Afternoon gang- So the t-storms that were forecast haven't arrived .So far its been blue skies and sunshine with temps in the high seventies with the rest of the week looking super with zero chance of rain they say .We''ll see --it's Maple Grove ! !

Folks today are just working on their stuff and cleaning it - not much else to do .

Good morning all, well it rained pretty good last night and we may get a shower this morning before the front moves through for what looks to be great weather all the way to Sunday.

We were supposed to start at 9am, but I don't think that will happen, I will keep you all posted.

Top of the morning to everyone - as Ken said the early morning start won't happen and more than likely the 3 run day they promised went down the drain along with the rain water .But the rest of the week is looking super after the Sun comes out later today .

Looks like some are working on their averages, and who can blame them. What a great system and no, I don’t have a good fix either.

I think there was at least 1 Camaro in every pair of stock.. Sure isn't like watching division 5 races.

Hey guys, here are some shots from the staging lanes. I don't have my NHRA media credentials for the event, so I wont get any starting line shots. I'll head to the top end in a bit for finish line photos.

We are still on schedule for 3 runs. Its cloudy but no rain.
