abrungot Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Are there any other cars coming up for the big races at THR next weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 CC has a points race, but SAS is off. I just hope any new car coming will take advantage of the Friday practice time. THR is a different beast. I hear "Rita" might show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrungot Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Chase, I hear you about a different beast.. I ran all 3 practices full 15 mins and the heat and feature and still don't have it down... If I can break away from work I plan on trying to make the friday practice myself!!!

Mona Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I had asked back on an earlier thread about running my roadrunner at THR. The response I got was the rules would be worked out and posted soon. I have yet to see them. I would not mind coming, if I don't have to change a bunch of things on my car as it sits.

crackerracer Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 If you have much of a drive, I would sit this one out. Too many races for one night of racing. It will be going on until 2 or 3 in the morning. If they would guarantee the races to be at a certain time,k it may be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrungot Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Mona, I just called Brain C. and he will talk to jack and call me back... so give me a few hours to repost.. Cracker... Hate to say this.. but I believe your wrong... We had a huge spectacular last year too... and i think it was right around midnight when all racing was complete... and we didn't start as early...

Last year we had about the same show for the Spectacular and were 100% done either a little before or a little after midnight. Not sure where you're coming from, crackerracer, but if you miss this race you're probably missing one of the best shows of the season.

abrungot Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Time trials start at 4pm.. Most if not all classes will time in.... so features will start about 6:30pm.. that is about 1.5 to 2 hours earlier than usual.. and yes.. this is going to be some GREAT racing!!

racingmom Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I hope that the stands open earlier than 5:30 since qualifing starts at 4:00. I would like to go earlier and watch practice, but do not want to go to the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrungot Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I just got off the phone with Jack S. and here is what he told me about the SAS cars coming up. Reminder this is still a points races for THR. Any SAS road runner car equal to or greater than 112" Wheelbase would be a hobby stock. For this Min Weight is 3400 lbs and they can run the 8" 970's. Any SAS Road runner car less than 112" Wheelbase would be a Street stock. For this Min Weight is 3300 lbs and they can run the 8" 970's. All other SAS rules would stand as is..

Truck99 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Aaron, did you guys talk about the SAS sportsman cars? If memory serves me right, he was going to require them to also run the 970 tires last year or maybe the 350cfm carb. I don't remember which.

GregGurley Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Grandstands will open at 4:00pm on Saturday so you will not miss any of the time trials. Grandstand admission is $20 for adults and $8 for children 6-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tqj3 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Greg- With time trials starting at 4:00 pm, it might be good to open gates a bit earlier than 4:00, as people will still be coming in, Rita willing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregGurley Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I'll pass that on to the powers that be. By the way Rita is not invited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck38 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I'll pass that on to the powers that be. By the way Rita is not invited. This morning they updated the path to turn more nothward maybe we'll get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) Let me get this straight, since I am 108 inch wheelbase, I will run with the street stock. Does this mean that I will follow SAS sportsman rules, or roadrunner rules? I'm asking because, roadrunners have racing springs that are same weight side to side. Sportsman can be different weight side to side. I run auto transmission with roadrunner. I don't know that it would be beneficial to run with the street stock, other than seat time and getting in the way. I don't have the performance that the street stock/sportsman have. I would also have to buy at least 4 new wheels and tires. I have to think this one over. Thanks for checking into the issue. I will go watch if I decide not to run. Aaron, if you need help with the kids club that night, let me know. I would like to get my feet wet before taking on the full task next season at SAS, (if allowed to have it.)

thrss1 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 i say let roadrinners run with hobby. do i get a second from any other THR street stock drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast18 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I'll second that ...It would be more fair to them. Other than wheel base they are more like our hobby stocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast18 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Mona, Greg was needing an extra infield official. I would help him but I am already working for TSRS and racing my street stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrungot Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) Ok guys/ladies.. first I am only the messenger. Maybe Greg can line up with Jack and see what they can do about the Road Runners.. And Chase.. yes Sportsman must run the 970 tire..

Mona Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Greg was needing an extra infield official. I don't think I qualify for this prestigious position. I am only an untrained and untalented steering wheel holder that turns left.
