Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals
congrats to all the winners and runners up. I left after Lenny Williams awesome Buick beat the beautiful Black Nova on the heads up F/Stock run. Saw the day from the very first passes of stock, Sorry Jack, met you before your run. Best darn car show seeing all the stockers lined up at 815 in the am after driving 3 straight hours after almost no sleep,lol.
Great day, packed house. Glad I went. Wish I dressed warmer to stick it out, it was cold standing there after a long week wrenching. They need a coffee stand.lol. |

Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals
Yes, Kudo's to ever made the call on getting the Sportsman's Done Last Nite..
Excellent Job...... Most Sportsman Racers have to work on Monday. This should be done in future events, time & conditions permitting. Let's face it, most Sportsman Racers probably take off Wed., Thurs., & Fri. for a National Event as is. Pistol Pete 1374 I/SA |

Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals
I found a few more photos, the place was packed on Friday. It was tough getting around the pits with all the people there. The fans may empty the stands when the sportsman run, but I was very impressed with the amount of fans checking out all the sportsman cars.

Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals
No doubt about it - they made the right call yesterday - the NHRA decided to run the Sportsman last evening to completion and today there are many , many happy campers because of that decision .Around 10:30 this morning the rains came and today sure looks like a washout as its now wet , cold and damp .A great number of racers have dumped their trailers and headed home thanks to some quick thinking on the sanctioning bodies part .I'd be very surprised if any of the Pro's will run today -------- and if they do most of us will be watching from our Lazy Boy's .
I've still got a zillion photos to sort thru from last night and will post them later in the day .........

Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals
Not sure what's going on but it stopped raining here and the NHRA has started drying procedures starting with running the Jet .Is it for 'SHOW' or will they really try to get it in ? All that and more ......stay tuned ! !
BTW , funny thing sitting here and watching racers play "musical pit spots " - they are moving their stuff off the grass and mud onto blacktop for next week's " Pennsylvania Dutch Classic " ..........And ClassRacer.com will be covering it for you .

Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals
Many were stuck this weekend ( including this reporter ) but none like our man Marc LaBrecque with his forty something foot long RV and a stacker ..............
Marc - Just so you know I'm always trying to show your best side .On the other side of the coin the NHRA really were not alot of help this weekend to both of us when stuck in the field .I got pulled out by a racer and Marc really had to beg for the backhoe service .
