Randy Larsen Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I will have my helmet and fire suit on the 28th,so anyone needing a driver ......................I was also wondering if any of the other drivers besides the #55 were having any trouble with a lack of fuel within their fuel containment system,resulting in a lack of combustion!!!!! .....................Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97car Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I think Randy needs to adjust the gas pedals on the bugs so them boys can get full travel of the pedal,and feed them a little better so they will be heavier like the rest of us and easily be able to get left side weight when in the driver seat.

Mark Pinson Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I had a great time racing with the TPS Saturday night. I appreciate everyone's help. Lalo thanks for the food. Is there any probation penalty's going to be handed out for rough driving. In the drivers meeting it was said that rough driving would not be tolerated and there was some serious rough driving happening. Thanks for a fun night of racing even though i blew up. Can't wait to see you guy's next time. Mark Pinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilTPS Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Mark: Check the official results which were e-mailed to you and all TPS members early Sunday am. If you have a question, call me.

zoom Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 We sure had a great time saturday. It was great meeting a bunch more of the TPS drivers and crew. The only bad part of the whole day was that cotton pickin energy sapping humidity. Boy did it drain me. Took all day Sunday to recover. I didn't make it over to sample some of Lalo's BBQ. I think Hopsing would have gotten upset if I didn't eat his burger. I would like to request if anyone knows of a old chevy chevette sitting around with some front a-arms, steering knuckles, hubs, etc, and a rack and pinion please give me a PM. Good luck everyone in preparing for the next race. Hope to see you in 2 weeks. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see you guy's next time. Mark Pinson Mark, You raise a legitimate question about the rough driving. Issues such as this have been discussed on TXSZ since the beginning and I can see no valid reason for this topic to be off-limits. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
