Sept 12 & 13th at Maple Grove Raceway - TS & TD Shootout

[BKSG1198]

Top Dragster: 13
Top Sportsman: 13

As of this morning, really hope were waiting to see what the weather looks like before entering, really would suck to have a big race put together for you guys and have minimal support for it.

We've added a Test & Tune for $55.00 on Friday, September 11th, 2020 from 11am to 3pm. We will open the gates at 10am for parking also.

Entry list as of this morning. Remember we're going off of NHRA rules on dial-ins, I know a few tracks to gain cars they up it to 8.50 or 9.00 to gain more cars, we're not going to do that, the same rules you see at a NHRA D1 race will be the same as you see here. TD cutoff is 7.70 and TS is 7.99 and were going to try to take 48 cars, so no fear of not making the show. You may double enter if you want, say you want to run SC and TD as long as the car has all the up to date chassis certs and all the proper safety equipment is worn.

Since we had a rain-out on Saturday at Maple Grove for the .90 Race, we have a few extra contingency items left over and rather then have them go to waste, I figured it would only be right to give them back to the racers, so we're adding:

3 - $50 Jegs Gift Card
3 - $100 Jegs Gift Card
3 - $100 Meziere Gift Certificates
9 - $25 VP Gift Certificates
All winners and Runner-Ups will get a Contingency Connection Certificates used for discounts on numerous products!

All these items (except the contingency connection certificates) will be random draws to be given away for ALL Racers!!

Looking like the NHRA D1 race at Maple Grove will be a go on September 25-27th, for those wondering about this weekend and can trailers be left at the track....

Yes they can be:
#1 - You will have to fill out a form at the base of the tower
#2 - You will have to move the trailer by the tech barn, beats having to tow it back home and having to pay the tolls again.

So yet another reason to come out and hang with us this weekend!

Results from the Inaugural .90 Nationals and Top Sportsman / Dragster Shootout at the Grove.

In total we had 26 TD and 16 TS show up and even with lower then expected numbers we still paid out $2,500 to the winner in each class. John Taylor and his company Mid-Atlantic Chemical threw up an additional $500 to Sundays winners in both classes. Bobby Vojtila, Ken & Debbie Moses threw together a special High-Roller TD /TS Shootout Race Saturday Night. This was run similar to how the Pro Comp Class is run out in D7, so dragsters ran door cars till a winner was decided. Vojtila threw up an additional $500 to the winner in this event for Saturday Night. With 21 cars entered it came down to two dragsters in the final of Phil Mollichella (West Chester, Pa) and Greg Kelly (Hainesport, NJ) in the finals. Mollichella would take the victory on a hole-shot (.003 to .060) as Kelly was closer to his dial in of a 6.698 on his 6.69 dial but, Mollichella took the victory with a 7.133 on a 7.120 dial.

In Top Sportsman Bill Janke (Newburgh, NY) took the Number 1 spot with a 6.548 at 217.14 in his brand-new Camaro. In the final though it was Dave Muller (Pennington, NJ) taking his 2000 Camaro to the final to match-up with Dave Miller (Canterbury, Ct) and his sharp 2000 S-10 pick-up. Muller mowed down the tree with a .004 reaction time to Millers .051 and legged it out to a 7.614 on the 7.58 dial to Miller’s 6.968 on the 6.94 dial. Turning our attention to Top Dragster Al Kenny (Kutztown, Pa) took the top spot with a 6.136 at a whopping 222.55mph. Kenny wasn’t done with claiming the top spot through as he found himself in the finals against Maple Grove Regular David Batchelor (Lebanon, Pa). At the flash of green Kenny took a big advantage (.015 to .056) and parlayed that into a 6.215 on the 6.20 dial to Batchelor’s 7.034 on the 7.02 dial.

Thank you all that came out and attended this race, hope to have some news on something for 2021 very soon!
