Herb had posted this on the PTRA website...

The Triad Thunder Series hosted by Piedmont Dragway and Avis Southerland have made a format change this weekend after talking to drivers about cost and fuel. This Race will be done as we did it in February with index's running togather as long as possible and the rest go to Pro Tree Eliminator.

Index's will be 5.30, 6.00, 6.49, 7.00, 7.49, 8.99 and PTE. All on one ladder from fastest index to slowest index then PTE.

If you come on Friday and Saturday you can race for free Saturday with a 20.00 two day pass. See Powerglide Pro Mods and Pro Tree Race for free. If you come on Saturday its 15.00 Gen admission and 5.00 to TNT, and you race for free. So 20.00 gets you in and race this weekend.

There is one purse and you will be put on a ladder after second round.

1000 WIN
400 RU
200 Semi
100 1/4

This race is there because we feel the gas is hurting people and if we can pass something along maybe just maybe a few more will come.

Also Sunday we are running TOP FOOTBRAKE, JRS AND STREET.

i think im gonna try out the 7.49 index and try to get some stripe practice..are these races during to 1 to 4 TNT session?

[herbjr]

It rained at the track at 615 and there was no way we could have raced. Now I know there are alot of questions so Ill try to get them all

Pro Mod Qualifing is at 2pm and 430pm with first round at 6pm.

Stock SS will run their first official time run at 5pm and second at 620 or so. You guys will either go right before or right after the Pro Mods. The index classes will run open time runs from 230 til 6. With first round being at 6:30. SInce we only have 3 classes and TNT all I can say is please get in the front of the line in one but we wont be on kill running you guys to death.

DW dont ask me if JR can test Saturday, although he will be the only Piperack there. I have no problem with him testing.

The cost for the index classes is 5 bucks car entry once you are in the gate. The car entry for Stock SS is 35. once you pay the 15 to get in.

I hope this answers everything, we are doing a TNT tomorrow night from 6 to 9pm. Any more questions?

Angela is wasnt on the origional flier, this was an add on after it rained out tonight.

Thanks for the info - I realize this was an add on, what I was referring to not being on the flyer is the purse structure and entry fee for the index class racing, or the times for that matter.....I'm referring to the flyer under this title on your site: "PRO MOD SATURDAY - Triad Thunder Series - May 17th"

We'll probably stick with just the S/SS race then, it's going to be a quick program it sounds like (which we prefer) and running two classes would be a bit of overkill...not to mention having to go switch back and forth between five tenths and pro tree.

Thanks we'll see you Saturday

[Michael Beard]

Any more questions?

Yup! The original Piedmont schedule says S/SS Series on Sunday. Running us both days, or just 'moving' Sunday's to Saturday, so to speak?

[herbjr]

No Mike we are doing 2 full bracket races in one day on Sunday, so we decided to move the Sunday race because of this and not having time for everything. I knew the Stk SS guys would understand as we have some big things planned for later in year. Especailly Nov. 1st end of year date. Anyway hope to see everyone Saturday.
