Live from Maple Grove-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

On this subject
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 .

Roy dosen't know if he rear end is punched or bored on this subject. I Checked with some very high up people at GM last week their story is the plant has no interest on this subject with them getting the new Camaro Convert out of the plant and now with the new Buicks coming on line. You guys keep forgeting that GM needs volume cars to make $$$$ not a 50 car build. You also forget that they gave up on Drag Racing the they filed for Bankrupacy last summer. Haven't you seen the NHRA Fords that they drive.

Roy Hill may not have been totally accurate with his info but I really liked hearing what he had to say. He is a very entertaing man to listen to and was great being interviewed by Louis Bloom. He was having fun racing the Mustang in SS and said he was treated very well by the racers.

Weather was not great for 2 days but the racing and the track were......

A very good turnout and lots of spectators last night. $25 a carload......One vehicle supposedly had 18 people in it........

I agree he is very entertaining man to listen to. He told my dad and I some storys in the staging lanes in Commerce,Ga and even let me get behind the wheel of the SuperStocker. If that car had a 3rd pedal, he would have been running after me..lol.
