Good job Jack, I just wanted to let everyone no what a great job Division 1 did along with Maple Grove.

With over 600 cars and being short handed, all I can say is, WELL DONE !!!!

This was a great weekend for me. Made some rounds with the new car. Didn't have to take the trans out for the 150th time! Finally got a handle on the 4 foot wheel stands. Too scary for me to drive. E. Bednez and Steve Ficacci, thanks for the tips.

Shady Maple, Hooters, bunked with Timmy Bishop and Wayne Totaro at the Econo Lodge. Doesn't get any better than this............Joe Martens, you missed out! Charlie Braxton was asking for you too.

Also, thanks Timmy and Wayne for pit crewing for me.........it was a big help!

Great weekend for me. Went a few rounds with the new car and connected with a LOT of old friends (and made a lot of new ones too)!

Re: Live from Maple Grove-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

Sorry I missed it, Jere! I like Hooters! Picked up the bullet today. Glad to see you went some rounds!

Great job Jack, See you in a few days at Etown.

Maple Grove final thoughts -- I wanted to do this last evening but by the time I drug my sorry butte home there was no way - I even fell asleep and missed the ending of the NASCAR race at Charlotte .Anyway , the Stock/SS community took a real hit this weekend as we had more down time from oil on the track than all other classes combined -- not a good thing for sure -- try this -- we had five times more downtime than Alcohol -- believe me the Diapers are coming after this -- my idea is to allow us to install belly pans instead of diapers-that is a possibility I'm told.Yesterday I was "allowed" to see the actual facts and figures in downtime minutes and believe me "they" have a real argument .Let me know your thoughts as this is not going to go away quietly .

Good things -- Yesterday as some of you heard I got to "call" the second round with ESPN's Stat Man and Announcer Louis Bloom -- as much as he does the Pro thing his Sportsman knowledge is unbelieveable - we as stock/ss guys only have to know things about us -- he on the other hand is great on all the Sportsman stuff - my brain would be on overload - next time you see 'em let him know how you feel..........And Louis - thanks for the invite as I had a wonderful time sharing the mike ! !

Sean Gaffney --Not sure if I can join you folks at Napierville this year but that ten G's looks inviting .
Larry -- Quit working and get that new bullet done so we can get some midwest reports - or should we just send Patsy alone ?
Rich B - Not sure how accurate Roy Hill is but it does give racers some hope .
Doug - God willing I'll be at the Valley over Fourth of July .
Mack -- Keep sending in those photos of your loud machine -- somewhere down the road we'll meet up .
Eddie F --Thanks for clearing up the hat deal -- now about that flashing ?
Jerry -- Thanks for the book and the tips .......

And finally Tommy - With me being as busy as I was this past weekend nobody is going to believe that picture you made with Photoshop of me actually working on our car ....................

Englishtown a mear two weeks away .................

Re: Live from Maple Grove-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

Jack said it and I would agree......Diapers are definately coming in Stock and SS.

One oil down must have taken at least an hour to clean up and it was a Stocker or SS'er from what I heard. We usually blame the alcohol cars and others for downtime.....not this weekend......

Stats don't lie............
Downtime hurts everyone......Put 'em on


P.S. belly pans are not going to stop fluids from getting out on the track completely......

Jack...you do a great job !!!!!!!!!! and D1 and Maple Grove put on some race.....no other place to be on Memorial Day weekend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
