I couldn't resist - I just couldn't ...I had a chance to book out of work early and sneak over here thinking I'll get a good pit spot and be ready for tomorrow .So much for leaving early as everything I gained leaving early was lost on route 22 in traffic .But after getting here I realized that there was no need for getting here early.Talk about being treated like VIP's - Lex Dudas and his staff here at Maple Grove decided that we'd ( Stock/ SuperStock ) be a separate show and parked us up front and on the asphalt usually reserved for the Pro's .Nice , very nice indeed .Time trials - yep , we go out at 1 and 4pm - no waiting ! ! And in front of the big crowd.
We could learn some things from these folks - we may have Goldrush Trailers and 45' Mega Motorhomes but these folks have things we just don't - what you say - I 've seen several Hot Tubs and pools already not to mention smokers all over the place .You'll see in the pics they take this deal serious about having fun and comfort .I'll try and get some good shots tomorrow as we should have a fair amount of entries as there are about 15 or so here already .Till then ............

That Vette would've been even cooler with a straight axle front end. Haven't seen a "Grump lump" scoop in ages.

We just got our first of two time shots today in front of a huge Super Chevy crowd .........and like they say the crowd went wild .Well , maybe not wild but they sure liked us .I was in the first pair and came around to take some pictures and was amazed the stands were still full- they stayed around to watch us ........next in about two hours we'll go out again .

Just had our second and last time shot - we get to sit until 1pm tomorrow when we will have first round in front of a packed house hopefully -- one could get used to being treated like royality .......next week at the Lucas Oil race things will get back to normal .

In the almost forgot department - today is Jeff Tripps' birthday -- I think he 's maybe 52 or three - doesn't matter - some of us got together to celebrate his big day - we had a huge ice cream cake - it was terrific ..........I wonder if the fact that Jeff had on a Dairy Queen t-shirt had anything to do with that great cake ? Anyway Happy Birthday Jeff ............
PS- Wait till you see the size of my piece .
