyways. And as most seasons/series go, cars come and go, so TPS will probably still get the cars coming out to fill the car count. Of course it seems the cars your refering about are the fords, i presume. Wow, wouldnt it be interesting to have all VW's in the TPS next season. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-Crew Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 If I recall, the 91 was Jeff Tindell and it was Irene Wilkey's car before Jeff got it. I worked on the car when Bill had it (for a short time), Bill only drove it once at a practice before selling it but I remember he commented on how much power was there. Before Bill drove it I fixed the carb (it had loose boosters in both primary and secondary), added wedge plates to the rear to get the pinion angle corrected and put a rear panhard bar on it. I don't know if those problems were there when Irene ran it but there was speed left to find in that car and Jeff proved it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL you might get that all front wheel drive class someday . i believe thats the way its heading on purpose .nothing wrong with that. then we will start a all rwd class there is enough cars to do a rwd now on a regular bases but not fwd just yet but close real close .course in the allison cars there is no fwd i wonder why that is .but i would miss some of you fwd drivers .ps dont leave out that honda .

HiTech Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 there was some guys that bought another car from me i raceed in 1989 and part 1990 .it went on to race in waco .as a dirt car ithink they brought it down a few years ago and ran with us .that car used to be the 12 pinto that david won two champion ships at cc .

maz1438 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 you might get that all front wheel drive class someday . i believe thats the way its heading on purpose i dont honestly believe that is the purpose of TPS to just have/want FWD cars. It just kind of surprises myself that with CRT whining about how all the Fords are at a disadvantage, its kind of funny that even with these so-called restrictions, the fords are pretty much still faster than most. Take the #1 and #2 cars, they ran the fastest times at SAS and w/o oil problems on one and silly driving on another, along with several missed races, they should have had several wins already. Then your pinto #7 seems also a top speed car and the #22 had a setback at the beginning, but is now regaining his speed. Understandably, alot of teams have hard times with all there expenses as yourself, but i would hope that these particular Fords are still around and competing due to the fact that they are still faster than most and if push comes to shove, i am more partial to the Fords than the VW's..LOL but what is the average car count 12 to 14 now Since CRT doesnt make the TPS races or read up on them, maybe i can clarify that his statement is incorrect. IF you read up, the average car count this season is 18-19 cars, but i guess he was just trying to state a low count to help his argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
