Jack call me from the road and said he would post more pictures of the late rounds along with the finals when he gets home. Stay tune for Jack's pictures and thoughts from finals at Maple Grove.

Nice of Jack to do some ''overtime'' assume his pay will be adjusted accordingly......
Thks for all the live reports, pictures and videos.
Hope some of that good weather sticks around for the Dutch....

Well , once again you guys got ditched as I was just overwhelmed with stuff to do before I left the track today .And once again the "boss" bugged out early leaving me with covering the whole deal .Lets face facts -- I can't be cloned and I'm not thirty anymore .

Anyhow its like someone famous we all know says -it was a "Chamber of Commerce Day" at Maple Grove -I don't know anything that would have made it any better -- sunshine / perfect temps / no crowds and Pewter Wally's - what more could a racer want ?

All four classes today had their ups and downs -even most of the touring "Pros" were eliminated early ( with the exception of the "Terminator" ) .

I'll try and put this stuff in segments w/ photos ....These are early S/S -and that's Jeff Tripp on the hook after a .009 light and a broken rear........The Sun was extra brite today and my photos got a bit on the dark side .......opps and sorry ! ! !
