On the "Missing " list this weekend is Joe DeMarzo who is staying home this Memorial Day weekend to take care of his daughter who recently took ill and is on the mend - we're thinking about you Joey and hoping she gets well soon .

And not to worry my friend as I've got plenty of volunteers to take care of your after dinner treat ................

Mike, I will try to get Denny to do a in car cam. Its hard to do a stocker in car cam when I am running in the same class. I have updated my equipment and can use a app on my phone to start the camera, but I have to be close to the car. Placement of the camera makes it tough for drivers to turn it on when they are strapped in. I will do my best.

Don, I think Jack is waiting for tomorrow to unleash his COPO, he does not like second place. Don't worry, Jack will be getting what he always gets at Christmas.

Michael Beard sent me some radomvphotos, thanks Mike.

Wish I could've made the first hit... Was right up there with bob, than had the delay and I had to load up and go to work! I was bummed!! :(

Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

Anyone know the run order today? I saw Stock was up first for Q2 but that was all it mentioned.

Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

Holy cow - what a difference today .Sunshine and blue skies but cold very , very cold as right now its only high forties with expected temperatures to be only low sixties this afternoon with a slight breeze . Brrrrrrrr - furnace ran all night .Did I mention this coming Friday at Englishtown its to be 90 degrees ..........Hmmmmmm .

Dinner last night ? Yep - Shady Maple, couldn't turn down an offer from Lenny and Dawn Croteau from Ultimate Converters along with Marc and Joanne LaBrecque from Diamond RV .Even the women enjoyed themselves with some shopping after the fine meal we had .

I understand we're back on schedule today with Stock going out at 8:30 .........later ! !

Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

"Slight breeze" is forecast to be 17-22 mph sustained all day. We may hit mid 60s today but it's not going to feel like it! The wind has been simply biting.

I still don't understand the thinking behind starting back at the top of the order. They did it at Atco the other year too, more than once, which left some classes making three runs before some classes were ever on the track. I was really anxious to make a hit in the Volare yesterday. You'd figure they would pick up where they left off.

Time to get around!

They always use Stock or SuperStreet to "prep/test" the track.

Wish I was there!
