Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series
 

Today the Lucas Oil Series has finally come to Division One and the racers have turned out for sure as there are plenty parked and ready for the test n tune this afternoon .

Weather ?? So nice here today that I may never want to go home - what a difference a few days have made concerning the forecast - the high this afternoon is to be in the low nineties and partly sunny .For the next two days there is a possibility of a thunder storm in the afternoons but not enough to wash out the event .

I took a few pictures and will post them later after I find my lost card reader .............

Sounds like the weather is so nice & you are so excited that you forgot where you were??!!

I'll be driving north through PA on Sunday on my way to the farm for 9 weeks of summer R&R. (which means countless hours mowing in the tractor and cutting 20 cords of firewood)

Wish I was going to the track instead!!!

Hi gang and welcome to Summer - at least here at Maple Grove Park .Today was hot and ugly , the way we're used to in the Northeast .To say it was slow at this afternoons test session would be an understatment for sure .The track was just OK but the weather was at over 4000 ' so what else would you expect .

As for me I had to unhook my trailer and head to my shop for "parts" as I had my Springtime stuff on the car and Summer is now upon us .

At this moment I'm sitting on route 222 where I've been for more than an hour without moving one inch ...........later .I'll get back to the track tonight ......soon I hope .

Good morning - Even though I don't have a car count yet it looks like the racers have chosen to spend the Memorial Day weekend here at Maple Grove Raceway as when they opened the gates this AM the trailers rolled in .

Its a picture perfect end of Spring day with the Sun out and the temp already in the low seventies .The grass here is still a little damp from last nights mini shower but will burn off fast I'm sure .

If you're on the fence about coming my advise is to load-up and head over ..............
