Hey guys, a quick video of Stock in the lanes and the return road. I will post Super Stock up later along photos later tonight. I see DRC has not posted Q1 for Stock or Super Stock, I will get one up later if they don't post. They just called SS to the lanes for Q2.

Hey Ken,
This is Ray Gottry, we met at Gainesville. I love your videos. I raced at Maple Grove in the eighties (86 - 89). Watched your video going thru the pits and didn’t recognize the place. It has changed a lot! Used to be a lot of gravel.
Have fun racing this weekend.
Ray

Ray, thanks for the Kind words.

Well folks, tear down is open for business... Cylinder head, bore stroke and carb/throttle body are the order of the day.

Talking Re: Live from NHRA Pep Boys Nationals @ Maple Grove

Good morning all - Yippee !!!! It's race day finally and Stock will lead off at 8:45 .Matchups - not a heads-up in sight and big handicaps there's a big one - Johnny Gray in his retro '69 Camaro AA/SA will give Bobby Bender driving his lumbering P/SA small block powered wagon about 5 bulbs and try to catch up.

Weather ??? It's gonna be another great day here at Maple Grove as the high is to be only 73 degrees with the temp now (7 am ) at 56 degrees .Seems the Dutch Classic weather came early .I'm sure Ken will post the full picture .

As Ken posted last evening teardown was open and worked late - I'm trying to get results ASAP .

The track conditions at this point were pretty good - during the last S/S class session I watched several competitors spin but that could have
been they were plenty hopped-up or the track with the Sun burning down in the mid-afternoon .

Later .................

Good morning all, and its a little cooler this morning. I will post the numbers below. 8:30 is the start time with Stock leading the way. The weather for first round should be quicker as the humidity and water grains are down from yesterday and the pressure is up.

Everyone got through the tear barn, and like Jack said it was a late night for some.

Weather numbers as of 7:30...
Temp 55
Humid 70%
Bar 29.53
DA 690
Water Grains 44
Wind calm
