Good afternoon all, yes its only Tuesday, but lets get this started anyway. Its a little chilly and overcast today in the mid 50's. We had some rain early, but it has stop and the sun is trying to come out. Forecast for the week is mixed with a slight chance of rain. Over all it looks to be a good week weather wise. Thursday being the best day for the go fast guys as it will warm up each day until Sunday.
There are about 50 rigs inline and although the stacking area is solid, there are lots of mud puddles as you navigate to stack. If you rig is clean try to avoid them, I know I couldn't. According to the NHRA website, parking starts at 7AM. This should make for a better parking experiences over last year. Getting an early starts seems to help out a lot. |

Once there were 128 entries for stock and super stock. But no. we need room for all the tents and such. And now pro et. Good Grief. |

I guess this is the "new norm" at National Events.

It is the top 8 PRO ET cars from Englishtown's weekly bracket program allowing them the opportunity to win a Wally. I think each track hosting a national event is entitled to have a special race because Maple Grove has one as well. I think it is a good thing and good for fans to see what bracket racing is as well as deserved exposure for those racers who run on a weekly basis. A fan has a much better chance of starting his or her racing career in a weekend bracket program rather than a class car.

Generally speaking I don't usually get in on these conversations. I've been racing in Stock for a long time including two cars for the last 3-4 years and have maintained a grade point of 5 or higher until the last 3 years due to personal reasons. I've been trying to race National events last year and this year to no avail because of my GP. Then I see they have snowmobiles, bracket racers,275 racers etc. What right do they have over me? I will be going to more div. races to get my GP up but in the mean time I must watch guys with no GP get in.
