San Antonio, Texas

 

The Texas Pro Sedans touring series will open their 2005 season with a race at C.C. Motor Speedway on Saturday night, April 9th. The Texas Pro Sedans will be initiating their 30th consecutive season of four cylinder stock car racing at the quarter mile, high banked

Corpus Christi asphalt track.

 

The Texas Pro Sedans event will consist of 2 laps of Qualifying Time Trials, a 10-15 lap,

Last Chance Qualifying Race (if needed) and a 25 Lap Feature Race. The race will be run

under TPS rules and procedures in which yellow flag laps are not scored. A green-white-checkered flag is required to officially finish a TPS race under full racing conditions.

 

Texas Pro Sedans Series Race and Administrative Director, Neil Upchurch has announced

that a pre-entry list of 23 Texas Pro Sedans have so far been received for this event.

 

Included in the race entry list are the two drivers who have won seven TPS Driver

21 cars !!!!! This is going to be a barn burner for sure.Maybe I bit off more than I can chew this time.I know how fast these Pro guys are,especially Lalo at CC who holds the record time that he got breaking a 24 year old record.Add a couple of 7 time champions,Mister Excitment Jamie Gardner,Mr Serious Sergio, the Imfamous Donnie Moore,and a bunch of bad fast other drivers along with some rookies on a really tight super fast track and Bristol will look tame.My goal is to survive and try for a top 5 finish.I am going to run exactly as the car was this weekend.I dont have any special parts and everytime I change the car up a lot to go faster I make it worse.After this race I can change up for the next one maybe.I am going to change tires.I only wish we could invert the entire field and run for 50 laps.Wouldnt that be extra exciting? DONT MISS THIS ONE !!!!!!! THUMPER
