Live from Maple Grove - LODRS .90 Style

[BKSG1198]

Good morning and Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all, I know this weekend is all about racing at the Grove, grilling on the BBQ but let's remember the true meaning of this holiday! Let's remember all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country.

We are not on the road yet as like last weekend, some of us have to work a 1/2 a day today but, should be getting to one of my favorite race tracks on tour and Maple Grove around 3pm. Hopefully I have a little better cell service this weekend then last weekend and can help out KM. It will be also great to see some of the improvements since the last visit that Kyle Koretsky and Family have put into the place. I can tell you Kyle has been busting his butt putting shine to the place that was needed for about 20 years, Him and I chat on the phone almost every week about new ideas and programs he wants to bring to the place in the upcoming years.

I'm sure Keith will be chiming in with some thoughts and insight as it seems since he's started doing these "live froms" he's been in the finals of all of the events.....boy I wish I could say the same, I keep running into D1 Champ Mike Handras every race in the early rounds.

From the CR reports on the Stk/SS side it sounds like around 400+ entries that are registered, which is definitely down over the normal count of about 550 to 600. I will try to get some pics and post once we get on the road and set-up.

Remember to stop by and sign the card for Will Munroe this weekend at my trailer and if you have any Team Shirts or Stickers you'd like to donate, I'll be doing a care package for him and sending it his way on Monday!

Till later

Good morning everyone looks like it’s going to be a rather nice day here in Maple Grove we had a lot of rain last night so we’re on a delay to try to get Rubber to stick to the track anyway this mornings conditions are 66° 82% humidity, barometer is at 29.22 I’m getting 1784 density altitude and the water greens are 80

[Keith 944]

It is lunchtime and no one has gone down the track yet the D1 crew are out getting us a new surface. seems they have to scrape and get new rubber down this does seem to happen a lot at Maple Grove when we have bad weather
I’m doubtful all classes will get their first round in today but we will see

[Keith 944]

Time run was good. S/st and s/c are done for the day. Probably more classes to follow. Stock will run 1st rnd.

[Keith 944]

Squeaked by a tough first round this morning let’s just say my opponent was .006-10.91 and I’m going on to the next round which also gave me the bye for next round!
Another beautiful morning the density altitude was around 1500 DA a little quicker than yesterday
they’re still having some issues with rubber pulling up off the track and it looks like it’s going to be a very long day with the alcohol cars and so many cars to run
