metroracer Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) As Member Hi-Tech had Predicted a while back that the New HMP Promoter "Will" bring in the Factory Stocks to compete at HMP sooner or later..... I personally "Scoffed at", "Dreaded", & "Totally Dis-Agree With" that Idea at best... But I am seeing now that HMP is Pursuing that Deal, and is Formally giving a shout out & a welcome For Factory Stocks to come and compete at the next race at HMP September 23.... I don't know if that will be a one off type of race, or to be a Regular racing class there at HMP in the future.... I guess time will tell....

HiTech Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 i was right for a change lol .. when u add owens at your track who runs two dirt tracks it isnt hard to bet against it happening .. that class in one the biggest around .. and we know many many drivers have raced at cc speedway kyle sas .snow ball dirby // and the like ... the class is on slicks .so why not .. being many of us have ran on slicks for years before we went to dirt is a plus against those who only ran those tires on dirt .. when we went to slicks we got some funny looks from drivers who saw us checking tire temps ...... . ... .. i think it would be a fun night for the drivers and the fans .. way to go hmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiTech Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 THE 7 car has not race all season ..the owner has been doing some other things . needed done .. . .but the timing of this race fits right in .. just freshened the motor up today ,first time working on this car sense last season .. .. being old paved racers we are excited for the first time this year to put the car on the track .... .. . jessie and i talked about setting the car up for houston .. i think we have what we need ... least of all it would be fun to burn some rubber see some heat built up on those slicks that helps the tires stick .. heating them up on dirt isnt all that great when dirt is going stick to them .

But I sure would check with Mr. Owen to see if they are going to Allow those 10" F-45 Hoosiers, HMP runs 8" American Racer Asphalt Slicks..... I don't know, But I sure would check that out before I made the Trip. Better to be safe than sorry... Hope info helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyRodriguez Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 forget Souther Premier, HMO Oval is the one to follow on the FB. $800 to fin for the Factory's on the pavement. Load em up, blow up the tires and let 'em fly. This is the stock class we have been looking for . But, read the rules... this isn't bring your paved car, these are dirt track race cars.

They're the same page. SPRS was rebranded HMP Oval so folks wouldn't have to hunt stuff down after Alverson was removed. Hopefully some cars turn out.

arob Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Help me here. Are asphalt pull offs good for dirt and too worn for asphalt generally speaking? Edited September 20, 2023 by arob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are asphalt pull offs good for dirt and too worn for asphalt generally speaking? just luck of the draw on tires rob .. .. . i think the futher south in texas the tires are not as good .. when so many buy them all over the place up north and east . the pic of the best litter does not make down here as much .. we have a set of used tires for houston .. all were ran but some look like maybe end of race or practice ..stagger isnt all that great but it is what it is .. . being its been a while running on paved we do not know how the car will handle there .. these cars were not built for it .. all the flexing off sets and so on shocks and sway bars will put u through the test .. and with so little extra tires we dont have .. ur best hope the car is decent and can adjust it fast with out using up those tires u will need for the feature ,, i dont know how many dirt drivers have raced on paved but i would say the biggest part of them have .. lucky for us we have many many years .. and the driver knows what not to do ..plus he raced there a time or two along time ago .., the car is the unknown //either way we plan to have fun burning those tires up most wont be any good for dirt i bet after . .. . when i built a car for me back in the day it took me two years .. when asked all the time is it a SHOW CAR OR RACECAR... i said no matter what it will look good doing what ever i do with it .. look good sitting there .look good winning . look good wrecking or look good dead last but it will look good ..period .. and we plan on having fun no matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arob Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Thanks for the reply. My concern is those who show up racing with worn out pull offs may make for touchy racing. Have fun but be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun but be careful. wet tracks on slicks make it touchy .. so nothing new for dirt racers ..the problem i am afraid of is losing grip during the later stage of the race .. i do not know that track at all never been there or seen a race there .. jesse has and i wont say it on here but racing that track like u do at another track we know of works great .. i hope the car is a tad lose early and comes on from half way on .. but that race is short and might be having to run hard .. who knows i dont .. i will be doing alot of tire temp readings .

HiTech Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 MISSED the camber setup alittle .and maybe just a tad to low on tire pressure for the feature been awhile setting up for pavement leaned really hard on the right front . car stuck like glue fact to good it put more strain on the motor bogging it down.off the turns three year old motor . ... i needed to free it up just a tad like practice friday when it realy came off the turns with more speed . ..in the track to hard binding up the car sorta speek .. . . reminded me when our dirt track gets tacky on those ten inch tires really loads the cars down . scrubs alot of speed off and u see alot of hot motors during and after the race ..alot of rear bight on that car left side was right on the rules ... rear percent was close. loved the spring set up ...if we make it back for october i will need to work that right front camber issue out .. and give the motor some love .other wise we had a great time brought back a ton of memories cost a few bucks saw some old friends just a blast from the past after nearly 7 years of farm racing ..hope we can get back in october .. .AND it was nice to make a rear gear change aka whole rear end with out muddeling in dirt .. .sorta look clean when we were done ..

Oct 21.. show up quit asking what happens next you have a chance. just to come to listen to you is worth it rod .. tell u dirt trackers it was fun .. used tires were not an issue . we still have three of the tires on the car that can race again ..the right front blistered becuase of two things .. camber and to low tire pressure that was on me .. the track gave us from 3 pm to 9 pm to work the cars in /... u do not have to destroy your car to race that track .. . .we changed springs that most dirt cars have on them already .. . we did not add or take any weight out of the car fact it helped leaving it ..we had no more stagger or less than what we run on dirt . what the average tires come out too .. we took only six . with us .. ... practiced and ran on the same four we sarted out with .. other than the right front as i mentioned we can run the same tires again .no fall off ..
