Live from Maple Grove

Robbie Welch · 05-27-2021, 09:59 AM

Well even though we're in the same place it's time to focus on the Divisional race. As I've said we're in Maple Grove PA which has a reputation for rain at least some time during the race. Well its already fulfilled that obligation raining a couple times yesterday evening and night but it looks like there's more to come this weekend. I'm sure Div 1 will be able to get the race completed sometime this weekend but it looks like it going to be a wet one. Today there's a T&T and we start time runs and qualifying Friday so stay tuned.

Good Luck Robbie! I always liked racing there. Was stationed near Philly in the mid 80's so I got over there a lot. The drive to the track is beautiful. I don't think I ever won a round of racing though, LOL!

Robbie, looks like the rain that messed us up in Houston last weekend has moved up there. What a mess!
Keep us posted.

Some pictures from our train ride

Well this morning is starting out overcast and a cool 58. Watching the weather forecast this morning it sounds like the rain will be coming in this evening. Maybe we'll be able to get a couple rounds of time runs and qualifying in before it gets here. It looks like we start at 8:30 with Stk, S/ST SC, SG, TD, Comp, & TS scheduled for 2 time runs and TOP ELIMINATOR race. I would think that may change. Marty the Shady Maple is a must see at least once I've never seen a restaurant that big. The train ride sounds cool thanks for sharing. Thanks Ray MG hasn't changed much, its still a nice track. 1matcoman you could of sent it (the rain) some where else. hehehe

And then the rains came. Rained about an hour ago enough to stop us. It wasn't the big one and they are drying the track.

Robbie Welch · 05-28-2021, 03:08 PM

We're back to racing.

Well after calling cars back to the lanes they get comps run done and some of TS before a car hits the wall with a fire. I'm not sure who but the good news is the driver was out of the car and OK. Now its spiting rain and they just call the rest of today off. (Good call). We start again (weather permitting) tomorrow morning at 8:30.
