Event Coverage Texas Thaw 2009 News...........

casey your funny, i talked to you last year, between hot-laps, hah.
i got that ol rusty roadster with the 21 on it, 8ba, to slow for your 8cmm
ill see yu there this weekend ...

 

Looks like we won't be able to bring our new grandson to this year's race ---- but I bet we figure out a way to get a damn cool look'n car seat in the '56 by next year! We just have to figure out how to get him past tech & the starter's. Casey --watch out. Future drag racer

 

Too cool !!! Congrats !

 

Just a few days left and we are getting ready in Ardmore.
Couple of clubs and a few dragsters going over the river
Saturday morning. If you never been to this deal it is way cool and ed puts on a great drag race show...see you in texas! Rob

 

Congrats granny - you musta started at like, 8 years old?

 

i missed pre-reg. but looks like the bird will be flying this weekend, whats the cost for this shindig?

 

Well, the driveline in the Fairlane was only about 30 miles old last year, so I wasn't ready to break anything yet. This year, I'm at about to 5,000 miles mark, so I plan on making some passes Friday night...and I'll have 6 weeks to fix whatever I break before the Roundup!

Ed Cannon challenged me last year, but I had to decline. We have almost identical engine setups, but I'm probably 2,000 lbs heavier with the more-door. This year, who knows???

 

Ken and I talked earlier and we might have to re-think the rpe-reg stuff... Here is the breakdown...

Gate is 10 bucks a head
then if ya want to race they will getcha for 15 bucks in tech
for a total of 25 for driver...
then if ya want to show your car its a 10 buck fee to be paid at the t-shirt table.

I know this is very confusing but this is the way the track sets it up. The track is very good to us as a club and we could not in anyway put on such a good show with out the good people at the track. So, bare with us and have fun....

BTW ... we bought a crap load of shirts this year... so be sure to pick one up... they're 15 buck and Mike did a hellof an art job for us...

 

I guess we are in countdown mode.... 24 hrs or so ... I am ready as ever ! see everybody there. Dennis

 

Sorry for the confusion and misinformation about the entry fee to race at the Thaw. Please let me get it straight for everyone.

You will only pay your $10 admission to enter the track at the front gate.

The race entry fee will be paid and the forms filled out at the classification stand located at the headquarters tent for the Texas Timing Association in the pits . The fee to race will be only $10. We had earlier discussed a $15 price with the Torques and the track, but decided that with the economy in the pits, $10 was more fair and realistic. If you want to run heads up AND the bracket class both, that's fine; $10 for each class you enter.

Those who want to join the points chase towards an opportunity to win their class at the TTA Texas State Championship Race at Northstar in November need to get a TTA membership. The fee is $20, and you get a five-color screen-printed T-shirt and a TTA sticker when you sign up. We're still booking other events on the TTA nostalgia circuit for '09, and are planning for six other races in the series before we run the Texas State Championship next fall. If you just want to race at the Texas Thaw, and not run the other events and join the points competition towards becoming the Texas State Champion in your class, there is no need for you to buy a TTA membership.

In other TTA related news, we now have 15 vintage pro class dragsters and altereds confirmed for the Thaw, many of them blown and/or on nitro. We'll have a Cacklefest after lunch Saturday, and run three rounds of wheel-to-wheel match racing. Friends from the Outlaw Fuel Altered Association and the Southwest Junior Fuel Association are among those we are expecting for the event.

Be there or be square!

-Ed

 

Count down hell! The twitches have started!!!!

 

RV loaded,car on trailer, see ya there

 

I am ready to race !!!!!!

 

this will be my first time headed out to the thaw cant wait to see everything!

 

I'm confused Ed,so let me get this straight,it's an additional $10 at classification in addition to,The $10 pit pass and $15 to get to the starting line that I payed when I pre-Registered to get to race? Or am I square with the world as it stands now?
