Congrats to Greg Gay! The last SS qualifier was also the final round runoff of the weather shortened Epping LODRS between Greg Gay and Lincoln Morehead. Greg says he won by inches (margin was .00096!). Congrats to both!

Good Morning all, another great weather day for racing. Stock and Super Stock get two more rounds today. I hope to get some top end shots. I have to repeat myself, this race is has been one of the best National events I have been to in a long time. Everything running so smooth. I have not heard of any complaints from the racers this week.

This track also has a strong market, the fans are just rolling in, this place will be packed. Stock should be out at 9:45.... more letter.

Good morning all, we are still here. I hope to get some more top end shots along with some winner circle photos. Looks to be another nice weather day, but it will be warmer. Maple Grove weather at the national events tend to be on the rainy side, but this week has been good.

Be back later...

Kenny,
Does NHRA not allow the in car cameras anymore? Those were/are always great to view. My non racer friends are always amazed what goes on inside.
Thanks to everyone that posts from all the various events.

They do and they don't, not the best answer, but you know NHRA.

Ok guys here are shots from the semi's to the finals, not the best camera work but at least we got something.

Semi's, Sorry Shane I screwed up the shot of you and Jonathan, the photo was a mess.

I couldn't agree more. Really well done. And this track is just so incredible. Absolutely gorgeous setting, great location. By far, my favorite track. NHRA needs to do whatever it can to make sure this track stays a track !!

OK-OK so I've been slackin' a bit but i'll make up for it and use a whole bunch of Ken's space with a zillion pics I took today so far .Had a great tribute to 9/11 before the race started and more before the Pro's went out .Even the guy that sang was pretty good - sorry,I didn't catch his name.
