Live from Maple Grove-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

It might have came early but arrived none the less - and with some power but only for a few minutes then quit - as you'll see from the pics its even steamier now than before but should cool off quick .The track has announced that they will try and dry it off but ..... we'll see ! ! ! And check out the steam in the last two pics ......................

Hey Jack,, Thanks for the up dates !!!!! That steam looks like you are in Florida during the rainy season.. We see that almost every day!!!! Still doesn't make it any more comfortable!!!!!!!

Jack,

Thanks for the watchman service at the Grove. Never rained here or on the way home to Eldersburg. Looks like you got quite a down pour there.

From the photos, looks like my trailer is washed and clean now.

Hey Jack,

I thought this picture of Ed Fernandez in my motorhome would be appropriate for the 'live from". Ed's hat has a blinking "B" not sure what the B stands for or where the batteries are. I can tell you what I think the B stands for, but its not nice. Anyone else care to guess, be nice now.

Kenny -- I'll stay away from the not too nice stuff and just give it a shot with my guess -- "B" is for Brookyln as in New York ..........as for the blinkers........thats' a New Jersey thing ! ! ! Another thing you might want to consider -- ( even though you feel safe here in Pennsylvania ) -- locking your coach might be a prudent idea .

Jerry -- your trailer looks really spiffy at this moment -- but by the time you get back tomorrow it could float away ...........

Good morning -- What a difference a day makes ! Not much Sun and chilly this AM but no rain at the moment but the day looks iffy at best .Gates are to open in half an hour or so and the Division One Tech people will be checking cars just after that -- better get 'er done before we have a cloudburst or something .

Got to visit with with my almost lifelong friend Ray Valpreda last night who along with his wife Ruth made the trek here from Concorde , North Carolina so they could spend their Memorial Day with us here in D1 -- its great to see them and talk about the good 'ole days ...............Another couple to join us after an absence is John & Dot Pressing --- more stories to be told tonight around the campfire .............

Here is a little good news before I sign off -- the Barometer has returned -- its in the 29 Seventies and climbing . Later ..........

Jack:
best of luck to you this weekend. Keep up the great reporting (w/ pics).

Please keep an eye on my race partner (aka the "professor" Santos) and my father; as I do not usually leave each of them unsupervised for an entire weekend! LOL

Ken , from up here in New England, that sure looks like a Boston Red Sox hat to me......Well, Ed?? WJ

Stock got their first run in this morning -- and I must admit that I lied earlier when I said there was a great barometer -- its not ! ! Guess I should have had my readers on because its anything but good at 29.30 something --- so all I can say is opps .

Took a few shots in the lanes and starting line for your enjoyment ..................

One last thing -- the last picture shows the "Diamond RV Shopping Team" on their way to the VF Outlet Stores in Reading -- Holy charge cards boys ......................Just think - you saved up to 70 percent ! ! !
