Live from Maple Grove-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

Hi Gang - Gates opened early this morning and plenty of racers piled in - today is Test n Tune and a good many took advantage .Wish I could give you results but my day was filled with preparations for this weekend .Maybe Ken can help fill you in .

Anyway it was sunny , warm and very humid all afternoon and i'd be surprized if anyone went fast in the t n t .They are calling for showers and boomers later and that will cool things off some .But the outlook for this weekend is great so load up and come on over .

You'll have to excuse me this once - I know this isn't supposed to be about me but I've been working hard on my GTO to make sure my last race with it goes well before its new owner takes it home .To say I'm having separation issues is an understatement - I've been questioning myself about selling it - why in the world would you sell one of the best cars I've ever had ? Lucky for me some of my friends pitched in today to help me with cleaning as I want it to be in "Best Appearing Car " form for the new owner .

Jack, that is some crew you have. When they are finished the green monster is down the main road on the right.

Green cars need loving too.

See everyone Friday am.

Here are a few photos from the guys who have not put their cars away for the night. Not sure why the last picture did not come out good.

I see Jack is at it again, delegating work. I am begining
to think he has someone else doing the live from's.

Funny thing is I stopped by your pit this afternoon - you weren't there but I noticed you're going for "Best Engineered " with that cable set-up you have tying the two pieces together - anyone with a 9/16 wrench could get that deal apart but it looked good - are you planning on using that in New Jersey next weekend ?

PS- Almost forgot - I'm out of Klondike bars already .
