Jack, you parked near the S/G guys? You know where the good food will be, Uncle Buck and George D always have the best eats. How about a 9.90 report over the weekend?

Jack,

You weren't pitted by your tree. Where are you parked?

Prostreetbird -- I've got this deal all figured out-- yep , I"m parked about 15 feet from Uncle Buck and George....my momma didn't raise no dummy ! ! ! I'll see if I could throw you some S/G tidbits .

RC-- I'm about 75 yards before the finish line along the road - right in the middle of the Supergassers.

Here are a few of the things that went on today -- Tom Baird -- in his 69 B/S Camaro broke a ball joint in second gear and after losing his steering banged the wall a little -- he's OK and the Camaro only has slight damage .

Jim Boburka showed up with his new Dynacorn Classic Industries bodied 69 Camaro A/SA and went 10.20 out of the box -- this Bowtie has plenty of potential ....and like all of Jim's cars its a looker .

Speaking of 69 Camaros' another Jim won the B/SA contest today -- he had the fastest one on the property -- no doubt about it -- this one is Jim Boudreau .His "Orange Crush" colored racer was just plain fast today.OK , to you purists out there its Hugger Orange -- I like my description better .

Most racers I spoke with today said their ET's were better than expected -- weather had us fooled for sure .

Gates open at 7:30 sharp on Friday-- Time trials at 8:30 -- SuperStreet - Stock - Super Comp - SuperStock - SuperGas -- all get two runs .

Lex Dudas in conjunction with the owners of Maple Grove Raceway are trying to do their part with making this Memorial Day weekend a little more affordable for the fans coming in -- check this out -- first he's got his famous Saturday carload deal after 3pm-Spectator Side- fill the car -- everybody's in for 25 bucks -- plus free Fireworks after the Alcohol show . Also kids 13/14/15 years old10 bucks daily with kids 12 and under FREE . At least they're trying ...........every little bit helps ! ! !

Good morning gang -- The racing gods are shining on us again this day with plenty of sunshine and very nice temps to boot.Action begins in a little more than half an hour and most of us are chomping at the bit to get our chance at charging down Maple Grove's asphalt .We'll all get a couple of shots today and move one step closer to earning a" Wally " .....................later .

Just finished Stock- #1 Sansome's "Mighty Mouse" early Nova -- #2 Boudreau B/SA -- looks like its just a tick slower tan yesterday -- plenty of blow-ups and oil downs.... more when the sheets come out . Lots of new rides here this weekend - one I saw this morning was Ken Kier's big block Nova with his son Adam driving in A/SA -- pretty neat piece .

They just now called SuperStock..........
