Re: Live from Maple Grove NHRA Pep Boys Nationals
Quote:
Since earlier this year here in Phoenix "Shark Bait" ran a 14.93, I put on my rear window "Maple Grove Let's See If You Can Beat a 14.93"? Although my qualifying runs were great, the only run better than that came in rnd1, when I ran an unofficial 14.918 (actually a 14.925....thanks Bobby Fazio). Shark Bait ran so great there (14.998, 14.999, and an afternoon 15.038), that I am already starting plans to come back there next year! Like Phoenix and Pomona, Maple Grove is a north facing south track, and my best et's have been at those tracks. Some may think I'm crazy for going all the way there for a fast/consistent track, but the man who back in April of 1972 inspired my interest in our sport, said this: "A DRAG RACER IS SOMEBODY WHO SPENDS MONEY HE DOESN'T HAVE, ON THINGS HE DOESN'T NEED, TO IMPRESS PEOPLE HE DOESN'T KNOW. " WILLIAM TYLER JENKINS Enough said!!!
