Guest texracer Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Just wondering if the Bakers could give some track time Friday, most people cant take off Thursday for practice and Friday for the race. Please take this into consideration and try to fit us in there for a couple of short practices on Friday. For people who cant come Thursday, showing up Friday for qualifying, and then racing,may not be such a good idea. Could someone please relay this to the Bakers. I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same way? If so post a comment, maybe we will get some practice time on Friday, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp17 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 We have the same delimma. I spoke with Graham about it a couple weeks ago and he said that there would be significant track time available for both llm and mods on Friday. You may want to give him a call at (281) 458-1972 for specifics. jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGural Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Is there a schedule posted for the race yet? We were wondering when TSRS practice would be, so we can work out our schedule/trip too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp17 Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I haven't seen one yet except for the open practice on Thursday. I'll see if I can get in touch with Graham tomorrow and let you know. jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowflag Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I was just wondering because the Nascar boys said no practice and HMS said they do, if I show up, will there still be something to watch during the day, or should I stay at work? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGural Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Is there confirmed practice time for TSRS on Friday, yet? If so, when? We're like texracer...Driver/Crew struggling to take off work Thursday, especially at such short notice. We didn't find out until this post started Staturday, that the only scheduled practice we have is Thursday, and we have to pay $100 to practice. Is there anyone else in this same situation?
