Here it is fans - another beautiful morning in Pennsylvania with more sunshine and clear skies .At this moment its already in the high fifties with plenty of humidity (54%) that will likely burn off quickly and with a 29.76 barometer it all adds up to a 500' DA . Another fast day is in store for us - which brings us to another question - yesterday more than half the Stock field (57) were faster than -.85 under so is this a "mineshaft rule deal " ? ? I'm no expert on the subject but it sure seems to fit the guidelines .

A couple of records were set - FS/C -Jeff Hull -09 Challenger - 8.992 - 1.302 -#1 Qualifer
M/S -Robert Cosantin - 85 Mustang - 11.87 -.98 under

Round two of Stock is to lead off this morning at 8:45 - ClassRacer will be there for you ! !

Attention in the Pits - almost forgot - if you raced here at 1971 at the Winston Points meet go to the Winners Circle just before Noon to join in the group photo celebrating Maple Groves' 44th year of the race series.Don't miss this oppertunity to see some old friends and make some new ones .If you know someone who was here be sure to let them know.

It was mineshaft as more than half the field in stock went better than .85 under. Friday morning qualifier was -90' DA with a cross tail wind
