Llamadog Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Just wondering how many of you Texans will be coming to the Snowball Derby in Dec. I know the Davidson's, T Wade Welch, and Bubba Naumann will be there. I come out to see races at Houston with my son, so I have met several of you all. Would like to see as many of you as possible enter, especially Bandele, Hooks, and Chruminski (sp?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FryarFan Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Not racing, but will be there to watch it... Will get to Pcola late Fri night. Anybody else going this year?? If you haven't seen a Derby....there is just something magical about racing in Pcola the first of December. Hope Freddie Q. can finally get him one this year.

Guest Justaracefan Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I just read on www.51sportsracing.com that SPEED Channel will air the derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tqj3 Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Read it again. It says that the Speed51.com web site will provide coverage of the Snowball Derby, not Speedtv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Justaracefan Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I went back and read again and this is what I see: In addition to the extensive behind-the-scenes coverage from the 51 team, Bob Dillner will also be covering the events for SPEED channel. The television camera will be at Five Flags Speedway to capture qualifying, the Snowflake 100 on Saturday night and the grand finale on Sunday afternoon, the Snowball Derby. Dillner will also conduct interviews with the winners of each of those races and it will be seen on SPEED channel’s “SPEED NEWS” program on Sunday, December 7th and December 14th at 7:00 pm (EST) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Bob Dilner covered the Derby for Speed Channel last year, and "Speed News" gave it about 5 minutes of basically results coverage. As for a taped replay of it on any channel, don't look for it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonestar88 Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 TxTom, If we can't be there ( which I cant ) then can we get a update of some kind from ya?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Unfortunately, I ain't going, either..........I may use up Bandit's and SS44's cel phone batteries asking how it's going out there. BTW--Noticed they finally posted the purse, $20,000 to win, $1250 to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Justaracefan Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 I just looked at pictures on 51sports of Cywinski and Casey Smith's Cars the bodies on both look pretty tricked up but they are Awesome looking - does the Snowball have templates like Romco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 They say they are using templates. Casey's is a Lighting Light and the other cars looks like a 2003 ARP with a little work, but it's hard to be sure by the picture. Both are ROMCO legal.

WildRacer5 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 what is the difference between the Snowball and Snowflake races? Is it just the distance or differnet kinds of cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegend96 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 At the end of practice Thursday Chris Davidson was the fastest Texan running times in the neighborhood of 17.40's Greg Davidson had engine problems and his crew swapped engines. Bobby Gill jumped off of the trailer running 17.20's..... From the info I got this should be the fastest time run so far. Still more practice this morning and qualifying starts at 6:00pmET. As I get more information on the phone, I will post it on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegend96 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Please if someone could list all of the Texas drivers that they know of attending the Snowball derby. Current List Greg Davidson Chris Davidson Mark Chrudimski Casey Smith Bubba Nauman T. Wade Welch H.E. Nauman "Big" John Silverthorne Add any Texas drivers to this list. I will be giving this list to my dad there in Pcola and he will be on the look out to gather as much information as he can on our fellow Texans. I will continue to edit this list for each driver.

TheLegend96 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 T. Wade Welch and the #57 (not sure who that is) car got together in practice this morning on one of the straightaways. Looks like most of the damage was done to the rear end of the car and the rear axle. He was able to drive it off of the track. Supposedly he has a second car there.

Wade Welch 17.443 Casey Smith 17.565 Bubba Nauman 17.568 Greg Davidson chose to withdraw from the Snowball and concentrate on the Snow Flake. No details were available Fastest time was 17.013 only 4 cars were below 17.250 The official starting positions have not been posted as of this time. On the others we either didn't get times or they are running in the Snow Flake race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 TheLegend96, Thanks for the great updates! Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tqj3 Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 The 51sports site is reporting that Dave Mader III is on the pole, and that Casey Smith, among others, didn't make the top 30. Since Legend96 reported that Bubba Naumann was just a tick behind Casey, it looks as if he didn't make top-30 either, and both of the Austin boys will be in the last chance race.
