At least in Div 7

It's a normal Divisional race.

Talk about slow -first round of Stock now in -- plenty of surprised racers who couldn't run the number - also an abnormal amount of breakage -- SuperStock coming up soon ....

Wow ,that sure worked out to not have any heads up in the 2nd round. Lots of possibilities that did not happen. Back to the" COMBO" race for now.

[Ty Webb]

I think that there were 7 possibilities for heads-ups for Stock Rd. two. The only one that came out was the D/SA battle of Wendy Caliendo and Matt Welker. The possible 3rd, rd. H/U battle of M/SA's didn't pan out either. There's still a possible 3rd. rd. F/SA battle along with a G/SA that could prove to be interesting.

Line'm up!

For those who were first round runner-ups a meeting was held at the Shady Maple -- and for those who stuck around for the rest of todays activities -- you missed a great meal ! ! !

[Doug Blackley]

There's a "shady" looking crowd....lol.

Stuck around tonight to see some great racing and the annual fireworks display put on by Maple Grove -- a very nice show with plenty of ou's and ah's - this was a treat for the many families who attended today's program .And I 'gotta tell you -- I have new respect for photogs -- taking fireworks shots is no easy deal ...........

Jack, thanks for the outstanding reports on "Live From". Now I have to get back to work.

Good morning -- Because of a brief shower both the NHRA team and Maple Grove guys had to spend some extra time drying the track this AM and had all available equipment in use -its good now and we'll start off soon with S/Street then S/Gas followed by Stock .After a hard scraping this morning the track will have teeth for sure -- its killer .

Big quote of the weekend by Roy Hill -- he said that Rick Hendricks shop is only a mile from his and swears that the "new" Camaros are coming .........we'll see .

BTW -- Today is the race day everyone has been waiting for -- sunny - blue skies -- temps in the low seventies ..........if you're not here you missed something very nice indeed .
