Latest update..... pits are drying out nicely and they could park us if they wanted to. I guess the key word is "wanted".
As you can see the sun is out, although it is still on the cool side. Here a shot of the mud wrestling pit, they started clearing early this morning, it should be a fun day tomorrow. |

Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
Why can't Maple Grove PAVE part of the grass area where all of us sportsman racers park ???
They just need to pave where the tires go on the tow vechicles or at least put stone down, then it wouldn't be such a mud bowl. I felt sorry for all you guys that went to Gainesville that year and couldn't take your cars out to Sunday. That's just plain B.S. And we pay $270. for entry fee..... We need to start our own organization: SHRA.... where we call the shots... |

I asked Lex the very same thing and was told the field is leased and they can make no improvements on it...............Who else remembers when NHRA drilled holes in the track at Englishtown to "relieve" the pressure??.......I went thru the traps sideways,and had water dripping out of the fenderwells at that race!......must have had 40 workers with white towels mopping up after every pair.................Tom |
Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
Man after what you guys and gals went thru last week at ATCO I hope it isn't another lost weekend. Two weeks in a row ( fuel, entry, race gas, food, hotel, blah blah blah gets expensive) when no racing takes place. Good luck.

Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
Tom,
I've heard the "leased field" excuse before as well, but lets be serious. Do you really think the farmer that they've leased the field from for DECADES would actually tell them "uh, no...you can't put any stone down...at your expense...I'm not having any of that..." Sorry, but to me, that doesn't pass the "reasonable man test". Call me cynical, but I call bull****... |
Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
Today's weather calls for a high of 72 with the temp a chilly 54 degrees this morning - good news is that almost no rain is called for today ( 20 % chance ) - its to be Sunny all day if you can believe the forecasters - high humidity but some will burn off ..........things are looking up for sure .Tomorrow is even looking better with 78 degrees expected and a barometer in the high 29's .......................

Well the rain is a thing of the past, blue skies and bright sunshine for today and the rest of the weekend.
I just finishing talking to the NHRA officials. They will start parking at 9 am. No saving spots, if you want to park next to someone, you have to wait in the field and go in with them. The are sending Tech out to the field to tech us in while we wait to be park. |
