Three C (United States Auto Club) races were held at the track earlier this year. Qualifying trials for the race have been conducted at designated times and tracks during the 1977 racing campaign. Twenty-two drivers have entered the event and Conole ex pects that figure to double by early October. “We had 40 last year,” he said. “Tve talked with several of the driv ers and it looks like we ll have a bet ter turnout this time.” The drivers compete on tracks throughout the state on weekends. “It is, in fact, the state cham pionship of the super stock cai's that run on Friday and Saturday nights,” Conole commented. The event includes a purse in crease of 50 per cent over last year. kLrM-Tech tickets; valuable commodity 31 By MARK PATTERSON ticket to the A&M-Teeh game irrow is a very valuable com ity.

In er to make room for him the ings waived offensive tackle Bart Itow, from the University of mesota. with the present ticket situation within the conference, A&M has experienced relatively few. “I feel as if the system we have here at A&M is the best possible system available,” Groff said. “The only change could be the exclusion of date tickets available to the stu dents. I suspect that about one third of our Tech tickets went or will go to non-students. But that s a problem the Student Senate will have to look at. “I just feel as if we ought to take care of our own people first.” The prize money jumped from $6,000 to $9,000. “With the sponsorship money and the contingency money that comes in from companies and the entry' fees that car owners will pay us, we can afford the increase in purse, Conole said. “It’s probably the most eco nomical race we’ve ever put on, he added. The purse increase still allows the fan to view the event at a cheap rate, however. “The spectator can come and watch a tremendous race for five dollars,” he said. “There’s no ques tion that for five dollars that’s the greatest buy in sports.” The race will be held on the tricky, inner two-mile road course at TWS, a challenging stretch with sharp curves. The drivers will enter the road course from the high banked, two-mile oval, continue through the turns and emerge at the third turn of the oval. “Coming out of that third turn they are really flying,” said Conole. “They’re going faster than they’ve ever gone at the local track.” The set-up enables the fan to see all of the action from the grand stands. “That’s one of the reasons why we are utilizing the two-mile course,” said Conole. “It’s very important that the spectator see the cars as they man never for position, he added. Qualifying trials at TWS for the Texas Race of Champions will be held at noon on race day, with the green flag to drop at 2 p.m. Tickets can be obtained at the speedway box office on Highway 6.
