Maple Grove final thoughts -- I wanted to do this last evening but by the time I drug my sorry butte home there was no way - I even fell asleep and missed the ending of the NASCAR race at Charlotte .Anyway , the Stock/SS community took a real hit this weekend as we had more down time from oil on the track than all other classes combined -- not a good thing for sure -- try this -- we had five times more downtime than Alcohol -- believe me the Diapers are coming after this -- my idea is to allow us to install belly pans instead of diapers-that is a possibility I'm told.Yesterday I was "allowed" to see the actual facts and figures in downtime minutes and believe me "they" have a real argument .Let me know your thoughts as this is not going to go away quietly .

Good things -- Yesterday as some of you heard I got to "call" the second round with ESPN's Stat Man and Announcer Louis Bloom -- as much as he does the Pro thing his Sportsman knowledge is unbelieveable - we as stock/ss guys only have to know things about us -- he on the other hand is great on all the Sportsman stuff - my brain would be on overload - next time you see 'em let him know how you feel..........And Louis - thanks for the invite as I had a wonderful time sharing the mike ! !

Sean Gaffney --Not sure if I can join you folks at Napierville this year but that ten G's looks inviting .
Larry -- Quit working and get that new bullet done so we can get some midwest reports - or should we just send Patsy alone ?
Rich B - Not sure how accurate Roy Hill is but it does give racers some hope .
Doug - God willing I'll be at the Valley over Fourth of July .
Mack -- Keep sending in those photos of your loud machine -- somewhere down the road we'll meet up .
Eddie F --Thanks for clearing up the hat deal -- now about that flashing ?
Jerry -- Thanks for the book and the tips .......

And finally Tommy - With me being as busy as I was this past weekend nobody is going to believe that picture you made with Photoshop of me actually working on our car ....................

Englishtown a mear two weeks away .................
