jamie37 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Just wondering if it is raining down in Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemdk Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 weather this morning is cloudy but no rain. Got some early last night but 30 miles north of the track the clouds look to be thining. I do know that the Baker's will do everything in their power to get a race off.

tqj3 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Talked to Mary Ann about 30 minutes ago. They have 17 TSRS cars on hand and were just starting the second practice. Top five in first practice: C. Schilds, Joe Aramendia, Robert Barker, Gary Chancellor and Larry Bendele. Weather is Houston muggy. It could rain, but allow time for the track to dry; it could pour buckets; or it could just "look like rain" until Monday. Right now, it's a go, and they will finish tomorrow if they don't get the race in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tqj3 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Texas Super Racing Series report from Houston Motorsports Park. As Mary Ann said earlier today, there are 17 good cars at Houston for the TSRS “Popa New 75.” Fastest qualifier was the #79 of Joe Aramendia with the #17 of Robert Barker second and the #3 of Bobby Joe New in third. Chris Schild in the #7 and Leland Waddell in the #28 elected to pull out of impound to work on the cars and will start scratch on the field. Brian Moczygemba broke a motor in practice, but the crew was able to get it changed before qualifying. He was fifth quick and will start sixth after the draw. Grid order after top six draw: 1. #17 Robert Barker 2. #2 Bobby Teer, Jr. 3. #3 Bobby Joe New 4. #79 Joe Aramendia 5. #44 Gary Chancellor II 6. #50 Brian Moczygemba 7. #38 Craig Sellman 8. #13 Ian Webster 9. #11s Brian Schild 10. #12 Adam Haugh 11. #5 Bill Hamilton 12. #23b Larry Bendele 13. # 71 Deed Dupont 14. #22 Shane Harris 15. #6 Jason Hollander 16. #7 Chris Schild 17. #28 Leland Waddell H. E. Naumann said the race will probably get under way about 8:30 pm. We’ll have updates as we get them. That looks like a fun grid order… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Thanks, TQ, for posting updates. I had to miss the HMP race this weekend, so it's great that you're keeping us updated on TSZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debwill Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I just got a call from my bunch in Houston. They were able to get some races completed - including the TSRS and Pro Modifieds. Now it's pouring down rain, and it looks like they may have to reschedule the Pro Late Model Race (possibly tomorrow?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfat Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 by the looks of the starting grid combined with their finishing positions, looks like the 50 and 44 got together??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tqj3 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Maybe, but according to the info so far, Brian made 31 laps, Gary only 11, so it could have been mechanival. Moczygemba had already lunched one engine in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivicic Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 44 and the 50 did not get together. Gary got into trouble in the first few laps and was involved in a second spin with 3 others (not the 50) and it got his radiator. The 50 just slowed on the front straight.

I like Gary and sometimes I like B. I especially like B, when I'm taking his money at the poker table....... Tough luck after the win Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
