RodneyRodriguez Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 has anybody heard what the plan may be for THR next season? Racing twice a month for locals etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrungot Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I believe in the drivers meeting they said they are planning it right now.. and it will be around the same schedule as this year... 12 races.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tqj3 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Then I assume this season was quite successful for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I think it also mentioned that they would try to include a couple more races than what they had in 06 and maybe one or two more at HMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyRodriguez Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 sounds good, how about tentative rule changes? hopefully the classes remain the same? except maybe call the street stocks super stocks instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kn1ghtblade Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 As for THR I hope they will change the Hobby Stock rule to allow 108" wheel base like SAS Road Runners that way I can come up there and run in the correct class, since if they dont I will have to run with the SS cars and get my A** handed to me...

kn1ghtblade Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 True, but not as bad as running up against a SS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonesome Ford Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 We'd have 2-3 cars there next season if they allowed the 108" cars to run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SASPEEDRACER24 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 No because you were running SAS rules... You would have had to change the intake to take advantage of the THR rules... Had you been able to run the THR rules you wouldnt have had to change springs to get the car to go up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigfat Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I didn't think so either Marc but as Shawn said I think I could have. I can't find any rules about it. Can anyone give me a heads up on were to find them? Not to run all THR rules but allowed the 500 due to other motor shortfalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie49 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 a thr hobby will handle an sas roadrunner fairly handily with the present rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigfat Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 a thr hobby will handle an sas roadrunner fairly handily with the present rules It didn't seem that way for the first 7 or 8 laps of the race. With the handling a little better or an experienced driver in my car or both. I'm pretty confident that a SAS Road Runner (hate that name) wouldn't be handled handily.

abrungot Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Jody, My understand for the Hobby race was you were to run under THR rules or SAS Rules.. No Hybrid's... So if the 500 was allowed under SAS rules you could have run it if it wasn't.. you would have to convert over to THR Hobby rules.. Think theres a few differences.. particular to swaybar mount/Springs, Intake/Vac.. deals.. and so on.. Your car seemed pretty competitive.. but agree your having to increase spring rate on both sides to raise the car sucked!! As for Keep them even.. 108" i believe would have to remain Stock 4 link with Stock Metric Spindles/Arms for sure... just to start.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigfat Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Aaron, That's the way I took it. I heard several people say it would have been allowed. Is there any rules posted anywhere for SAS cars that raced there? I do know it's not allowed under SAS rules. That being said. 500s were allowed for the SAS cars @ OktoberFast. So I don't know and it seems there's nothing in stone/screen/paper. I don't think the spring change hurt me near as bad as the brain fart. What ever happened to weight penalties? Too much interpretation of what's fair??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASPEEDRACER24 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Aaron After the race Jody said that it seemed to acually handle better with the stiffer springs in the car so who knows... As for the particular rules I just went by what was posted on each classes rule books... On a side note... If I can find me a car and the sched works out I might be up there in a Grand Stock next year when SAS isnt running ... Gotta find me a 79 Caprice first...

kn1ghtblade Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I know one advantage is the THR cars can run different spring rates from side to side where as the SAS cars cannot.. I havent looked at the rules close enough yet to know what all other differences there are, but at a glance it didnt look too much different ecept the big one the wheel base.... I know from talking to people the THR's have an engine advantage, that is if I heard them right, but if just changing the intake and carb to be competive, thats not too too bad and can be done pretty easily.....

fast18 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Kn1ghtblade I was just messing with you. Jody you looked very competitive....I'd like to see the SAS RR's able to come up on off nights and run their 108" cars. Also I don't feel THR has to change their wheel base rule on the Hobbies to let them....JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kn1ghtblade Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 It would be cool if THR just let us run our rules against their HS class on our nights off without haveing to change anything... I mean seriously with our rules package we will be at a slight disadvantage anyway, and I would really only be racing up there so I can get as much seat time as possible without haveing to rent the track for practice on our off weekends... I dont have that type of cash to rent the track so racing up there at THR is only way to get the extra seat time and being a rookie I will need as much as that as I can get....

ProTree Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 you could just cut off your computer on thursday afternoons around 3 or 4pm and drive down to open practice and you don't have to rent the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
