Maple Grove is once again.... "THE place to be!".
If you haven't been here... you gotta get here.
96 stockers on friday.... and we ain't done yet! (nothin like it... anywhere!).

thanks to my buddy Vic Guilmino... who has taken the task of posting his pics this week from his very own photobucket account. (great job Vic!... keep up the good camera work!)

thanks also to Jim Boburka for his very own "HELMET CAM".....
I'll try and post a few of his videos he captured.... (remember, i'm no Toby.... the quality will be nowhere near his stellar video efforts (Toby,,,, you raised the bar!)...

Here is Jim Boburka's first time trial this morning..... (hope it works)....

JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE BELOW (with your left mouse button).

Tomn, those cam shots were great.One critique though.The volume was a bit high.Lots of distortion.Probably wouldn't be a problem in my car though.:>):>)

Also,I believe that Challenger is the one that was put together by Tom Goldman.Nice car,
real nice workmanship.

Tom,

Great pics as always...thanks for sharing. Ed's right, the mystery dragpak was built by Tom Goldman and is owned/driven by Alex Cortezzo. Tom has my Duster in his shop and told me quite a bit about Alex's car...we also got to see it at the Atco Open last month. Really nice work on that car for sure.

Re: pics from Maple Grove D1... from sheehan
 
Awesome pics Mr. Sheehan. Sure looks pretty nice there as well. Keep them coming.
That red SS/CA cuda, is that a relatively new car. Looks like one that was on moparts with build pics. Painted by Bucky Hess. Beautiful car. If not sorry for the confusion.

thomas sheehan 05-27-2011 09:35 PM

Re: pics from Maple Grove D1... from sheehan
 
Ed/Tom...... thanks for ID'ing the mystery car #1 (Goldman/Cortezzo car).

Is he running it here?.... or just after a grade point?... I didn't see his name on the q-list.


Ironside.... thats the first time I saw the cuda also..... i'm not sure if it's the same one or not.... sorry.

As usual you seem to be going somewhere with the "mystery car" of the event ,you make it that much more exciting Tom,we are all appreciative for the time you put in bringing us to the event with your pics and video and your focus going deep in rounds,Thanks and good luck this weekend.

Great videos and pictures, Tom.

I see Jim doesn't use a two-step. Cool. Real men don't use two-steps. I wish they would get rid of them.

Tom,

The gold colored Duster a few lines above, at the scale, do you
have a name?

Toby Lang 05-28-2011 04:54 PM

Re: pics from Maple Grove D1... from sheehan
 
Philip, according to DRC that's Donald Wilgis.

Tom, didn't they used to hand out time slips from the little shack just after you turned off the track? I noticed in the videos you guys drove by the shack. I haven't been there since 2005, so maybe I'm remembering wrong. Where do you get your time slips now?

They give you time slips by the scales at the national you get them at the little shack after you make the turn.

Toby Lang 05-28-2011 06:06 PM

Re: pics from Maple Grove D1... from sheehan
 
Thanks, Dennis. I think I remember that now. Been a while since I've been to a divisional there. That's a long wait to see what you've run if you're in the back as there's always a lot of cars at that race. Now I do remember people having to walk up to the scales to get their slips.

Hopefully, I will race there again someday. I won my first race in the Whale there in 1998 against Brian VP.

thomas sheehan 05-28-2011 09:31 PM

Re: pics from Maple Grove D1... from sheehan
 
Toby.... Dennis is correct.
Time slips are given out at the little shack at the nationals. We get them at the scales at the points meets.
