Re: It's Raining At Maple Grove
Last week the rumor was Pro classes at Maple Grove, Sportsman at Atco.. now it's Englishtown.. I paid an entry and 3 crew tickets for a National Event.. not some watered down Sportsman show a couple of hours away.. and it's nice that this is supposedly being discussed on Tuesday, after the withdrawal cut-off.. that's hopefully all BS..
AND ANOTHER THING.. wouldn't you think that by now, these supposed GREAT tracks would have accumulated enough money to pave the whole place??.. Oh, that's right, the Pro pits are paved.. need to remember my place.. LOL |

Re: It's Raining At Maple Grove
Looks like we (Stock) got the shaft.Doesn't mention class runoffs,only time trial on Thurs and 1st rd Friday.Time for a $100 refund or discount on our next National.Unless they do the so called "modified" class runoffs based on lowest ET on time trial.Either way the little
performance orientated competition we have is taken away from us,and the fans.

Re: It's Raining At Maple Grove
Sportsman postponed
October 5, 2010 by ejones Skip to comments Due to persistent showers that started Monday and lasted through today, there will be no Sportsman parking on Wednesday, Oct. 6, for the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway due to wet grounds. Parking will begin at 7 a.m. Thursday. Because of that, Thursday’s portion of Sportsman racing has been canceled. All classes will get a qualifying run on Friday. The fastest car in each class will determine Stock class winners during qualifying runs on Friday. The stars of the NHRA Full Throttle Series will race at their scheduled times this weekend. The All-Star Salute to Darrell Gwynn is at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Crowne Plaza Reading Hotel. A shuttle bus to the event is scheduled to leave Maple Grove at 6 p.m. Tickets are available at the door for a $20 donation that goes to the Darrell Gwynn Foundation. The forecast from Thursday through Sunday, according to AccuWeather, is sunny skies with temperatures around 70 degrees.
