Live from Maple Grove Raceway - NHRA Auto Plus Nationals

Jack Matyas · 10-05-2011, 11:15 PM

Well here we are @ part two of the Auto Plus Nationals - I'm in line to get in tomorrow morning - I figured there would be much more of a crowd tonight but I must say sparce isn't even close - the line to get in is almost non-existant .

One thing I didn't think about is that its October - yep , its a chilly 58 degrees tonight and is expected to drop into the forties - and its furnace time for me as I hate the cold .But I just can't force myself into moving to somewhere warm .

Thursday will be a nothing day for most of us - parking and then tech - I'll be done before 10am .....then what ? Maybe I can get a job here at the track ........cleaning toilets or forecasting the weather or ........well you get it ! ! ! Every time I've taken a shower in the last week I keep thinking the tire tracks will wash off but ........I've been under the bus so much lately its like a second home .

Did I mention my TV service is on the fritz again - thank God for the Internet - you know that Al Gore guy was right - it might catch on .Later .............
