Live from Maple Grove Raceway - NHRA Auto Plus Nationals

[Jack Matyas]

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 ! ! !
