Subject: TPSA and body styles

Our original concept for this class was to present cars that resembled real pro stocks. I take full responsibility for allowing the Corvette roadster to participate at this race. Warren Womack called and told me what he had and I told him that if he could make the weight, he could race.

We wanted to present as big a field of cars as we could to get a feel for who and what was out there. We got a terrific response! Jon Womack drove a good race and got a couple of breaks when the '55 red lighted in the semi's and Robert Faerman had driveline trouble in the final. Jon ran from 5.33 to 5.37 in eliminations and was not the fastest car by any means. I congratulate him on his win and am proud of his fine attitude and sportsmanship.

For next year, we are (as I have said repeatedly) sending out rules questionaires for everyone to fill out, and will post a link on the web site to download the form. If you don't make your wishes known to us, you will have no place to gripe about the rules we post. This is all about a fair, level playing field for all, and we welcome your (rational) suggestions and will consider all.

As to the allowance of the full bodied roadster types racing with us next year, this is still up for consideration. If we allow cars like the Corvette, we would also have to allow other types of full bodied roadsters like the '27s and such. We look for racer input here and will consider whatever the majority wants.

We want everyone to have fun here and this is our ultimate aim.

Thanks again for your support! We are very pleased!

John Harrison

A door car is a door car. The doors open and close. A Roadster is a Roadster. If racers that have Roadsters or non-opening doors assemble a group of similar cars they can run a separate category. If the rules are going to change every few months, and it can take 6-8 months to build a car, you can complete the thought.
