Yay Private Ryan!

While there is some downtime -- walking to the scales this morning I realized there was a new edition -- "Scales Maximus" is what I would call this out building - every track should do this -- neat deal for sure .............

Just for your info its now close to 3pm Saturday and S/Comp has yet to make a pass of any kind - maybe we shouldn't complain about our stuff ......................Could it be the NHRA has found a new class to dump on .

Attn D1 Stocker Drivers racing at the Toyos!!

Put a "stocker" CJ or DP on the trailer at the Toyo Nats and win a free six pack of your favotite beer.

Six pack will be delivered at the Dutch.

PM the name of your favorite beer and the CJ/DP opponent who you took out and you are in.

See you at the Dutch!!!

I can vouch for that. Jimmy promised and came through with a 6-pack of Yvengling at E-Town.

Thanks Jim!

Just for a moment forget we're in a recession , never mind 10% unemployment , don't talk about what President Obama is doing wrong...............maybe i'm nuts but a whole group of other people thought that way when they got up this morning because this reporter can't remember the last time he's seen this place this full - this isn't Sunday / race day - its still qualifing ......what or who will tomorrow bring ? ?

The Stauffer family hit this one out of the park.........and the Pro fans are getting their money's worth .Kudo's also to Lex Dudas and his crackerjack staff .

Jack, as usual your reporting is Top Notch.
But your pictures of 1st round of stock didn't hardly show anyone in the stands on the other side, i guess it was tooo early for people to get up & watch stock elim.

The other thing i was curious about: Why did the spectators have to pay for parking???
$10. & that was inside Maple Grove's lot not on the outside at someone's house.
I never recalled paying for parking here or anywhere else for that matter.

Oh well, keep up the good reporting.

Jack is right..... this place is packed!
I have never seen this many fans on a non-sunday!
Yesterday was almost as packed.... I'm sure this will be a record breaking weekend for MG.

Also... the $10 parking was along side the track (on spectator side), the track did offer free parking to the right and left of the track.

I went up Friday morning, got there about 9, parked in the field on the pit side, behind the staging lanes maybe 50 yards from the gate. Cost me $10. Look up on that hill. How many thousands of cars do you think are there? x 3 days!
