A fugitive from the law. A rebel; a nonconformist: a social outlaw. A person excluded from normal legal. Fastest Door Slammers On The Planet. The final race of the 2. TOPMA series was held at San Antonio Raceway on October 2. A few cars were unable to make the show due to breakage at the last Kennedale race but six hot rods showed up and battled it out on the track. For those following the points chase, all Wiley and the TGR team had to do was show up and they pretty much locked down the championship. After first round of qualifying, an exhibition car oiled down the track from about 2. It was a very lengthy clean- up but the safety of those competing was the tracks main concern and they did a great job. After two rounds of qualifying, here’s how everything unfolded: #1 Bob Alexander – 3. Doug Riesterer – 3. Eric Clark – 4. 0. Jay Ligon – 4. 1. Steve Wiley – 4. 8. Chuck Poindexter – 6. Gaylen and I were there supporting the organization and the track but we found an unrepairable crack in the block and was unable to bring the Bounty Hunter. Blocks are not usually sitting on the shelf nor are they cheap enough to just go buy one unexpectedly. First race we’ve missed EVER!!! We are not good spectators. Rant over! Chuck Poindexter broke down on the way to the track in Temple and could have given up and turned around and went home but finally made it in time for 2nd round qualifying. Way to hang in there Chuck. First Round: Steve Wiley (W) 4. RT)Doug Riesterer (RU) 5. RT)Doug shook the tires and aborted the run while Wiley was getting down his lane a little better capturing the win. Bob Alexander (W) 4. RT)Chuck Poindexter (RU) 7. RT)Both cars reacted almost identically but Chuck spun the tires at the hit and all he could do was watch Bob hook and reel in the win. Jay Ligon (W) 5. 3.

The final race of the 2016 TOPMA series was held at San Antonio Raceway on October 22nd. A few cars were unable to make the show due to breakage at the last Kennedale. RT)Steve Wiley (RU) 1. RT)I think Butch and Eric must have run up and told their drivers to “wake- up” and go. Jay was on a nice clean run while Wiley shook and rattled and coasted down. Bob Alexander (W) No Time (Bye Run)Bob was only sporting about 6 cylinders when they were calling them for the round so the crew buttoned it up so he could take the tree and go back to the trailer and fix it correctly. Bob didn’t like doing this because we, as a group, are there to put on a show for the fans but sometimes it is necessary. He did not disappoint in the final though. Finals: Bob Alexander (W) 3. RT)Jay Ligon (RU) 6. RT)Jay was caught napping again but Bob was ready for the tree and soared down his lane claiming his 4th win of the season. Congratulations to Bob Alexander and the entire Strip. Tec team for their hard fought victory but it wasn’t quite enough to get around Wiley for the championship, finishing 2. Congrats also to Jay Ligon for his runner- up finish. A huge “congratulations” to Steve Wiley and the TGR team for their fist TOPMA championship! It was well deserved and premeditated. Over the winter, the team stripped the car down to the bare chassis and re- wired it making certain there would be no gremlins this year. They also came back from a devastating encounter with the wall in San Antonio without missing a beat. I’m sure the candles were burning from both ends that week. That’s what you call perseverance and dedication and the making of a true champion. Welcome to the club TGR. Bob Alexander fought a good fight but came up just shy of his goal for the year and that was to better his standings from last year and claim his first championship. He will definitely be one to watch next year. If our car would have been ready, we would have been there trying to protect our #3 spot but it wasn’t in the cards for us this year as Eric Clark and the Clark Brothers team snuck by us and claimed that spot. As you’ve all heard Gaylen say at the banquet, he likes speaking last so we will re- group over the winter and came back next year with a vengeance looking to fight off whomever is in our way. Congratulations to Clark Brothers for their top 3 finish.
