Live from Maple Grove Raceway

Kevin its strange not seeing you and that black Nova up here. Well we put together a couple of good qualifying runs and made it into the Top 8 race but I sure did stink it up in the 1st round. The air felt and the instruments said the air was getting better so I made my adjustments and didn't I go the wrong way (man it was slow out there). I ran 11.06 and would of only gone 11.01 and Gene Schneck got the win (nice job Gene). But I wasn't the only slow car with a number of the stock and S/St cars running really slow? But todays a new day and hopefully I can get back on track. I'm not sure of the car counts but there's a good number of cars in all classes.

Dave Ley just texted me and said 597 as of last night and more came in today, so well over 600+ cars

Looks like they got the track dried and completed the race yesterday. Congrats to the winners and R/Us.
S/St Keith Mayers over Jon Leahy
SG Charlie Kenopic over Lenard Marshall
SC Tom Stalba over Richard Stroud
A big congrats to the NHRA Div1 guys and gals for getting the race completed yesterday.

Thanks Robbie for the reports, here are some random shot from the weekend. Sorry I could not get more, I just ran out of time.

Yea, that place has thrown me a few times also. Glad to hear that Gene won the top 8. You’ll sort it out. Good luck.

Here's some photos from the weekend.
What a pain in the butt, to change slicks on my car you have to drop the shocks and drive shaft and here I had to let the air out to take them off and on.
