While we are getting ready for this year's big season-ending TSC-11 event, here are a few comments posted by HAMB'ers about their experience at last year's big race. "What a day! Lots of incredible things to see, stands were full, racing was intense! - Maxcackle Thanks to Ed Miller and the TTA crew...we had a great weekend with a lot of friends …What a nice track and friendly staff. …Thanks again for creating a venue for all the "real racers" mixed in with "our old timey Little River kind of cars"... We'll be back!!!! Whooo Hoooo!!!!! – Skot Yep, we gotta support all the local events that want us there!!! It was a great time… and an awesome track!!!! We will definitely be back next year. - Rusty I really enjoyed it. I love Day of the Drags, but it's like having only one bookend. I think this event completes the set. – Scottybaccus Got there early, stayed late, and had a great time! That was the highest quality drag racing I've seen in a long time. The members of the TTA and other clubs and organizations that put it on can be proud of themselves. Congratulations. Thanks for putting on a great show. We will be there next year. – Thom Mead Great race!! Well worth the 1260-mile round trip from Bella Vista, Arkansas!! – OldTopGasser Had a great time there! Glad to see all my long distance friends! – Dirty2 As a vendor, there was no BS from you or your team, and after doing shows for 30+ years it is a joy to work with people who let you go do yo thang instead of powerplaying. Man, that was a fun event and.…had a real Blast! Saw lots of friends and customers from way back and I still heard cars running at midnite! Let's do it again, and mo wheelies! - MikeysPinstriping Nice to get to run my non-HAMB friendly car with friends. As a suggestion, Ed, please start the racing earlier or make this a two day race. Us old folks get a little cranky after our bed time. – Junior Stock It was a great event for the first one in San Antonio, and it's great that it will be back in 2011! – Kenneth S What a great time! Good to see everyone, and glad to see so many familiar faces make the trip to San Antonio! – ChevyRat" We'll be posting more details soon about important changes to move this year's big race along at a faster clip so that we can finish at an earlier hour. Check back.

I see that the gates open at 8am and the time trials start at noon. Will there be any grudge matches or racing prior to the noon time trails? (Like they do at DOTD, Yellow Belly and the THAW)
