Good morning all - Welcome to the 45th edition of the Lucas Oil race here at Maple Grove Park .Plenty of history in the last 45 years here and today it will continue .

We are scheduled to start in less than an hour with Stockers getting on the track first .Don't expect any fabulous times as it's already above 2400 feet and climbing fast .The barometer is at a paltry 29.49 with the humidity above 60 percent .

Here are a few more pics from yesterdays test n tune ........

So what's the problem about going fast? The weather conditions would be considered go here in the Mid West. You will be hard pressed to get a station pressure of 29.49 here (Indy). Normal high here is around 29.20-29.35. Just put the Indy tune up and go race.

Does anyone do a live video feed of this race ? Like how D3tv does for division 3 ?

[Jack Matyas]

So far Stock and SuperStreet got their shot at the track and as advertised it's a bit slow .S/S up in a bit .Timing tower is having some computer problems so as soon as sheets are available i'll post 'em .

As you'll see our division hitters are in attendance ...........With more coming next round.

Unfortunately there is no live feed from this race.

For you weather junkies, these were the numbers for stocks first qualifying shot.
Temp 83
Humd 53%
Bar 29.50
DA 2893

A few shots from this morning, John Gray brought his newly painted 69 Camaro, very cool.

Jack thanks for the updates.....live timing is not working yet

Temps have reach into the low 90's and its been a long day. We have had a few oil downs. Super Stock had 30 minute oil down and a Alcohol car just dumped oil from the starting line to the 1/8 mile, it looks like it will be a long delay.


Here some shots of the pits and in the lanes....
