TSM at BPG

Scott, Who will be the RRA at this race?
Ooh, that does not sound good. Sorry to hear that Phil.
No vids from yesterday..
8 SEC 109 - Only a few have done that so far, who might this be?
I was wondering the same thing. I only know of two that have accomplished that feat.
Saturday 10:30 AM it is scheduled for the TSM cars to go to the scales for Peer Tech and courtesy weigh in. The experienced TSM racers can answer questions from anyone that has some. A TSM legal car with aluminum heads must weigh #3,550 with the dirver in the car. There is #150 weight break for iron headed engines.
As each pair of cars go down the track they are to go to the scales for official weight check. If anyone is below the class weight, that pass does NOT count for qualifying. Unless someone can find a person willing to watch the scaled weights, then the two racers need to view each other's weights (unfortunately, neither myself, Phil McGloin or Steve Sullivan will be there for sure to administer Saturday's two round of qualifying).
Phil has announced that he will be there on Sunday. There will also be a second round of Peer Tech Sunday morning for cars that were not peer teched on Saturday. This will be held in the STAGING LANES at 9:30 but it is up to the "late" drivers to get themselves+cars weighed prior to that first round of Sunday qualifying to ensure that they will make weight after each qualifying pass (which are scheduled for 10 and 11 AM). Drivers are not required to make a pass during all four rounds of qualifying, but once you have, your car is 'officially' entered into TSM (subject to any allowances made by the BPG race director).
If you have any questions, anyone that has raced TSM in the past has the knowledge to answer any questions.

Are you saying there won't be TSM qualifying on Friday now? I hope that's not the case as I cannot make it Saturday.
Scott, we are planning on running TSO qualifying session Friday. I'm not sure if you can get another racer in TSM to tech your car and run on Friday night or not, but I personally don't see a good reason why not. My thoughts are if the BPG is paying us racers then we should put a show on for them, it would be disrespectful not to run our cars per their schedule.

LOL does the plug even matter at this point
Sorry, I missed that. I'm on vacation and was in a hurry to go water skiing. As long as you get someone to verify the weight and that the car meets peer tech, you're good. Gotta go on a beer run with the in-laws now...
