I remember quite a few years ago we followed Dave Ribeiro to the Shady Maple as he took the back way there. I doubt I could get there going that way without a GPS. I think that was the last time I was there. Good eats.

Correct - how about the old cars .......this mural was hanging in the Shady Maple supermarket and was wall sized .

SuperStock made their pass and were pretty much like Stock with the excption of some headwind at times .The re '70 Hemi Cuda pictured below got "Best Appearing Car" - sorry but I didn't get his name .......Jeanne Linke spent some of her morning lining up her dad and uncle......Max Nalor formerly of Numedia was in house today .

First round of Stock completed - track was great and the air and a little headwind slowed most up only a few hun .Super Stock just called to the lanes -- I'll be back with some pics ....................

Possible Totaro - Matyas heads-up race third round. You guys gonna make any side bets if you both get by the second round?

Last night after some classes ran first round it was time for some food , adult beverages and mostly talking about how we won or how many ways we lost .This Memorial Day weekend is a perfect time to visit with friends .

Debbie and I visited the MASGA headquarters and we greeted by none other than "Uncle Buck" himself and both us were glad he could make it here as he's been on the injured reserve list for some time .And he felt even better when his partner (George Donhauser won first round ) - welcome back Ron ............

And then there were the fireworks - thanks to Maple Grove - racers and fans were treated to a spectacular fireworks display that topped off a super evenng of racing .

Got to visit with an old friend yesterday - well not exactly a friend - guess you can't call a car a friend - Todd Hoven showed up with Truman Fields '68 Firebird that I haven't seen in many years - he's making strides in D/S ..........
