"Live From" Maple Grove D1 LODRS

[Ken Miele]

Hey guys,

Well I final got to a race this year. I wanted to be out sooner, but just couldn't get all my ducks in a row. We are here at the first race in D1 at Maple Grove. Its only Wednesday, but the track opens at 4pm and stays open until dusk. There are about 30 rigs inline, and about 100 rigs already parked because of last weekends racing.

Thursday they have a test and tune from 11am to 5pm. The weather looks mixed, Friday and part of Saturday looks like rain, but you never know with Maple Grove. I think there will be a big turnout in spite of the weather outlook. D1 racers have not had a division race... well it seems like forever.

I'll have lots of photos this weekend and hope to have some in car video action... and maybe I can get some racing in.

Ken, I will see you Friday morning as soon as the gates open at 7:30. I will be taking plenty of pictures, and I am hoping for a huge turnout; can hardly wait!

Hey gang- Who would believe it? They opened the gates early - to start out the season or what ????

I can say Betsy and crew at the Grove have been a pleasure to work with. I have been working with them most of last year and this year to help get the track back to where it used to be. See you all tomorrow!

Good morning members - So last night was a real show here with lightning - big winds and extra heavy rain all night .Now the good news - the Sun is out shining brite and the place is drying out nicely .

In a few hours we'll go into test n tune mode and after a year of waiting it'll be gas fumes and tire smoke .

Gotta go - my morning cup of tea is ready .

Hey folks, like Jack said... sunny and looking great for todays test and tune which should start around 11. I got some early photos for you folks. The first few photos are from yesterday and one right before the heavy rain hit.

Man is it good to be back at the track...
