In reply to: fan 's message, "there are 4 maybe 5 guys willing to spend that kind of money here locally, if TPSA were a national deal i would say keep it and see who runs out of money first. no differaent than comp or pro stock or any other heads up class. it all comes down to who is willing to spend the most. with teh pro class rules the way they are now you can be competitive with 1100 hp and a decent car. you wont see the engines make much more than 1100 with the current rules this will keep a level feild for many years, do you think the average fan gives a shit if an extreme owner spent 70k on a motor or a pro guy that spent 25k. do you think they care if you just went 4.55 or 4.75 still fast and is it worth isolating this into 2 classes when you cannot even fill an 8 car feild in either. getting off track and rambling i will shut up now . BTW I do appreciate what it takes to get wher the extreme guys are they are definatly the baddest conventional headed boys in the world, but to what end." on 08/26/11 12:15pm

Mr Fan, we run an all run format now and the random draw is here to stay. I haven't heard that the XTREME guys want a change, or heard from anyone of them wanting to restructure the class to save $$$. Are you sayin' the XTREME guys would be happy to shelve the combo's they've worked on, & spent big $$ on, for years to run PRO? IF so, the option is in place for them without a rule change. Are you saying you're part of an XTREME team that wants to run PRO and is waiting for a rule change to make it easier??

I still don't see the advantage to your "plan" or a significant difference to our existing program. If you want to run with us in PRO great! What happens in XTREME doesn't affect you except that they help insure car count, put on a great show, and they have seniority in the class. Yes Richard is planning on running ADRL next year but he has also said he'd support the TPSA as well. It's no secret that Wood's looking @ ADRL too so time will tell. Haven't heard any alternate plans out of the "PigPen", Pearce, or Hanson, and until these guys say they want a change or quit showing up....TPSA is gonna try to provide them a place to race.

Why don't you call me sometime @ 512 756 6384 to discuss this further...it's easier to talk vs type and make sure we're talking about the same thing. Thanks,
