Mid Atlantic .90 - Maple Grove June 29 & 30th

[BKSG1198]

Well Race # 1 & 2 didn't turn out the way we wanted with Mother Nature raining on the parade at Cecil County. We turn our attention to Maple Grove Raceway for the kick-off to the 2024 season. This will be a busy weekend as we will also be a part of their Sunoco ET Bracket Series Race. With that being said it's a 1 time run and go event on both days, I know some might not be happy about this but, it's the deal we had to make to get a date at the track.

Friday - June 28th, 2024
Gates Open at 4pm
Test & Tune (Open to everyone) for $50.00 from 5pm till 10pm, Crew fee is $15

Saturday & Sunday - June 29th & 30th, 2024
Gates open at 7am
Racing starts at 9am with Juniors

The track is setting the rotation for that weekend, but I have suggested that we run things like we used to at Atco where you did two sessions with the .90 & Top 32, Juniors knock out a good amount in the AM then start the other program at noon - 1pm but I haven't heard anything back from the track.

Friday, June 28th, 2024

For those who want to Park or Test - Gates open at 4 pm and racing starts at 5 pm for all Friday Night Test N Tune. Gates will most likely close at 10pm SHARP and you'll have to stack outside till the morning. If you are coming in for Friday Night to park, you will be charged a spectator fee ($15) but please go through Tech, we have a lot of racing to complete on Sat & Sun and can't promise a cleanup run if you miss a run if you are stuck in Tech. I get that we all run the LODRS events, with everything being done online but Maple Grove wants us to go through tech for our events. Racers may park at no cost from 8:30 PM to gate close on a Friday night (gate closing times may vary based on Friday Night weather and other unforeseen instances). Once the gates are closed at night, no racer, crew, spectator or fan may enter the park. Those racers or crew members arriving at the track once the gates have closed will be stacked in line until the gates reopen the next morning. Racers and crew members who have already been inside and wish to run an errand then return must have a ticket in order to re-enter at any time, (even after the gates close). There will not be any advance ticket sales allowed from fellow racers, crew members, etc. to allow an individual to enter for the first time after gates have closed. These parking rules will be strictly enforced

Racing Entry Fee for T&T and .90 per day: $50
Spectator/Crew: $15

Saturday & Sunday, June 29th & 30th, 2024

Gates open at 7am, racing will start at 8:30 am with Juniors for both days. A run order will be posted soon (PLease check the Whatsapp or the FB site for info).

BBQ will begin at 6:30pm - due to Saturday being a later day, we have asked Maple Grove to help supply the main course of food, we still will welcome sides & desserts from you the racers - THE BBQ will be located where my race operation is parked, due to us being with the bracket deal it will most likely be a ways down near the tech shack or in the field, the registration trailer will be parked in the Midway Area right by the shed that houses the track equipment and everyone parks their golf carts / pit bikes at. We will please ask for some assistance and help with getting set up and cleaned up before / after the BBQ.

As far as the 1 time run deal: Most of you very well know the 2024 schedule was a beast to put together, getting dates was a battle to the point the season was in high jeopardy of being canceled. Shane & I went back and forth on dates, we had a date set up that was suitable to host us and some other classes but unfortunately Cecil was hosting an event similar that same weekend which would have killed that car count for the other classes. Maple Grove is going to take a gamble and add us for this weekend's bracket race but the stipulations set forth were for 1 time run on both days due to the car counts planned for that weekend. If you need additional runs, you can run the T&T on Friday Night or enter the bracket race (bracket race is 1/8 mile) if you need numbers. I think if you ran the LODRS with the heat & humidity we had there, the numbers should be pretty similar to this weekend. Sometimes you have to make deals to get dates! The Maple Grove staff along with my staff will be committed to getting things completed - trust me when I tell you nothing hurts more than not finishing a race and I know Kyle, Shane & the rest of the crew feel the same way...nobody likes splitting points or having to issue rain checks or split winnings because a race wasn't completed. Communication will be relayed to you all and a reasonable run order created by Shane and his staff.

So sign up for WhatsApp and when we call ya please come to the lanes in a timely manner, don?t block the lanes for other classes, pull up to the cone so we can pair you all, and move down! Let?s all have a great weekend in June at the House of Chaos.

Run orders for this weekend at Maple Grove!

If you are coming in on Friday Night and paying for the full weekend, please go through tech, even if you are not running the T&T. We have a lot of classes, some of these classes only get 5-20 cars so they will be quick, and we will do our best to call you into the lanes with minimal downtime so you can make your runs and get back to the AC. I am also sponsoring water for all racers that will be at the lanes and at my trailer....STAY HYDRATED!!

Racers BBQ will be Saturday Night at 6:30pm at my M/H, Maple Grove is going to cater the night with Chicken Fingers & Pulled Pork Sandwiches, all sides and desserts are welcomed, I am going to try to park in the field near the trees, so it makes it a little more comfortable.
