Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals
Good afternoon gang and welcome to the 28th edition of the NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals .I must admit we're not exactly live as I'm still packing .Rumor has it that we're to go in early tomorrow but because the ground might be soft we'll have to wait and see .If it keeps going like today it will be necessary to set fire to the rain or start building an ark .The weather for tomorrow is so-so but the rest of the week looks terrific .
When we came to the first "Keystone Nationals" in 1985 everyone wondered how it would go - as it turned out the racers - the track and even the NHRA were happy with the event - can you imagine that - everyone happy at the same time - it was a different world then . I dug far into my archives and came up with a few momentos from that event ..........Stay tuned as this is to be a record breaking deal .........and the Stock - SuperStock action will be the best ever .

For those of you coming in on the Pennsylvania Turnpike westbound consider yourselves lucky as I told with the construction going on the traffic was so heavy this morning that many were parking at the Plymouth Meeting Mall and waiting it out ............

Will they still be letting us park tomorrow morning? Are there lots of rigs in the field?

I just got here at 9pm. They are parking rigs in the staging lanes. They are not parking anymore rigs in the field due to all the rain they had here today.

Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals
Good morning - Instead of talking about racing here we are talking once again about that ugly four letter word --- RAIN -- what was to be a extremely nice week turned once again - today it is to clear up after lunch time and be nice into Saturday -- that said --Saturday / Sunday at this moment are not looking too terrific .Lets keep our fingers crossed ..........later .
