Good morning friends and members - And brrrrrrrr- got to the high thirties last night - good sleeping weather for sure .Todays racers will be faced with some real challenges no doubt - dialing will surely be a crapshoot at best - we've not seen these temps since March - high today expected to hit only 61 but clear and sunny .You want numbers ? The barometer is a stinko 29.29 and the humidity only 48% with the temp at 51 -good news is the vapor pressure at the weekends lowest -.21 with a final DA of around 1000'.

Back a little later - the boss is still in so someone must cover today .....hmmmmmmm - guess you know who that someone will be .

Back a little later - oh wait , no trip tp Maple Grove is complete without a visit to the Shady Maple .You know - the 'pig out' spot that you end up eating way too much but sooooo good .

Jack and Ken: Super job this week end. Like all the others, I am grateful for the "up to the minute" service you provide, for those of us an a "Stay-Cation". If I get out to the Dutch next week, maybe a dozen of Dunkin's freshest might serve as a modest reward. Kenny: Good luck today!
I want to see you and Tom O' Loughlin in the final.

People in the grandstands...YAH

Kevin Panzino · 10-06-2014, 08:02 PM

Tons of People in the grandstands, tons. Very refreshing turnout. And as Jack mentioned, a huge amount of them stayed in the stands for stock and superstock. I heard a group of guys near me saying "holy crap look at how these cars are leaving".... In talking with them, these were guys who had been to numerous national events in the past and knew nothing of Super Stock... We got some major visibility at the grove this weekend.
