NOTICE - -As of 10:00am today 4/28/2021 we are cancelling the race at I-30 Dragway for this Sunday. This is due to track surface repairs that are being made - which will not be completed in time for our race. We will reschedule this race at a later date. 

I second that motion - 160 tech cards at Xtreme - really, really good turn out. Thanks to everyone that came and supported our series. Hopefully we can get a repeat of that number or better for the race at the Motorplex on October  25th - which will be our final race of 2020.

What a day at the Xtreme Raceway Park TMCCC races Sunday. Want to thank all the Club Race Team Members for helping me out Sunday. In the 1/4 Finals of Electronics Class, during the burnout, I realized I had a serious motor issue - my opponent, Billy Key, red lit, and in order to not do more serious damage to my motor, I just idled through, and back to pits. I called my day done, and I was satisfied that I had Semi Final'd. But, Mike Bearce & a few other Race team members brought up the fact that I would need to "Stage the Car and take the Light" in order to get my Semi points. All the Team members rallied to my aide - they hooked a tow strap to my Dart, and Jimmy James Blackwell, with his pickup, pulled me to the staging lanes. All we intended to do was stage the car, and get my points for the Semi's - but God was also looking after me - and I drew the bye run - which meant I would be in the Finals. Jimmy pulled me up to the right lane, and all the Cowtown Mopars Team, and a few other racers, pushed me thru the burnout out box to the starting line, then thru the beams, and I was in the Finals. Mr. Jeff Nekuza, my opponent, was the Electronics Winner - and I was a gracious Runner Up. Thanks so much to all my Cowtown Mopars Race Team Buddies for insisting they would get me to the staging lanes to get my points !!

MARTHA KAUS, you are absolutely AWESOME - Not only posted the results by this morning, you have posted the updated points - - that is a large task.  Thank you so much for what you do for the TMCCC Race Program. AWESOME !!!!  

Mike has been admitted to North Hills Hospital - He is experiencing very high Potassium levels.  I pray for them to get him stabilized and back in good health. 

 

I think that is a valid suggestion.  I would have done that yesterday for sure.

 We owe Larry & Jan Croft, and Nick Duty a big thank you for putting the race on yesterday, even though we did not have enough car count for them to even break even. 

Our participants need to understand that the tracks have to generate an income, and if we don't support the events with turn out, they won't be having us back. 

I know it was hot yesterday, and for a 71 year old man it was tough - The tow up there and back was about $ 75. in fuel for my truck.  The tow to Xtreme Raceway Park and back was about $ 30, the tow to Abilene and back was $ 55.  The entry fees were the same for all three events. So my cost to do the one day travel was more, but was worth the tow and the additional time. I would do it again next weekend, because I want the TMCCC program to survive.

Race number one was rained out, So we are starting the Contingency

 [color=#1d2129]Ladies and Gentleman - I would like to inject some comment here about the TMCCC = Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge racing series.

Firstly, the TMCCC was designed for Car Clubs to compete against Car Clubs, thusly, for the Club Drivers to compete against other Club Drivers - " FOR POINTS".

This idea has been working for Thirty Years, with minimal change to its Bylaws and Rules.
I personally want to see the TMCCC series continue for at least as long as I can participate, and years beyond that.

Drag Racing is changing dramatically - participants interests are changing dramatically - some participants want to see just how quick and fast they can go, without much consideration for safety - some want to just race at events that offer up big money purses, some of those offering up Buy Backs, and which take many, many hours to complete. Some want to race just the NHRA Legal classes, such as - Stock, Super Stock, Comp, Super Street, Super Gas. etc, etc. Some just want to run the NHRA or IHRA Bracket program at their local race facility. Those are all individual choices participants make, just as running the TMCCC program is. No matter which, or what, program, you decide to compete in - it takes committed participation to make it successful, regardless of what the PAYOUT is = whether that be Monies, Trophies, or Plaques.

Please understand, the TMCCC officers are doing their best in this dramatically changing racing world to keep this series going, to get us races as close to home as possible, to get 10 races scheduled each season and to get all those scheduled races completed.

The Racing Facilities have to make a profit to keep their tracks operating, and viable. We have to understand they are going to first fill up their schedules with events that they can generate the most income from, then fill in with other events - like the TMCCC.
 
This is what the TMCCC is experiencing most dramatically this year.

I said all of this to ask
