Word from the tower @ Maple Grove today

[BlueOval Ralph]

and what is a Pontiac Pro show?? some auto make that was? Like Mercury, Edsel, Plymouth, DeSota, Willy's, Kaiser, Nash, Oldmobile, Saturn and on ad on. It is a real shame that GM through Drag Racing under the bus when they Kept NASCAR, ALMS ROLEX and now the Caddy's in SCCA WC!

Looks like a Pontiac show at Topeka this weekend! Only see one "Blue Oval" on the qualifing sheet in Pro Stock. Those GXP's, by the way are Pontiacs, not bad for a company that doesn't exsit!

The Pontiac Pro show I was referring to were a few early Tempests with big inch "REAL" Pontiac engines that ran in the Eights and were a booked in show ......BTW -they were there today because it was "Pontiacs at the Grove" this weekend .

If the track isnt a concern, just the pits, why not consider racing say Super Street, Super Gas, Super Comp, Stock and Super Stock only so everyone could park on hard ground. The make up date could feature Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Comp and Alcohol and what ever else isnt complete. Get something in the books. How can you predict weather wont be a factor on the make up date?

Good idea Byron. Wouldn't that be a great race? Works for me.

Nothing has been decided.

Jack, I'm not going to name names but it was a full time Maple Grove employee who I've known for over thirty years. Ultamately is Bob's decision but I'm just glad to hear that at least there is discussion rather than just bringing everyone in to sit around. I live 40 minutes from the track, I'll be there but I'd rather be there to race not just exercise my trailer.

1)Look at the weather forcast for the next 10 days for Mohnton Pa.
2)I wish I had access to a H/D wrecker.Let's see,extract a motorhome/Renegade and
stacker from the "field",at $100 a pop?Wow,instant racing budget for 2011,and maybe enough left over for an engine puff up for 2012.

i am leaving tue at 7:00 am
who can i call to get info

[Charlie Yannetti]

Cancel on Tuesday??.. HEY ED!!!.. did they say they would cancel on Tuesday??.. I for one would think NOT.. they might cancel after they get everyone in the gate and the entries paid.. but not on Tuesday..

Much more economical to hand out rain checks and collect interest, than cancel on Tuesday.. but that's just me.. Hazelnut with milk and sugar please, hold the soapbox...
