NeilTPS Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Mike: You wrote, "i take it you will try and work something out for motels" .. Yes, we are working on a discount motel deal. Your drivers were notified about that by e-mail yesterday, which is how much time has passed since the contract was signed. Glad to hear your drivers are going to enter. We need to hear that from several TPS drivers.

zoom Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I have driven from Amarillo to Wichita Falls plenty of times. But never from San Antonio to Wichita Falls. Which is the better/faster/easier way to pull a car and trailer? I37 through Ft. Worth or up 281? How many miles is it and how long will it take to haul if the top speed we pull at is, say 68 mph? For those TPS members that are going to these races, what day and time are you leaving and do you want to meet up and caravan there. Just in case something happens with a trailer or hauler I was thinking of leaving around 6am saturday morning. Also, for charger, can we camp in the pits after the races and leave on sunday am? I was thinking of pitching a tent. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Pinson Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 When i traveled to Kyle it takes me 5 1/2 hours from WF to the track. So that can give you an idea. I don't know how far it is from Kyle to San Antonio. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I was in Austin early Tuesday morning and had to leave back to Wichita Falls from 183 in Austin to the track is exactly 350 miles. I also wanted to answer the camping question. There is no problem with that bring your tent , camper whatever you need. We look forward to having you guys up. If it will help and you want to use map quest. The adress is 1633 FM 369 North Wichita Falls , Texas 76308 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tps48 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I have driven to WF both ways, and I will leave SA between 8 am and 9 am on Sat morning. I'm telling Bruce we are leaving between 7-8. I like I-35 better. Sat. traffic thru Austin is the only slowdown. 281 has too many slow sections, stop lites, and antique stores (Charysse cant pass any without wanting to stop.) We will spend the night and head home Sun am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilTPS Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Mike: A quote from the Texas Pro Sedans rule book. "A fire extinguisher (utility or central) must be easily reached by driver, firmly secured, shall be easily used, have a minimum capacity of 2 lbs and have a charge reading gauge. A minimum 10 lbs pit/trailer extinguisher is required". That should cover the safety situation while cooking in the pits. Also - Any North Texas 4 cylinder sedan driver who wished to file entry for the March 29 Texas Pro Sedans race at Red River Speedway should contact me asap. I need to know about your car.
