Live from Maple Grove-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

Good morning kids - Here is the latest - I'm told the test n tune is on hold for the moment as its not rainng but the fog / moisture hasen't burned off just yet .As you'll see from the pics its not very pretty out this am but this is Maple Grove and anything can happen .

So much for the boss helping out this morning - he picked me a nice pit spot next to his so he could keep an eye on me - trouble is I've had to put plenty of lumber under my jacks to get level and now the coach is doing a small wheelie - thanks Ken , you're the best !

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse this morning Ken tells me he's saving a spot for a friend - wouldn't you know it - now i'm surrounded by Shelbys as Billy Hawk decided to make a guest appearance this weekend .Whats next ......Maybe there's some space next to the port- a - potties for me to park .

Any good news ? At least on the other side of me is Lynn & Rich Aman and their cute yellow lab ..........Rich tells me he can't wait to hit the asphalt as his Camaro is flyin' thanks to a new Ficcaci powerplant .

I'll be back ......
