Parking went very fast, the stacking area is empty. Red, Wallace and crew did a super job. Tech is also going smooth with very little wait time as well the credentials line.

I was told they are parking until 6pm

First photo is getting our tech cards and window sticker. The last photo is Coffee, OJ and donuts as promised from NHRA.

I got a chance to cruise around and get some photos of cars that were still not put away for the night. The first two photos are George Yag's 2013 COPO 350 running C/SA, one of only two made. Very nice to see the 350 combo out. I can wait to see it run tomorrow. Tech is still going on until 6pm and very few rigs are coming in now. Lots of room for parking, and great weather, its shaping up to be a nice week of racing.

Brent, its a 376ci, modified engine, not sure what cylinder head he runs.

A few more photos. Tomorrow stock is out first at 8:45. Although it was warm today, about 85. Tomorrow morning will be cool, upper 50's to low 60's when we run.

See you all tomorrow...

Smile Re: Live from Maple Grove - NHRA Auto Plus Nationals

Good morning all - In just a little more than two and a half hours we'll hit the track finally - as some have been here since Sunday waiting their turn at the Maple Grove 1320 .As usual the place looks great with its manicured grass and vacumned roads .One thing about this organization - they're not short on staff to maintain the grounds or the track as its always first class .

OK , just as advertised the temperature is a chilly 55 at this moment but will climb to the low eighties again today .How this will effect performance is yet to be seen - if we get a barometer the next few days performance will not be affected much .When the Stockers run this morning it'll still be brisk so the possibility of some way under runs by the big players is very likely .

And speaking of chilly this is a good as time as any to tell you folks about the special delivery I received last night - boxes and boxes of freshly minted sweatshirts - the 'hoodie' type - perfect for this weather - they are black with orange lettering .Thanks Ken - just what I needed - more work .If I get a chance today I'll find someone to model one and post a pic .

Back in a few hours with news hopefully ....and maybe a shot or two from the lanes .......
