HORSEPOWER Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 What did you guys and gals think of the racing last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 It was certainly one of the most competitive SLM races @ SAS in a while. Four different leaders, pit stops/strategy, race undecided until the final 25 laps.........What more could one ask for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I think the pit stops for right side tires added a lot to the race. The racing up front was some of the best we've seen in a while. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASPEEDRACER24 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Question to the peanut gallery? Im sure Txtom has the answer to this..... When was the last time in a TIDA/ROMCO/USRA race that the leader was passed on the outside? To me it was awesome watching Tommy and Brandon battle it out those last 70-80 laps but like it was said above there was easily 5 cars that under the right circumstances could have won this race... Props to JC Umshied as well working his tail off and leading the start of the race and also to Chris Davidson who for a moment there was probrobly giving Terry heart palpations (sp) when he got the lead after the second yellow...

SASPEEDRACER24 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 From what I was told he lost a cylinderand it just got progressively worse...I could hear something odd about 5 laps prior to Brandon passing him but couldnt tell which car it was coming from.

NickHolt Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 what happened to the selley driver i didnt see that Brent Seeley ended up in the front straight wall on lap 99 after a strong run. I didn't see what started it, but after the race I talked to Brent for a while and according to him, he and Tuffy Hudson made contact coming off turn four and he ended up in the grandstand wall. Perhaps someone who actually saw what happened can add some details. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Anyone know what happened to Tommy's(#13) motor? According to Tommy and Denny Burton, the crew chief on the car, the engine probably lost a valve. They expect to find a hole in the top of a pistion when they have a look inside.

KISS_Racing Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Thanks Marc and Nick... We heard it start to bang, but couldn't tell... Then the smoke started coming out in the middle of the turns... Congrats to Tommy again for the great race and to Brandon on the Win..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
