NickHolt Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 TSRS has made some major changes to their race procedures. From now on yellow flag laps will not be counted. All 75 laps will be run under green flag conditions (or a time limit, whichever comes first). Check out the announcement in the Press Release section. This change should really be positive for the fans and competitors and should make scoring that much easier. It must be really difficult to keep scoring yellow flag laps while you're trying to get the re-alignment correct for a restart. Good job Mary Ann and crew!

ChuckLicata Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Once again, I agree with Nick (wow, twice in one day! ) lol But seriously...this is good news for the series. TSRS provides some great racing and now they're rewarding their fans.. Also..Mary Ann and I have made arrangements that the TSRS winner will be asked to call the show and do a live interview this Sunday.. By the way..who won the TSRS best-appearing crew award in Corpus?

krusty_rusty Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Great job TSRS. Chuck I think the #50 car was voted best looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Chuck, It was the Poly Dyn Performance Coatings, Lonestar Car and Dog Wash, DC Eagle Paint and Body, and JK Engine sponsored #50 Monty Carlo of Houston's 38 year old Mike Yale (or Mike Hale as he has been known to be called ). I am sure that Mike's crew, Dave Szostek, Scott Keleher, Buddy Bukas, and Joe Nalbackski, not to mention his wife Karen, are thrilled with the award! They sure had that Dillon chasis looking sharp! I have never been able to use all the info I have on a driver before on the web. I just had to do! Can't wait for the races on Saturday! Is it show time yet? Bill "Sarge" Masom Hardest working race announcer in Texas! Have microphone, will travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The_Greek Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 great news, and a great idea that TSRS changed their rules, i just wonder what the time limit rule is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdaddy Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Speaking of time limits. There is a track in Winston-Salem NC called Bowman Gray. It is a old race track that has a time limit I suspect was imposed by the city since it is close to the downtown area. No matter where they are in the nights show (if I remember correctly the cut-off time was 10:30 or 11:00 ) when thr buzzer went off the checkered flag would drop. I had seen several races decided within the first 5 laps. It was something to see 20 or so cars trying to win on the first lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-Crew Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 A curfew is not that unusual, I remember San Jose Speedway (California) doing the same thing back in 1992. It would not be a bad thing to think about for all the classes, if you have a specified time slot for the feature series (ROMCO, ARTS, ETC.) then to make sure they start on time you need to have a fixed time slot for the regular classes as well. I'll tell you this, they don't take much time to sort out a yellow when there is a time limit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
