Everyone on the property got happy today ---- why you ask ? ? Not only did S/S class elims take place but everyone and I mean everyone got four - count 'em - four qualifing runs in all the different conditions - morning / mid-day and late afternoon .

Speaking of S/S - how about Don Fizell winning the S/S stick combo in his '08 Cobra Jet .Or John Armstrong in his '69 Corvette going 8.92 to win the automatic combo class . Then there's Bob Cupp in his trusty '65 Chevelle winning SS/KA with a convincing 10.31 run .And lets not forget the #1 man - Rich South in his fresh G-5 GT/FA going - 1.180 to take the pole .I could go on and on .......you had to be here .

Now we'll test your memories - when is the last time a small-block powered "Big" car was #1 in Stock ? ? I can't remember but today was Kevin Fogertys as his mile deep black '65 Impala coupe is on the pole and not an easy task but he had his 327 hummin' as he went 11.888 in the process .Congrats to Team Fogerty .............

All in all it was a terrific day here @ Maple Grove - if you didn't comeback it was surely your loss .And if you didn't enter - do so next year .

Yeah - I know it was terrible last week but today was special - and tomorrow looks even better .How am I ever going to fall asleep tonight ..............
