TSO race at Norwalk

[Ted A.]

TSO race shaping up for the Norwalk race. Looking pretty promising to be on Sunday. Anybody who would like to sponsor would be appreciated. We have a 8 car field as of now and would like to see it grow. This will be the first TSO race at Norwalk, so this is a major development and step forward to get more of these races throughout the country. Thanks to Art Paltz and the JCC team for pushing and organizing this.

So far we have some nice contingency payouts including:

Bill Anderson, Anderson Performance
Cal Hartline, Hartline Performance
Jack Cotton, Cottons Performance (I believe, please chime in Jack)


Anybody else? There will be some surprizes after the race, which is to be expected from the JCC crew, some photo ops and there will be videos of the race.

[Ted A.]

From the other board:

I am proud to announce that we have put together a TSO race for Norwalk this year. TSO rules as dictated for Salem and Indy will be followed. Although we only have a few racers confirmed, with the payouts we expect to have no problem having a full field. Any car meeting the TSO rules is welcome to race. TSO rules are more lenient than any other turbo class; you do not have to have a stage block to race. The race will be held on Friday so any TSM or Q-16 racers that meet the 9.99 ET qualifying time and TSO rules are welcome to run. We would be more than happy to have cars from any turbo class (TSS, TSE, TSL, etc.). Based on the results at BG last year with the runner up in the mid 9's and the Salem winner only having a best run of 9.8, both with fields in the 8's, it's clear that just about anyone can win in TSO. Sometimes consistency is better than quickest ET or big MPH.

To sweeten the pot we will be collecting a $20 entrance fee (it all goes back to the winner). This is a winner takes all heads-up race.

Official sponsorship money is donated by the following vendors (listed alphabetically):
Andersen Performance - $100 to the winner, $100 to top qualifier
Cotton's Performance - $201 to the winner
Hartline Performance - $200 to the winner

Official contingency money has been posted for the winner by:
Andersen Performance, additional $50 if the winner has an Andersen Performance sticker on their car, contact Billy for details.
Hartline Performance, additional $100 if the winner has a Hartline Performance sticker on their car, contact Cal for details.

We are still working on additional sponsors. As it stands now, with top qualifier and contingency money the winner could walk away with more than $900 for the win.

If you plan to race please let me know, you will not be committed to race. Entrance fee will be collected at tech on Friday morning. We plan to have three qualifying runs Friday morning, a cool down period and then go into eliminations.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me directly. Full payouts are only guaranteed for an 8-car minimum field. Less than 6 cars and the race is called off. A six or seven car field has lower sponsor and contingency money payouts but will be more than half of the full amount.

If there are additional interested sponsors please contact me directly.

A big thanks to all our sponsors for stepping up and making this race a reality!

Come on guys this a a rather large payout for a quick race. Lets make a full car field and get this race in the program for years to come.

I would think some of the heavy hitter TSM cars, I.E. Dick Kerney and Bill Anderson stand a excellent chance of winning and the bragging rights to beating a TSO car is priceless.

[Kip]

So is the TSO race on Friday or Sunday?
Thanks, Kip

[Steve Hughes]

Some cars must have run on Thursday. I heard Art Paltz nabbed an 8-second pass in TSO trim before the rains started. :beer:

I heard the same thing. I also heard that a NT was on the window and the lights didn't show his time. I did ask Art about this and I have to admit, he sure wasn't bragging up that pass and is keeping it quiet. I'm sure Bill is grinding up some custom 8 sec club S2 valve covers when he gets back.

You still get a slip even with NT. :D :D Rain sucked today. Made us wait outside the gate for 2 hours while it was dry and then when the rain started then they let us in.... wtf. I couldn't even work on the car because it was still inside from yesterday. I guess we will have to test and tune with the locals tom.

Like they told Bamford on his 9.23pass in Reynolds, lets see the video:beer:

If he did break the 8's,that is great.

I saw Billy A. go 9.7x and 9.6X tonight during the regular test and tune. Art made a couple shakedown passes with his new paint. Rich Reeves was tuning things in. I didn't get any video but I may get a chance to get some sun. I made an easy 10.27 pass checking out the new driveshaft.
