Default Re: "Live From" Maple Grove, NHRA Nationals

With the weather swings from Thursday's triple H weather to Friday's overcast, fall weather, Saturday rain showers and onto Sunday's beautiful sunny warm day, it wasn't the easiest event to dial a car.

Hats off to the NHRA for their efforts to get the track dried and finish up on schedule on Saturday and the overall track prep. My car ran identical to thousand, 60 foot and 1000 foot ET from our last pass on Saturday, the 1/4 finals after 2 rain delays to Sunday's semi final about 24 hours later.

Congrats to all the winners and to my son, in his 2nd national event final of the season, a rematch from Epping two months earlier, on his first National event win. Just AWESOME!

Because the boss is a fair man, besides it’s his house. On NHRAtv they showed all the sportsman champion interviews (they were great) and the young man gave a good humble interview. Guess I’d be bragging about my son as well and time will tell if the reprieve was warranted.

Why didn't he post this on the .90 Heads Up Class Racing forum? Because he wants to shove it up our butts.

It's sad that the son has to suffer the sins of his father. Congrats to the young man, he ran a great race.

it's sad that a few old men have nothing to add about this event, yet feel the need to post their negative comments and opinions in response to a post congratulating the winners of this event including my son.

Ed, if you didn't alienate so many people on internet sites we wouldn't be having this conversation. your son is a very talented racer I wish him success in the future.

this thread is about the Maple Grove Nationals, the racers who competed at this event and the winners of this event, not your assumption of who posting on this message board besides you that doesn't agree with my advice and opinions.

I thought this particular thread is about Stock and Super Stock from Maple Grove?
