Live from Maple Grove Raceway - NHRA Auto Plus Nationals

[Jack Matyas]

OK - So we've sitting around for hours and told every story we can remember - what to do now ? Some folks - myself included went shopping - not many people in the stores and many bargains - why not take advantage ? Some however were buying questionable items - you decide which .What goes on in motorhomes ......well you get the rest .

The Sun has been in and out many,many times today but not much rain - and thats' all the good news I have to report .All kinds of rumors coming back from the track - but until I confirm them they will stay secret .We all should stay away from that sort of thing as nothing good can come out of it . Ever .........

PS- If you're ever going to pose for a picture for me be sure of your surroundings .But compared to Toby I'm harmless .............

Think Toby will be arm-less when Mark and Brad swing (no pun, honest guys) back out west....retribution will be a righteous thing indeed, LOL.

Forget having the carshow Oct 8th just unload all the trailers now and cruise around the parking lot! It really is ashame that this race has put such a bad taste in sportsman racers mouths. This used to be one of the events I couldn't wait to get to, now I haven't been there in over 4 years and don't see myself entering anytime soon!

Hope to see everyone on Friday as I'm playing hooky from work to maybe come watch 1st round, if not I'll see some of you at Numidia next weekend for the .90 race

I took a ride out to the track. This is just my opinion on the condition of how the holding area we usually go to is before entering the track and also the pit area parking.

The ground was solid for the holding area. The pit area has the usual soft spots but there was still some good area's to park. I have seen it a lot worse at this track. I would assume they know what's best and that the pit area is still not ready to hold us.

I can not confirm this, but I'm pretty sure the decision will be made tomorrow whether they let us in or postponed stk, ss, sg and sc. No word on were or when, it all depends on if it rains tonight and tomorrow.

As you can see the weather is nice with the sun shining with a nice breeze. I guess its all up to the rains gods now.

Just an opinion, but NHRA should have had a Tech staff here at the VF lot getting us teched in if they were serious about getting us in and running anytime this week.

Racers are still pulling in this afternoon ,so i guess we all are eternal optimists.
probably about 160 or so rigs and they are soon going to run out of space.
Looks like there might be room for about 35-40 more rigs before the lots are full.

[John DiBartolomeo]

Well, I think the rain gods just spoke and they might have more to say pretty soon.

I am NOT completely amazed on the fact that there hasn't been ONE Nhra official in this hell hole of a parking lot today! I shake my head as to how stupid we all are. Where are you?? Can you hear me you fat %€<~!

[vic guilmino]

well it just rain like hell in the hell hole

[Joe DeMarzo]

I guess that means I should stay home?

Well you are right . NHRA just thinks we are peons , they don't care if we race or not . They do not care how much it cost Sportsman Racers to come to the track to race . All they want is the money. If NHRA had a lick of kindness they would give part of the entry fee back to the racers sitting in the parking lot.Seeing as they will not get all the runs expected. ONLY MY 2 CENTS
