Hi gang - What a way to start the year off - maybe many of you were right all these years and I wasn't listening - maybe it does follow me around - you know that wet stuff .After all of those bad days at Maple Grove I thought it was over until a few minutes before we left yesterday afternoon to come here - then I black cloud showed up and just kept coming and coming.

But today is a new deal - Hot and Sunny with temp around ninety - too bad we and everyone else will have to stay here in staging limbo until tomorrow morning .

Back a little later .........

NHRA should have kept Class Runoffs for SS here instead of Maple Grove, 4 days after Indy...

35 SS cars for an East Coast National Event is brutal! But now the program will be done in time for all the sportsman to be able to go to the beach and enjoy great New England cuisine...try The Sea Catch Restaurant in North Hampton.

Sad days!

Good morning all - Parking has started as promised at 8 am on this drop dead beautiful New England day - sunny with the temp in the mid seventies .Rigs are moving at a very slow pace and it will more than likely be an all day affair .
