Good morning gang - I just am having a hard time with this weather as here it is Memorial Day weekend and I could write that there is 'frost on the pumpkin' .Last night it again was cold and usually we'd hear generators running air conditioning systems but only furnaces ran because of the 40 degree temps .

This morning the Sun is shining brite and in a few hours we'll finally get started with elims and thank God it is supposed to warm up a bit today .At this moment its 59 degrees with 44% humidity and a 29.50 barometer with a final DA of just over 1000 feet .

SuperStock did finally get their second Q shot last but for some reason most were slow by 5 or 6 and on top of that about half way through there was a big Hemi explosion in the lights and after working on the track for 45 minutes they decided to finish with just one lane running .But at least they got to finish .

After that it was a run by the Jet followed by fireworks and most were too cold and tired ( including this reporter ) to do anything else .So much for Holiday Bar-b-ques .

Later with more ...........

First round of Stock is over and Super Stock has been called to the lanes.
It was 2 slower for me today, and it seemed as if some were a few quicker and some a few slower. The wind was more of cross today and the starting line look good. Having said that, Jack our live reporter, although he won first round got a little out of shape and had to lift in the middle of his will stand.

Here are few more photos from yesterday, including Billy Nees with his Under the index for under a grand! 79 Grand Prix pictured below. Billy did win first round, nice job Billy.

Now that I've got some fresh drawers I can get back to work and some serious racing .First round of Stock had much excitement and some very close racing and I'm glad to say both the BethlehemAutoSales.com entries are moving on to Round 2 .

SuperStock is to run shortly stay tuned .......

:eek: That shifter handle moved by itself. What is that ? probably just SS legal ?

Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

Air/electric shift been legal for several years in SS. "Computer cars" (newer F.I. cars) in stock are permitted E-shift as well.
