Live from Maple Grove - 43rd P.C.Richard PA Dutch Classic
 

Hi gang - Seems like I was just there a few days ago and am not yet there but will be soon as work got in the way again .As most of you already know today was time trials all day and record runs to boot .The only record I could confirm was set by our own Marc LaBrecque in GT / TC - 9.98 @130 but won't be official until after teardown tomorrow morning .

Others - Frank Ferrucci - J/SA
Jerry McNeish - D/S
Jason Kinash - L/SA
Dave Mitchell - K/SA
Dave Thomas - SS/EA
Joe Mendillo - E/M ?
Rich Oakes - SS/CX?
And these will also have to teardown in the AM as well .

More as info becomes available ..........

Hi Jack-

Any idea how late they're parking people tonight?
I guess I should also ask if there are any pit spots left!

Thanks,
Eddie Bolton

So is there any real barometer there this weekend?? Because there sure wasn't last weekend at the National that's for sure..

What is the run schedule for Friday.

Re: Live from Maple Grove - 43rd P.C.Richard PA Dutch Class
 

Good morning - Welcome to day two @ the Classic .At this moment the Sun is coming up and it could turn out to be a very nice Fall day.Want numbers ? The barometer is steady at 29.53 ( so much for mineshaft conditions ) with the humidity at 64% but with the Sun helping some will burn off .Temp at 48 and the VP at a low .22 withe a final DA of 232' which should make it a faster day than yesterday .We'll see ..........

Anyhow - tech will be open in an hour and there is still plenty of great pit space available so if you're on the the fence all I can say is saddle up and get over here ........Later .

The full schedule is posted under daily info on the Div 1 site, on fri tt's start at 930, stock class starts with the second tt

The baro is good, not great, was only 30perc humidity yesterday, the temp is key.

Looks like the rain will hold off for awhile or maybe all day

the car count is low currently for this event, but rigs have been pulling in and the weather has taken a turn for the better.

42 degrees this am, 36 yesterday

We have our 1st certified national record this morning already thru tech at 920 am

Mark Markow set the SS/TB at 9.02,,,, he was at the teardown at 8 am is done ,P & G'd , measured and carb inspected and a ok.

Congrats to our resident chassis builder Mark and his wife Stephanie, great people and friends.


The pits are filling up, stock is up momentarily, no other cars in tear down, there is however 1 truck, Marc LaBrecque is apart and going thru currently, I believe most others are going to take another shot this morning before going to teardown
