Jeff Watson and I, and possibly a 3rd driver, will be driving Jeff's white BPU Supra race car at Texas World Speedway in a 6-hour Endurance race this Saturday.
It's not -officially- a spectator event, but we can get you in as crew.. and if you're interested in helping out as crew, we'd be glad to accept any and all help too!
Registration Saturday Morning starts at 7am. Practice and Qualifying is from 8:15 to 9:30. The Endurance race Grids at 10:30 and officially starts at 10:45... going until 4:45.
If you think you might be able to come, either to watch or to help out... email me and/or give Jeff Watson a call. I'm at [email protected] . Jeff Watson can be reached during business hours at work.... I'm sure most of you already have him on speed dial like I do but if you don't.... it's 1-800-327-2087. While you've got him on the phone, buy some parts. Heh.
TWS is 5 miles south of College Station, TX on Highway 6. It's just over 3 hours from Dallas and just over an hour from Houston. Here is the address of the track so you can Mapquest it:
17529 State Highway 6 S
College Station, TX 77845-8465
It's a FUN track and you get a SWEET view of the racing from the infield.....
BTW...... Here is what we're hoping to see again
(The pic above was taken when I took the SCCA Racing School at TWS two weekends ago... I used Jeff's Supra for the school.... and the pic above was in one of the races on the 2nd day of the school, when I passed about 15 cars on the outside at the green flag (kicked everybody's ass on reaction) and made for a great kodak moment... ).
Looks like a cool car, does he have a website or anything with more info on it? That event looks fun, Id help you guys out if i was in the area.
Atleast out here in socal, to be legal for scca races a car needs a fuel cell (in addition to all the usual stuff).. does this car have one? I havent been able to find any supras with one to see how it was done...
Im not a huge fan of the scca, but for the last few months ive had the urge to run the supra in a WC race.... and id need to upgrade from the scca regional to pro license and id have to run a bunch of events..

Jeff used to be in the regional ITE class, but they recently bumped his car into SP. So he did put a fuel cell, full fuel system, etc in it.
We haven't taken pics of the fuel cell yet, we just barely finished getting the car together a few hours before my SCCA racing school two weekends ago (and when I say litereally... I mean we stayed up Friday night all night working on the car.. finished at 5:45am, had a coffee, and went to Texas World Speedway).
For the last number of years, I’ve been refining the car with the street/road course focus versus my prior interests. Between 3 different houses, jobs and other life events I finally did something I’ve been trying to do for the last number of years. A college friend kept harassing me to go out...
At VIR (Full Course) this weekend (Nov. 22/23rd 2014) with Track Club USA.
Lots of open track and cool temps led to a new personal best lap time of 2:17 and top speed of 143mph:
At twilight it was easy to see the reflection of the exhaust flames on my rear wing:
A slightly earlier twilight...
Last weekend Tarheel Sports Car Club ran on the Grand (East) Course at VIR (the Grand course is rarely available, and is known as a fantastic configuration to run if you ever get the chance), and I was there with a freshly rebuilt (and broken in) engine and upgraded twin turbos! My best lap was...
