Once other people start feeling the same way and figure they can do something better with their time, than the damage will done forever. CR

Maple Grove does not own that property. It's owned by the farm. They knew before we got there we weren't parking on the grass.

Hey cicero819.
Why don't you buy the track ?
You seem to have all the answers to fix it and make it into a real gold mine. With the huge drop in the US dollar vs. the Canadian dollar, it should be a real steal for you.

J Thomas, like the great prophet Rodney King said " why can't we just get along"eh! Seriously our dollar is tanking just as fast as yours. It was a suggestion, if you're happy with the latest events than more power to you. Just to make a point, I really love that corner of the country, I use to plan my holidays around the Keystone, great track, great people but mostly after the problems at last years race where NHRA and Maple Grove kept everyone in the dark and not even have the common decency to communicate to it's spectators and racers what was going on, this year same thing. I feel for all the sportsman racer who have been at the track for more than a week or have spent their hard earn money to drive to a parking lot just to be told to go home or stay but they won't be racing this week-end.

MOHNTON, Pa. - Racing is on hold here at Maple Grove Raceway because of rain.
The second round of Funny Car competition had just finished when a light, steady rain began to fall. Keep watching for updates. Maybe they will have to run the pros with the sportman next weekend? Tom
