uhcougs Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Man I have to tell you 21 STREET STOCKS (including Houston Hobby Stocks) took the green flag, with only 1 caution on the start, for 35 laps! Heck of a race! It was pretty exciting looking down into turn 4 when they came out of there to take the green flag! TSRS had a great race as well!

Budman Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Question for the THR street drivers that ran at HMP .................. With HMP being a symmetrical oval and THR being an asymmetrical oval of the same length, describe the differences in running the two tracks. I think we would all be interested in your responses.

Budman Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Top three S/S's, I think ................... 31, 1, 3. Top three TSRS, I think ................... 49, 25, 5 Unofficial, of course. Oophs, sorry about the typo. Edited to fix. It's 31, not 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast18 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I had a blast !!! Even though I couldn't find the reason my car was bangin' out it was more than worth the trip. As far as differences in THR and HMP...HMP is an easier track to adjust to and race on. After the restart it was 35 laps of intense fun. I would also like to say congrats to Robert ...hell of a race. Teresa ...great race !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck99 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 HMP is an easier track to adjust to and race on. I'm glad somebody thinks so. That track gave me fits. We had a blast, though, even in spite of chasing motor gremlins and a tight race car all day. We were very happy with a 4th place finish considering the day we had. HMP is an awesome facility! Congrats to David Webster and Robert Walton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Rusty, I'm not that naive. If it was as you say, anybody could do it well. Now, if you wanted it stuck in the fence off of turn 4, well ........................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hats off to all !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 UHCougs, I noted the enthusiasm in your post describing the street stock race with 21 cars starting. Just as a historical note I thought I'd relate mine, at the start of the SLM race at HMP at the spring race in 2003. I found myself sitting in the stands with Pat Mayberry and James Coursey, Sr. Imagine our enthusiasm, as 36 SLMs were about to take the green. On the pace lap, I looked at Pat and he looked at me. I said to him "Ain't no way their going to make it through turn 1." We both chuckled nerviously, and turned to watch them come out of 4 to take the green flag. What an awesome race that was. Doug Hooks won it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ann Naumann Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Just a quick note to thank each of you that were able to be there, what a great show you guys and gals put on! The professionalism from the time you took to the track, from testing to qualifying to running those exciting 35 laps! That was a fun weekend and what about that Baker family & staff working so hard to get the track dried and race ready after all that rain!?! Those Houston HS drivers were a pleasure to race with, great participation. Again, thank you all, can't tell you how great it was to see that many cars on the pit road qualifying, thank you for making me proud! So sorry for Donnie & Chris! Chris, his crew and many others worked so hard to try to make it after breaking during testing. This race was a seed planted by the Meredith's, great family and great idea! Great to have the #12 there in honor of our dear friend, Robert Reyes, thank you Charles Buxton for helping to keep his memory with us! THANK YOU ALL!

Congrats to David for the win and Robert in TSRS. And Teresa Gural for a great 2nd place finish. We were so happy for you guys! It was great to see the THR Street stocks lined up in the pits. Sure made it exciting and fun. Hopefully next time a few more could make the trip to Houston. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junior Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Thanks to Marryann and crew for providing the chance for the SS to run at a facility like HMP. every one I talked to was thrilled at how smoothly the event took place even with mother nature getting involved. You are the Pied Piper of racing, the driver will follow where ever you go. Thanks to the Bakers in their support. Junior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast18 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Chase ...after a little thought I may not have been able to adjust to the track that well if my car was up to speed. Kinda like drivin' with only 7 cylinders. Mary Ann I would like to thank you and the Bakers for giving us this opportunity. I also would like to thank Charles Buxton for helping us out when I ran out of gas a few miles from the track (when the gauge says 1/8 it really means empty ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
