While there is some downtime -- walking to the scales this morning I realized there was a new edition -- "Scales Maximus" is what I would call this out building - every track should do this -- neat deal for sure .............


Just for your info its now close to 3pm Saturday and S/Comp has yet to make a pass of any kind - maybe we shouldn't complain about our stuff ......................Could it be the NHRA has found a new class to dump on .

I can vouch for that. Jimmy promised and came through with a 6-pack of Yvengling at E-Town.

Thanks Jim!

Just for a moment forget we're in a recession , never mind 10% unemployment , don't talk about what President Obama is doing wrong...............maybe i'm nuts but a whole group of other people thought that way when they got up this morning because this reporter can't remember the last time he's seen this place this full - this isn't Sunday / race day - its still qualifing ......what or who will tomorrow bring ? ?

The Stauffer family hit this one out of the park.........and the Pro fans are getting their money's worth .Kudo's also to Lex Dudas and his crackerjack staff .

Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
 

Jack, as usual your reporting is Top Notch.
But your pictures of 1st round of stock didn't hardly show anyone in the stands on the other side, i guess it was tooo early for people to get up & watch stock elim.

The other thing i was curious about: Why did the spectators have to pay for parking???
$10. & that was inside Maple Grove's lot not on the outside at someone's house.
I never recalled paying for parking here or anywhere else for that matter.

Oh well, keep up the good reporting.

Jack is right..... this place is packed!
I have never seen this many fans on a non-sunday!
Yesterday was almost as packed.... I'm sure this will be a record breaking weekend for MG.

Also... the $10 parking was along side the track (on spectator side), the track did offer free parking to the right and left of the track.

Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
 

I went up Friday morning, got there about 9, parked in the field on the pit side, behind the staging lanes maybe 50 yards from the gate. Cost me $10. Look up on that hill. How many thousands of cars do you think are there? x 3 days!
