Live from Maple Grove-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

Hi gang - Well as they say better later than never - and it applies to me as I got here after the 9pm gate closing and was not allowed to enter the pits and will now stay here in the field till 7am or so .

Tomorrow is to be test n tune but the forecast is a little iffy - we'll just have to wait and see .Speaking of seeing - has anyone seen the boss 'yo Ken' around tonight ? I've been ducking him as he'll probably give me the speech about docking my pay for being late tonight .

Like they say .......in the mornin'.

I'm here, I just pulled in a few trailers behind you. You better stay on your toes this weekend, you can be replaced.

Good morning kids - Here is the latest - I'm told the test n tune is on hold for the moment as its not rainng but the fog / moisture hasen't burned off just yet .As you'll see from the pics its not very pretty out this am but this is Maple Grove and anything can happen .

So much for the boss helping out this morning - he picked me a nice pit spot next to his so he could keep an eye on me - trouble is I've had to put plenty of lumber under my jacks to get level and now the coach is doing a small wheelie - thanks Ken , you're the best !

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse this morning Ken tells me he's saving a spot for a friend - wouldn't you know it - now i'm surrounded by Shelbys as Billy Hawk decided to make a guest appearance this weekend .Whats next ......Maybe there's some space next to the port- a - potties for me to park .

Any good news ? At least on the other side of me is Lynn & Rich Aman and their cute yellow lab ..........Rich tells me he can't wait to hit the asphalt as his Camaro is flyin' thanks to a new Ficcaci powerplant .

I'll be back ......

OK- more whine ......after sitting in staging lanes for more than two hours we finally got to go down the track - bad air and no traction .One pass -$75 .And a huge and I mean huge storm is about to hit ........batten down the hatches bigtime .or maybe it will miss us .........

[Marc LaBrecque]

Oh well , your at the track Jack and I'm flying back from a RV seminar in Dallas . Poor you ! Hopefully , see you at E-Town . Good luck to all.

[John Leichtamer Jr]

When jack is at the track, it's going to rain.

It's a proven fact, just look at his record.
