Tim Roszell wins season opener at TST

[oldbuck]

Great job Tim. Starting the season off right. Glory be to God!!!

[Race fan1]

Congrats to tim! Strong showing in first time out in his personal equipment in a while. How many supers were present?

[oldbuck]

Only 13 supers. Tim has a very good car. Setup man did a very good job. Good power too.

Sounds like the Same ole Same at TST. They need to make that little track at least a 3/8 mi. It seems odd to have NASCARS fastest track sitting next door to such a small track. I only visit 2 times per year. jmo

Bigger is not always better! IMO

[oldbuck]

This little track has had some of the best racing I've ever seen in times past but they do need to update the place badly.

[muddy_mike]

Bigger is not always better! IMO LOL most people go to a car race to see cars go fast. I doubt the SLM class ever reaches 75 mph with track perfect....lol

[GotDirt1313]

Lol you've probably never been there, and your assumption is wrong, they reach about 100 in a very short time, hell even my FWD 6cyl got up to 60, but yes, they badly need new ownership and upgrades all over the place, there's really good racing there sometimes when they take care of the track itself, but thta's not very often.

[muddy_mike]

LOL The only time your 6cyl. FWD saw 60 mph was on Exit 158 off of I-20..lol dream on

[Barbecueboy]

Has anybody seen Keith lately?????

[GotDirt1313]

yeah whatever, I guess you were right there in the passenger seat huh, I have no reason to lie, like I said, you've probably never even been to the track so you don't even know what you're talking about!!

[muddy_mike]

R.I.P. Perry Holman you were one of the best....75MPH TOPS!

[muddy_mike]

yeah whatever, I guess you were right there in the passenger seat huh, I have no reason to lie, like I said, you've probably never even been to the track so you don't even know what you're talking about!! Whats the matter there speedy with an exaggerated speed complex dis-order?

[B_K]

Has anybody seen Keith lately?????

Which one? I'm pretty sure the dumb one is close by.

[GotDirt1313]

Whats the matter there speedy with an exaggerated speed complex dis-order?Nothing's the matter, I just know for a fact you don't know what you're talking about!!!

[DIRTRAYCER]

LOL most people go to a car race to see cars go fast. I doubt the SLM class ever reaches 75 mph with track perfect....lol

Unless this has been broken the Official SLM Track Record: Track Record broken by 16 year old Bret Holmes On May 11, 2013 with a 12.958 . That calculates to almost 92mph average. They have to be topping 100mph.

[muddy_mike]

Thanks DIRTRAYCER. lol Care to share those formulas as to how you came up with that answer?

[muddy_mike]

Congrats. To Tim Roszell on the big W...The CT 525 is really a good choice for TST...

[oldbuck]

Tim was not running the 525. He was in his on car not the 6.

[oldbuck]

Should have said own car, 25.

[muddy_mike]

LOL I was referring to the CT525 Chevy performance racing engine..lol

[oldbuck]

I was too. He's not running the CT525. He's running an SB2.

[DIRTRAYCER]

Thanks DIRTRAYCER. lol Care to share those formulas as to how you came up with that answer?

No problem .
Use the formula Speed = Distance divided by Time.
Distance is Track Length, multiplied by Lap Time divided into 1 Hour (3600 seconds.)
For a lap at TST (.333 miles): Speed = .333 x (3600/12.958), = .333 x 277.82065 =*** 92.514276 mph average speed***

Track Size of TST is .333
Lap Time was 12.985
3600 seconds in 1 hour

However you have made 1 major mistake. How are you measuring TST as a 1/3 MI. track?

[muddy_mike]

I was too. He's not running the CT525. He's running an SB2. What is the difference? Thankz

[oldbuck]

Around 200 horsepower.

The track last Saturday night was in very good shape allowing for some darn good action, Josh Atkins had a nice lead when some parts broke on his ride and had to go pit side, tough break, car was well prepared. The Limited Late Model feature was a doozy. The track in my view of attending there for now 8 years, 2 years as the announcer, the racing had been very good. The best in Alabama. In my view the 2 raciest tracks down here week in and week out are Magnolia and TST.

We did have 89 cars last week, more will enter the next few weeks. A few years ago on one hooked-up night a fan had a radar gun on Super and scanned the car at 101m.p.h. going into turn 3. TST is indeed very racy no doubt, had practice last Tuesday night and reports were that the track was as smooth as glass and multi-grooved.

There you go AGAIN stretching things all out of shape. Number 1 you have only announced at TST 1 year IF you wont to call that Chicken Clucking you do. I was right to start with TST does NOT see speeds at 100 MPH on weekly basis...HAHAHA

[muddy_mike]

TST don't have much of a P.A. System THANK GOD!

[Race fan1]

You are out of line keith!

[Late_Model_Mark]

Actually what the muddy one has posted is incorrect as far as my announcing, I did a bunch of shows in 2013 as well, so it has been 2 years. Soon this poster will get the boot for the not-so-nice posts or responses. Facts before fiction sir. Wonder why this guy(if it is you-know-who) has turned from a friendly guy to nasty, especially when you have done nothing, nada, zilch, to offend or anger.

Keith, is there actually anything about dirt track racing that you don't complain about???

[oldbuck]

I would think that Tim Roszells car was well prepared being he WON!!!

[DIRTRAYCER]

Just going by the Track Info they have on their website . This is copied and pasted from their site. " Track Facts: 1/3 mile high banked (18°) red clay oval with 400 ft. straightaways. The track has won National and Regional awards, including the North American Racing Insurance National Excellence in Safety Award."

[muddy_mike]

I also saw that on their web-site...lol.... However if it was correctly measured 12' from the wall or outside rim it would be close to 1,320 ft. or 1/4 MI. MAYBE..lol

[muddy_mike]

I would think that Tim Roszells car was well prepared being he WON!!! I think you are right..Congrats to Tim.

Okay, if you will go
and get me a correct measurement, I will be more than happy to give you the mph. Lol Or you can just use the formula I posted.

[muddy_mike]

Maybe some of the locals will measure it for us.....lol

[GotDirt1313]

Maybe you should just admit you're an idiot and don't know what you're talking about!!!

[fastford]

good call on that one BBQ, thanks mods, glad his dum azz gone again....
