No Problem

Can someone tell me why Maple Grove doesn't pave additional pit area? I heard at one time that part of the unpaved land used was leased?

As you all know this seems to happen every year.

Also, has the under track drainage been fixed? Muddy pits may just be the first problem...

The sportsman field, last I heard, is leased. Plus don't forget any capitol perminent improvement just ads to the tax liability. And for a field used only a couple of times a year it would be fiscally irresponsible.

Ever wonder why we have our email contact info on the on-line registration info screen and hand write it on every tech card yet they don't make a DL of the entered participants so they can keep everyone in the loop? Thanks again Jack, Ken, Toby, Tom, the Hills and all that go the extra mile to keep racers up to date as possible.

We got an email from Josh Peterson at the NHRA on the 25th telling us the build up parking area had been moved to the VF lot. So the method is in place - sounds like they just don't know what to tell us.

Rumor'JUST A RUMOR" from sponcers on the midway @ Maple Grove. If more heavy rain sportsman to be moved Englishtown or Atco. Again this is just a rumor but what would you think of that?

Why was Thursday racing canceled already? This forecast may change or may not even hit the track as is usual during weekly bracket races.

Another rumor, all racers and crew members will be refunded a day's worth of crew pass cost, $21.25 for no racing on Thursday. Maybe with a little luck we can get 1/4 of our entry fee back.. but that might be getting a little greedy.

Will spectators be given a discounted entry fee since the entire program won't be there on Friday?

I already know the answer to that one....
