Jack, what SuperStockers got sent to the barn? And who got bounced?

Sal Biondo · 08-22-2009, 12:51 PM

Bob Phillips was in the barn.. not sure who else.

S/S just ran first round after water coming up in between runs.. also some breakage... 2-1/2 hours in the lanes.. results will be up soon I am sure..

BTW, (verified by my daughter) - the tooth fairy DOES make it to Maple Grove Raceway.

Yeah, but was she (he?) generous enough? That's the question. Jim

Everyone is just chomping at the bit to get this race going and maybe today it will happen .Even at this early hour I'm hearing sweepers and vacumn's working on the track in preparation for final elimations .Even though its not a "Chamber of Commerce" day as they say its not bad -- a little cloudy with the Sun peaking thru in places ( see pic below ) . After the Pro's got cut off last night things were not looking up but the outlook is much better now for finishing on time .The place was once again packed before the storm came last night .

Today is milder weather wise - just a little -- 73 degrees - 67 vp - 29.22 barometer - 77% humidity 2800 ' DA but don't let these numbers fool you as its burning off fast this morning ( morning dew etc ) .

Got to spend a little time with my old Tech buddy Travis Miller ( see pic) and it was really nice exchanging tech thoughts and talking about the "good 'ole days" .

Its 7am -- how do I know for sure ? The Jet is running on the track -- a very good sign this morning .....later .

Thank you Jack and Thomas for the updates and pictures. I always look forward to the reports you both give from the races you attend.

Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.
