"Live" from the Keystones 2016

Larry Hill · 09-25-2016, 12:57 PM

We are on our way!

Just pulled out from St. Louis and on the road for the 835 mile trip to Maple Grove for the Keystones and the Dutch Classic! We have never been to the Dutch and to the Keystones only once in 1996! We said then that we wouldn't go back because those Yankees were so mean to us but I figure we have Jack Matyas and the Boss who can protect us now!

Looking forward to some cooler weather and seeing some old friends and making new ones!

Hi gang - Well it seems we're being invaded by some of those Southerners again but not to worry as this Damn Yankee was on the job early this morning at the perfectly manicured Maple Grove Raceway .The 32nd edition of the NHRA Dodge Nationals already has a few rows of entrants waiting to park with many more expected this afternoon after the East Coast Stock-Super Stock race is completed at Atco Raceway .For those coming in go to gate 4 and you'll be directed to your lane .

Hoping the weatherman is wrong , as he usually is .
After weeks of little or no rain ,there is a chance of rain predicted for Wed thru Fri. ...But this is Div 1 and this is the Keystones , We've been thru rain ,floods and hurricanes and we still race !
On the positive side ,the pits are so dry ,any rain will soak in right away instead of making them into a mess.
Larry ,you and all my Stock and SS friends should be flying if it stays dry , Highs in the mid to high 60's during qualifying !

At Indy I told you that you will love the Dutch; and believe me, you will have a great time. I will see you bright and early on Thursday Oct.6.
