Live from Maple Grove-NHRA Toyo Tire Nationals

Jack,

Thanks for sharing the photos. The Grove is still one of the tracks with the best surroundings ie. tall trees, Amish horse drawn buggies, winding entrance roads and I miss this place.

Don't miss the line up to get in though...Vegas has spoiled us!

Good Luck this weekend and keep the pictures coming.

"Special thanks to Geico Motorsports who had their 18 wheeler in line and ran the engine almost all night - don't know which was louder -- the diesel engine or their air conditioner when it kicked in .Running a generator is one thing but the rig engine is something else....I would have liked to strangle that little gecho........"

I usually get blessed by pitting next to the guy with the $300 Chinese 4500W generator, the 90db kind, who starts it as soon as he arrives and only shuts it off to refill the tank.
I miss the old days of Division 1 racing, but not the weather. Matching temps and humidity are too much.
Good luck.
