August 4th there was a nostalgia race at Maple Grove. I entered the geezer class and finished 3rd. Lost in a double breakout to the eventual winner.



This weekend at Maple Grove is a Ford Fun Weekend Aug 18th and 19th. Reading PA



August 26th is a Ford show and race at Mason Dixon dragway in Hagerstown MD.



Here's some pictures.

From the side picture, that Opel looks like it would fit in the back of your truck.

The first day of the Ford Fun Weekend at Maple Grove was today. I don't know if the weather made the difference, but the truck was running a half second better than 2 weeks ago. We got 2 time runs and I had an 18.13 and 18.11. I dialed in at 18.11 and ran an 18.114. I let up at the finish so I changed my dial in to 18.08. I let up at the finish and ran an 18.16 but was still doing 75 mph. Normally I'm doing 73 mph. Last run I ran an 18.06 at 76 mph and still let up at the finish. I kept the spare tire on today. I bet if I'd stayed in it and had the spare off I could have been in the 17's.



Day 2 is tomorrow, we'll see what happens

Only went 2 rounds today. My best was an 18.02. Took a bunch of pictures to post.

At the end of the track, at the return road, there's a guy standing with a pair of binoculars. He's checking to see if your windows are still up, still buckled up, helmet still on. Do any other tracks do that? Maple Grove is the only one I've been to that does it.

The guy in the center of the photo is Roy Hill. When he walked past the truck he gave me a thumbs up.
