Hi Jack. I'm a bit surprised about that. Lucky too. Please drop an xl tee-shirt off to Ally Doll or Al Smyth if they attend as I'm at home in Syracuse routing from a distance.
Thanks so much.

Hey guys, we made it. Thanks Jack for getting this thread going. I pulled in around 1pm... no line The stacking area was empty, Dan and the parking crew did another bang up job... just like Indy. I did find a few cars out. I also did a video rolling into the track along with a ride through of the pits. It will be up later.

Tomorrow Stock is out first at 9am. We get 2 shots tomorrow and Stock goes into Class. Super Stock gets 3 qualifiers. The weather for this week looks great with highs in the upper 70's and no rain in the forecast.

I see Indy SS winner Pete D'Agnolo is not attending Maple Grove in SS or Comp .. thought close to home would be there

Re: Live from Reading,PA - NHRA PEP BOYS Nationals
 

Good morning Kenny and to all,
Thank you for the ride!
i always felt Maple Grove Raceway was a beautiful race track, and it looks like the "New" owners have done a Bang Up job of keeping it that way.
Best of luck to all the competitors and safe racing to all.

Respectfully,
Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA

P.S. Thank You Jack for your great pictures.

I’m a few trailers down from Jack. First time here (or anywhere in D1 land) and it’s a cool place! If you’re 2 blocks from any entrance, you wouldn’t know there’s a track here.

Re: Live from Reading,PA - NHRA PEP BOYS Nationals
 

Hey guys, I know its late the in the day... its just been a hectic day. We had a oil down that took one hour to clean up. They had to go back a prep the track a few times after the oil down. Super Gas was running and they spinning down track... It was a bad oil down, or should I say Trans fluid oil down. A Super Gas car oiled almost the entire track when trans line broke. Stock was in the lanes at that time, over an hour sitting there.

I have videos and lots of photos, I will try to get them upload as soon as I can... please check back later.
