Subject: TPSA????

I have a quick question for everyone who looks at this site. Gary and I went to the ADRL event yesterday and had the pleasure of running into/visiting with several members of TPSA (Pigfords-Roy&Joe,Rick&Kevin Cowger, Darrell Wood, Robert Malone, Xtreme Champ Larry Pearce). On the ride home we discussed how we enjoyed visiting/racing with these guys. Now the real question, what does everyone think about a series like a Texas Outlaw Pro Stock? Keeping the same fundamental rules as are here now but open up the induction to perhaps allow some of the Top Sportsman cars to run with us heads-up. But again keep this a naturally aspirated class, if nitrous is on cars bottles must be removed and lines capped. We may have to tweak some of the rules like up the cu. in. limit to like a 632 for the T/S guys but drop the weight for a conventional headed motor down to say 2350# and base starting at 2400# for other heads. Keep everything on a 4.84" bore spacing as rules are now and converter driven powerglide transmission (No Bruno or anything of that nature). I don't have the contacts to kick something like this off, but was just a idea to perhaps getting the cars dusted off and on the track and inviting some friends with a quick car to come play heads-up. I feel certain we would have to just run for entry fees for a bit unless we could get a little help, but it beats the purse the cars are getting in the barn....lol. Maybe like a race a month or so, meet up with a prepped track line them up race and enjoy each others company. I do know this after yesterday, the ADRL T/S field is now aware of what a conventional headed BBC is capable of. My contact is (979)549-8391 and Gary's is (979)709-9993 if anyone wants to contact with their ideas. Thanks Steve Miller

[> 4.70 -- mitchell, 04/ 2/12 4:46pm

How about this for the remainder of 2012. six races, san antonio and Dallas (or the Dale) . 4.70 index on a heads up pro tree. run any combination provided it has doors and can pass tech on NHRA rules. Only rule is no throttle stops, have to think about Nitrous cars with there electronics. Entry fee is $200 per car 100% pays to cars. I will put another $200 to the perfect 4.700 during time trials.
We race as Texas Outlaw 4.70

If I get 8 solid committments I will put out a schedule and give us something to do.

MUST HAVE FEEDBACK ON THE BOARD OR EMAIL.

[> [> time for someone new to step up...how 'bout you Mr "racer" or your sidekick "fan"? How hard can it be to make a few phone calls and put it together?? Take Bonnie up on her offer & get the Houston Cars together, call it Outlaw Pro Stock and roll on! Or, take Mitchell's suggestion, think of your own class/rules...whatever. It ain't rocket science...all it takes is time, dedication, and a commitment to makin' it happen. -- I put in my 8 yrs...LOL! Gave notice that Kay & I were steppin' down months ago, and that the TPSA,LLC would not have an "official" event in 2012. And I sign my name when I post!.... DH, 04/ 4/12 6:42pm

[> Count WinMil in on anything that comes up. We're kinda committed to our new engine combo, but will run index or whatever is needed. -- Steve Miller, 04/ 4/12 3:53pm
