Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto - Plus Nationals

[Jack Matyas]

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 .
