SASPEEDRACER24 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I dont remember when it was last year but I remember a few posts about alot of glass being close to the racing surface. From what I remember there were quite a few people concerned with cut tires. I think Jason can give more info... I think it might have been ROMCO event that they had this prob.

DVeit Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Yes last year there was a big glass prob there was a few ROMCO drivers that I know of that had a tire cut down from glass. I think also it was Joey Heinaman that told me when they pulled into pits the had a chunk of glass in their tire. So yes their was a glass prob lol.

racin4fun Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Is the glass problem from the trucks crushing the cars in the infield? Do they not make them take out the glass in the cars? That could be a problem. There would be no way to get all the glass out of the infield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Didn't the problem start the year before last and carried on into last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shrimp Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 first of all there was no monster truck racing last year. the problem was the year before. the cars for the monster trucks were real close to the track that year, that wasn't the case this weekend. i didn't see any glass in any of the cars friday night.

SASPEEDRACER24 Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I kinda figured that Owen would do a good job of making sure that glass wouldnt be out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mary Ann Naumann Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 What an outstanding show! Owen and his staff are doing a great job of making sure the Corpus Christi race fans are entertained. We saw it when TAMS big show was there and again last night. Not a seat to be had, unless you went over to the other side that they HAD to open, LOL, what a Track Promoter or Owners dream. Great job, we all with the Texas Super Racing Series are looking forward to this Saturday! If your a race fan, let me tell you, these guys & gals like to see you enjoying yourself. Again, great job Owen & your staff, what a fun evening. Doc, great job on your choice of leadership! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racin4fun Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I hear that the show was great but, I have heard from many that there has to be glass in the infield and no dirt was brought in, they dug the infield out. Aslo heard the track itself i messed up. I do know how bad, I heard it was mostly in turn 4. Does anyone know anything about that. Are we going to end up with flat tires?? How bad is the track??

Owen Pittman Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 The track and the infield are back to normal minus a little grass. We have worked hard to make sure no glass, parts, or pieces of anything are left on the track in the infield or anywhere else that would effect the racing. Thanks for the comments. Â Good luck to all the TSRS teams this weekend, I hope we can make it a great show. Â Remember Practice Friday: $20.00 for driver and $5.00 for crew members.

racingmom Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 In 2002 Romco had alot of problems with flats, not just from the racing surface but during practice you had to go to the infield before exiting the track. So if you just went out for a couple of laps to scuff a new set of tires you either had to stay out the entire time or go to the infield, I think we had several flats that afternoon. Hope every thing goes well for all racers this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ1796 Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 so was there actual damage to the racing surface? Hopefully not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Pittman Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 No, there was no damage to the racing surface. Not sure where this comes from but the track is fast and ready. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
