Just glanced back over the Stock ladder, I can,t remember seeing so many potential heads up runs in AAuto BA, EA,GA and HA .
Unususal because it was random pair first round.
Left side of ladder loaded with A cars, right side with the B cars.

Re: Live from NHRA- Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Class
 

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to EVERYONE who raced at the Dutch. This was the 3rd year for my son and I and we had a blast as usual. It is obvious how much time and effort (and money) you guys put into racing and we feel privileged to be fans.

Everyone we chatted with were just as nice as could be. Special thanks to Bob Bender for taking the time to talk and tell us about the car. A Super Comp guy let my son sit in his car for pics. That just the kind of stuff a 14 year old will never forget.

So once again, THANK YOU!!! See you next season at the Lucas Oil event at the Grove.

Re: Live from NHRA- Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Class
 

Congrats to all the winners today at Maple Grove! Hard to think that the season is all over....feels like most of us were just getting loaded up and heading to Virgina or Atco. Hard to believe that is the rumors are true the Dutch will be in September next year!

Congrats to all the winners and all of the Record Setters especially my buddy Bob Bender one of Division Ones best, most colorful characters. Take note that the season isn't really over there still is one great race at Hagerstown on Nov. 3rd and 4th guaranteed not to disappoint.

Where did you hear that?

Re: Live from NHRA- Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Class
 

Hi kids -Sorry I had to ditch you early Sunday but I had eye surgery waiting for me @ 6am Monday morning and I promised to rest a little before then .Anyway after losing third round ( with an .005 light I might add so who needs eye surgery ) I was hanging around the bosses pit ( who was driving the Hawk n Cook Cobra Jet ) until he lost - just after that a strange bird kept circling around his pit for 5 or ten minutes - think maybe the bird knew something - BTW , Ken lost because of a tardy light .........Hmmmmm. True story - even I couldn't make this deal up .

I'll get to the rest of my shots .........Honest injun ! ! !

Re: Live from NHRA- Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Class
 

I ran into a reliable source on Sunday afternoon and we got to talking about next year's schedule because I run a lot of the .90 Associations here on the EC and he just happened to mention that the Dutch would be considerably earlier next year. Like I said just "hear-say" but, I was told before the National Event which would throw it into September. Won;t know anything till the D-1 Schedule is released in November.

Re: Live from NHRA- Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Class
 

The Hawk and Cook CJ is one the best looking cars I have ever seen. Runs pretty well too!
Congratulations to them.

Re: Live from NHRA- Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Class
 

Saw the rumor here about the Dutch date moving and it is not true.

Maple Grove posted the dates of some of their big events in 2013 and the Dutch is listed October 17-20. Even a week later than this year.

seems like the dutch draws more cars than the national

Re: Live from NHRA- Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Class
 

And a more fun race to go to.

Re: Live from NHRA- Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Class
 

Gonna be tired, going Maple Grove -> Memphis -> Maple Grove, but at least that's one race that's not on top of Memphis next year. Been a long time since I've been to the Dutch. Be great to make it next year.
