Hello everyone from rainy Maple Grove Raceway. Testing today will most likely not happen. As Brian Oaks said in another thread, there is very little parking left on the asphalt as so many racers have saved so many spots. More than I'm use to seeing in D1. I guess many are afraid to park on the grass, can't blame them. We were told not to park in the field, but being there are very few spots left on the asphalt not sure what can be done. Its going to be a long day if your an NHRA official trying to get everyone parked. For the record I am on the grass and I was 5th inline. They must have open the track yesterday, I did not see it listed in the schedule, there were at least 70 rigs already parked.

Because we have alcohol, comp, top dragster and top sportsman at this race, parking is limited. Those classes get the premium parking, even if they get here on Saturday. The weather this weekend looks to be a mix of sun and rain, hopefully we can get it all in.
