Our own Bobby Bender did something a little different at this race - Bobby was awarded a Bronze Star while in the 101st Airborne and his star got to take a very fast ride this afternoon as Tony ( aka " the Sarge " ) Schumacher took it along with him on a 325 MPH pass in his Army sponsored Top Fuel car .Thanks for your service Bobby ..........

Mike Ficacci is driving a new Mustang for Anthony Bon. I think it runs C/S. The new sheets are corrected. What a great privilege to know Bob Bender, Great Feat. Thanks Joe Fasano

Lightbulb Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals

We're done for the night - first rounds were a mixed bag - some ran 4 to 7 slower than this morning other ran closer - plenty of dew on the cars this late - if I had my way we would have bagged it earlier but it wasn't my call .Towels in the lanes were at a premium - probably could have sold mine .

Stock has an early morning call - 8 AM if I'm not mistaken - more dew - more towels - more / more / more ..........
