Ford27 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I count 26 LM that have raced in texas and only 5 or 6 have raced both SAS and CTS. I know a couple dont have crates and I think maybe some weight issues, but it's always best to here it from the cars directly. So what is the late model concerns? Is it rules or cost or too scary or what? Maybe someone could take the lead( who has a late model) and ask all the car owners what the deal is and pass it along to chris. He seems like a pretty smart and resonable guy, maybe yall can figure out something. trucks an mods seems consistant with CTS so Im guessing the majority of them are from HMP area and not everyone likes or can travel. Heck I never like to go an hour and 15 to kyle. (hmmm I'll drive the race car till she runs out of gas but drive the hauler over 30 min...forget about it...go figure) Also unfortunatly I have heard of at least 4 cars that are being built but now guys are wondering if they should stop. I say dont stop. If we continue to put cars on the track it makes it stronger. If we all stop to wait and see what happens it just goes bad from there. I wasnt sure SAS would be more than one race so I wouldnt put any money to change it over to the right gear and blew my motor which set me out these last 2 races. If I would have been confident it was gonna be here this year I would have changed gears and probably made the last 2 races. I also know of 1 wanting to buy a car that has decided to wait. Buy the car, build the car, fix the car. Let's put em on the track. It will be here next year if we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a pretty smart and resonable guy, maybe yall can figure out something. My car was not ready for the first race of the season (no motor). I was there for the rain out but could not make it back for the reschedule. Found several unexpected problems with it after the preceding CTS race. Just ran out of time and $$$ to get it ready. I couldnt see going to SAS (much faster track than CTS) and risk wadding it up. But I plan on making the next one. As for Chris, I have gone to him several times about potential tech issues and he has ALWAYS worked something out with me so I can race. No complaints here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackflag18 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Has anyone tested a true nascar late model (not tsrs car) at track since it reopened? Maybe victor jr instead of that 2101 and 4 barrel might help. I know of 3 just sitting in one garage right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyRodriguez Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I must agree if there is a question.. hit www.sa-speedway.com and ask Chris what needs to be done to get you on the track. You won't have to rebuild to come race. There is a true effort between all the race tracks to make it possible to race in multiple places. We've wanted this for a long time. Send an e mail or make a call and figure out how we can get you on the race track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hray Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Brad, We have a ProMod - that's the good news. The bad news - it's not raceable. Just got it back from Swenson for updates, and the motor is at Derry's being built (sold the crate and going to built motor). To top it all off, Jason is working 60 - 70 hrs/wk, so the last thing on his mind is racing. Rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer26 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I won't be there but my car will. I heard you broke a finger nail golfing so your setting out the rest of the season and have a fill in driver. At least thats what I read on TMZ's website.

hippyracer00 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Where the hell are all these guys that said if SAS opened, they would be there? Damn keyboard racers. Im one of the guys who said I would be there. But before u label someone a keyboard racer, maybe you should consider, "life" happens. I've personally been hit with over $12000 dollars in medical bills im trying to recover from. As well as loved ones being diagnosed with cancer. Im sure others have there own reasons for not making it. I've gone to every race since s.a.s has reopened and spent more than $100 everytime as well as help what drivers I could with what I could. So I do support the track. Am currently working on my streetstock to make it out as soon as I can afford it. Untill then I dont care if it pisses off the president, I refuse to let down my family to make someone I dont know happy. Just saying. Dont be so quick to judge.

At least thats what I read on TMZ's website. When I race people say I should take up something else like golf, but when I golf people tell me I should take up racing, I guess I'm no good at either.

Keep in mind the people at the golf course haven't seen you race in so long that they have forgotten or they had on beer goggles. There's always something else you could try like Tennis. I've got a brand new ping pong racket given to me by a fill in driver if you need to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
