Be flexible. Be ready to take both of your 2 laps Cars must align for Time Trials as listed above. Drivers must have working scanner on 154.570 at all times on track. Cars missing this qualifying order line may opt to re-align at rear and will receive one timed lap. For time trial purposes only, TPS cars may go on a green track from the track entry road when signaled. After departing pits, cars should gain full speed quickly. All cars will receive green flag first time at S/F line. Cars should exit track as-soon-as possible from Turn #1, drive slowly down road, to TPS scales area. Track Exit Rule: Failure to exit track after one cool off lap (unless instructed) will result in both laps DQed. Drivers must be alert as to whether or not they are impounded for inspection. Do not break out of impound. The Feature Race grid limit for the TPS feature race is 24 cars. The following qualifying rules will be observed: In the event of a clock failure or negative track conditions, a Qualifying re-run may be opted by TPS Officials. If there is a tie in times of best lap, ties will be broken by TPS point standings prior to July 28, then by entry date. For drivers behind the fastest 22, positions 23 & 24 will go to best in TPS points standings prior to this race. If Time Trials not held or not completed, feature race grid is set by point standings, after draw for inversions. An inversion draw will be held to determine if zero or 2 rows are to be inverted at the front of the grid. Per TPS rules, no top-off after time trials. (For TPS cars after the 25 lap Race - 21 lbs or 3 gallons top off). The THR scoreboard and PA announcements regarding TPS performance is not considered official by TPS. TPS @ THR time trial record is 16.828 set by #85 Ja Lane (Ford Focus/2210cc) August 11, 2007. The fastest time bettering the existing TPS record will earn 3 bonus points. Fastest non-record earns 1 point. Disclaimer: The above Texas Pro Sedans next qualifying order list is for the exclusive use of TPS members, officials and sponsors only. The list is composed of those drivers who have paid an entry fee for the September 15th TPS race at Thunder Hill Raceway. The list should not be interpreted to be a list of TPS drivers who will compete on track or even actually arrive at THR. The TPS organization has no way to determine the intent of a paid TPS driver who may or may not travel to THR on the race date.

97car Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 It kept getting hot, am going with much larger jets, will probably have to get bigger radiator as well in the off season. I also need to get gears for THR. Car had a push earlier,but felt better before overheating. The oil looks good yet. I'll adjust the valves and put my 20 lb cap back on and try again.

Hartracn19 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Broken header, 2 primaries just before the collector! Down about 300 rpm's, easy fix. Hey Sergio, from the stands, it looked like you and Lalo were both having some kind of mechanical issues, and seemed slower than normal. Also Mike seemed down on power a bit in the 70. Mike Knotts looked good, and so did John in the 55 bug. Heck - all of the drivers looked like they were having fun... I have got to get off my butt and get my car done...

Hartracn19 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Almost forgot - what a run that little red bug had... If that was his first excursion from dirt to asphalt - I can't wait to see what he does when he is gets used to this track!! Great run, and I see why Randy Larsen was so excited to get him to race in TPS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepsiblue Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Almost forgot - what a run that little red bug had... If that was his first excursion from dirt to asphalt - I can't wait to see what he does when he is gets used to this track!! Great run, and I see why Randy Larsen was so excited to get him to race in TPS!! thanks hart, that "first excursion" taught us "you guys are tough" and we've got some work to do. need a little more rpm, hp, handling and a whole lot more driver. Everyone we met made us feel extremely welcome and i'd like to thank each for their moral and immoral support during the day. "Big" and I met a great bunch of guys. i felt like 55, arms fell off about lap 15. haven't raced dirt since early 05 and i could feel it. gotta hulk up this winter or hire us a younger shoe. not looking forward to 32 laps. how about a competition red about lap 16 for a nap?

NeilTPS Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Bill: The competition red is a new thought. Because of the number of racing classes at THR on September 29th, I don't think I would be successful in requesting a rest break period from Mary Ann. I will mention the possibility of a competition black flag for any rough driving at the driver's meeting. At the last race on September 15, we didn't have any rough driving. I want to keep it that way. Neil Upchurch Race & Administrative Director Texas Pro Sedans PS: The Qualifying Order for September 29 was sent to all TPS members today and will be posted here later.
