Live from Reading, Pennsylvania - NHRA Keystone Nationals

[Mike Pearson]

We had weather similar to what is being experienced at the Keystones one year at the gators. They skipped around the lower class sportsman categories until Sunday AM. Then gave us one qualify pass then held us until late in the day to run first round. finished the pros and ran the rest of the sportsman classes on Monday. I hope this does not happen to y'all. Best of luck to all.

Yeah - yeah I know I ditched you guys today but I was getting cabin fever already .And getting on here reading and writing about all this gloom and doom weather just got to me .So I jumped in my car this morning and turned to what helps - work! ! A short 50 minute drive and I was at the car capital of the world - Manheim , Pennsylvania .Thousands and thousands of cars to look at and possibly purchase - all at one address .

I may not have been able to see many cars the last few days here at Maple Grove but they were out in full force at the auction today - I snapped a few pics just for practice .And if you're looking for pictures of sixties iron stop here - they weren't out ! ! !

Enjoy as its all you're getting from me today ......

Weather underground say 63/48 for Sunday. Wow if the track is dry and the humidity isn't to bad cars will be flying. There should be a new stock record and some permanent hits come Tuesday if racers aren't careful.

Good morning - Could today be the day we've all been waiting for ? Maybe finally get in some track action ? Right at this moment I'd say no cause its raining and pretty breezy out my window .But as you all know this is Maple Grove and it might change in a heartbeat .Only thing moving out there are the garbage trucks and believe it or not there are some fans walking around already .Why you ask? I haven't a clue but as you already know we take most of this race for granted and don't really pay attention to anything but the classes we race in.

After it gets light out (and I finish my Raisen Bran Crunch breakfast ) I'll get out and snap a few photos and maybe interview a few fans ........later ! !

I think I'd have another bowl of cereal (name withheld - what are posing for a sponsor?) if I were you Jack. It's still pretty miserable out here.

[Bob Lasko]

When and if they post a schedule, can someone please take a picture and post it.

Thanks,
Bob Lasko

Zero chance of racing. I'm in the fields. Wtf Rumor is we are staying till its done. How about sending us bottom feeders home till next week. We are not the pros. We are not gonna be in any schedule where the weather permits s. Someone throw life preserver. Ray Charles would have called it and how about all the fans getting hosed and held hostage
