Great news -- the water has gone away overnight and the ark we built yesterday afternoon is no longer needed .Today looks like it can turn out super even with lower temperatures today - a high around sixty is expected .The barometer at this moment is 29.45 with 53 % humidity which may burn off with the Sun coming out- the temp is 54 degrees but the vapor pressure is low at .24 -almost half of what it has been all weekend--all this adds up to a final DA around 700 -- not so bad and certainly faster than it has been all week .The expected start is to be 8:30 but I don't think so -- a little later for sure .The Jets have been running for about an hour or so and more than likely will for awhile .Headlights were running up and down the track most of the night trying to suck-up all the water that was standing and did a pretty good job .

After the storm we had yesterday today's outlook is terrific and it will be a busy day but one filled with some terrific racing for sure .

Both the NHRA and Maple Grove staff seemed a little short this weekend but worked their collective buttes off getting us this far along - kudos for them are in order -- this is another race where they had to work above and beyond -- and they performed well ! ! ! Way to go guys ..............
