NeilTPS Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 To answer the posted questions ......... Oldtimer asked: "why did bobby not start" Bobby Burrows drove his #9 Ford Fusion to the starting grid. The engine shut off and wouldn't start when the field moved out for pace laps. A wrecker pushed him to his trailer position. #9 recorded 0 laps. Maybe Bobby can come on here and explain what was wrong with his engine. "what happend to sergio" During practice Sergio Hexsel's VW GTI was running fast, but holed a piston. He elected to put his car on the trailer. He and Crew Chief Don Dewees then assisted Pete Wright's #77 return to TPS racing in a brand new VW Scirocco. Pete dropped out of the race when he felt he had a deflating tire. He told me he will be at the TPS final 2009 season race at Thunderhill Raceway on October 10. Nathan asked: "penalty for Bobby". Yes, the penalty is worded "#9 penalized from 6th to Feature Race scratch starting position for exceeding left side percentage rule". Regrettably, that is what happened as a result of the post time trial weight inspection. #9 had 6th fastest time, but was positioned at the rear of the Feature Race grid for the technical infraction. Bobby accepted the penalty with understanding and class. Neil Upchurch Race & Administrative Director Texas Pro Sedans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS #9 BB Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Man what a weekend, found the speed I was looking for, It's a strange feeling being in the car thinking dang this car feels slow and then find out its the fastest the car has gone, the car was right. I was so happy with the speed they could have started me a lap back and I wouldn't have cared. I knew I was going to go forward but the shifter locked up and trying to get it out of gear it came off in my hands. So I got to watch the race. congradulations Mike thats how to hold them off, and Tom that was screaming. I just wish I could have run the feature. YEEHAAAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tps48 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I have in-car video for the first 10 laps until the fuel pump quit working. Got some footage of the pits after the race. Also note that the 71 of Mabrito finished the race still running good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
