Yo Ken,
It was great to meet you at Maple Grove. Good luck today.

Is the .50-under rule still in effect for class? Do you still have to run at least .50 under the index to win class on a single?

[Ken Miele]

Thanks Frank, same here. Schedule for the day.

With the rain and tragic accident yesterday I beleive trophy goes to fastest first round car.

Wow - SS not out till after 2 pro rotations - would have thought it would be this AM.

In a half an hour we'll have start engines but as you can see from the schedule Kenny posted the S/S racers took another on the chin -- we all understand the Pro show must go on but -- anyway its an agressive deal for sure as the weather doesn't look very good for today with overcast skies at this moment looking like it could rain any second .

Round one of Stock yesterday was kind of a mixed bag with plenty of redlights -- many more than usual late lights and because of the big weather change a great many double breakouts -- and not many dead-ons .

Speaking of weather ------- here it is at this time ----- 30.03 barometer - 72 degrees ----- 63% humidity ---- and a final DA of around 1400 ' .........................later

We've got the steady rain here in central Ma. already, since about 11:00 a.m......more on deck here for tomorrow, unfortunately......hope it bypasses you folks in N.J......WJ

Almost forgot dept. - Best wishes to Amy Casey - daughter of Stock racer Dave Casey - Amy is getting married this weekend ............

As a little side note - some of the Diamomd RV Group were to attend the affair but were given "Special Dispensation" by their wives (who are attending) and are here at this race .

After waiting since this morning S/S finally hit the track at 6pm -- after only a few pairs they stopped when Brinkman went red ten turned right and then hit the left wall- he's OK but the Corvette -- ouch .Walkiwtz got the win with his hemi .

Back to round 1 --Warren over a red Bloom - Barton over a .260 red Sevino - Nick Scardelli over Letellier -- Ray Scardelli goes on -- Franko over the Terminator - Sheehan goes red - Richards over Worner - Bubba goes red - Fletcher over Ficcaci in a close one - Rinehart over Le Brecque -- Linke goes on - Leber wins -ertozzi over Cupp -Iacono wins ...............Stock coming up
