Maple Grove 50th Anniversary Stk / SS Series

Angelo DiTocco · 12-06-2011, 07:00 PM

Marty - Maple Grove is a great track & I think its a fine idea.

Were you thinking of 5 separate one day events? or a few combined (2 day/ 2 race) events?

Also - if some could be timed right before or after the divisional race - it would be a plus - if competitors could leave their trailers.... save some towing time/expense etc.

We are in with two cars. If this series is a go, I'd plan my racing around this series first! Great track, more racing. All for double race weekends as well.

The more races, the merrier. The ECSS race during Super Chevy was great. We were treated like kings. I would be on board 100% if these races did not conflict with the East Coast Stock Superstock races.

How about if one or more of these events had class eliminations, much like they do at the Dutch Classic?

Speaking only for myself, I don't care if a class win is worth any money, a trophy will do. But then again, if one of the five races put a little money up for either class wins or CIC style combo, even better.

Better still: a separate combo CIC for traditional and modern cars.

Great idea. Conflicts are always a concern , so lets try and get schedules out asap.

Marty Rinehart Jr · 12-06-2011, 08:43 PM

As far as the 2 races in one tow, I am all for that myself. In these economic times, we as racers and track operators need to save where we can.

The subject of NHRA and IHRA legal also came up. Lex wants to have the cars at legal weight. This means going over the scales and enforcing weight factors. Of course, will be up to Maple Grove Officials.

The schedule will first have to fit Maple Groves 2012 schedule and then NHRA, IHRA and Dave Ley's ECSSSA Schedule. Lex is not going to try to overlap anyone if possible.

Thank you for the intrest so far. I dont know if this can be posted as a sticky or not. If the administration would do that , would be appreciated

It would be great if we could make the "Eastern Swing"

vic guilmino · 12-06-2011, 10:14 PM

I am seeing too many cars coming to these races as pure stock or IHRA stockers.
I would like to see permanent numbers on cars not shoe polish.
I would like to see some kind of tech not someone just pulling in and saying they are an IHRA
or NHRA car.

Sounds great as long as I dont have to work....................lol

I agree with Vic.
