Stock ran its last Q run at 10am and Super Stock is running now.

First Rd will be later.

Interesting 1st round in Stock and Super Stock. Lots of red lights (both sides), lots of tires blown off, and at least three instances of racers breaking out after their opponent was way back, coasting down the track. Good luck to all tomorrow.

Hi kids - So for the last day and a half I've been fighting Internet woes as sometimes happens on the road .That said if you aren't here you are surely missing out on a whopper of a race.

Roll call ........

First thing is our almost resident journeyman announcer Alan Rinehart is back on he mike and most whom I've spoke with can't be happier about it. Second is Penny Bender is on the grounds even with her medical issues she is here cheering on her husband who is on to rd2 tomorrow.And then there is Russ Wernes who had a medical issue yesterday and was hospitalized overnight with a bunch of tests taken but was sent home late today but came back to the track first to let us know he's ok.

Next thing is the Stock and S/S qualifying yesterday and this morning - this reporter is not pleased with the 'new' NHRA horsepower rule this year - it brought back 1000' runs - adding plenty of extra weight - and detuning - certainly not much fun to watch and against having good Stock and S/S runs for sure .Want it stopped - let your Rep (Marty Rinehart) know about how you feel - give 'em a call - send a email or whatever but do something .With very decent air here and 118 Stock entries there were only 2-count 'em two one second under qualifying runs .Kinda tells the story.

As for rd 1 of Stock today there were plenty of redlights - some spinning of high HP cars but also some very close racing but it shows Stock
and S/S are alive and well in D1.

More later ............

Good morning all, the weather for today... perfect. You could not ask for a better D1 race at Maple Grove. Sunny skies with the the temps in the mid 70's again today. The Juniors will be out first followed by Super Street, Stock will be third out. All categories are in the second round, Alcohol ran their eliminations yesterday, so we should have a smooth day and finish on time.

This may be my last post until I get home. I am still in, but plan to hit the road as soon as I am eliminated. Top end shots from round one in Stock...
