"Live From" PC Richard.com National Open

Bobby Fazio · 10-05-2017, 09:27 AM

Yep I am trying to find out if eliminations begin Sunday morning or Saturday night. We have a few family obligations Saturday night that I will catch hell for if I don't go. Also, I guess Maple Grove isn't boosting the purse this year? Last year it was $3000 to win thanks to Gold Rush trailers kicking in $1000. Two years ago Maple Grove sent out a letter after the race stating if participation stays as high as it has been they would raise the payout.

Good morning all, test and tune should start in bit. While the weather is nice, its not going to be record setting. Its in the mid 70's now and should hit about 80 later this afternoon.

Bobby, they schedule listed on the D1 site has not been changed as of today. If something changes I will post it.

Thanks Doug. Testing is done for the day. The weather was not the best for records. Weather conditions were around 2500 ft, temps in the low 80's. David Barton did try for a 7 second run, but the track could not hold the power. The COPO left fine, but 100 or so feet out the tires brook loose. He made two attempts with the same results.

Here are some different angles from today's action. I do have a few videos and I will post them later.
