Where'd Ya Go.... What Did Yo Watch?  

I went to Maple Grove on Saturday.

Very fortunate to know the owners of Maple Grove and they hooked me up for Saturday (rounds 3 & 4 of qualifying) which is when I like to go, so I got to attend this one for free thanks to their hospitality.  Thank you very much to the entire Koretsky Family.

Huge crowd, Excellent atmosphere.  Hard to explain the sensory experience when a Nitro Top Fueler or Nitro Funny Car sails by you at around 330mph...  (Can't experience it watching TV!)

It's also good to be able to walk around the pit area and see the teams readying their cars for the next session.  If you watch NHRA on TV, you recognize a lot of familiar faces - drivers and crewchiefs, all just by having a general admission ticket.

I look forward to going to the National event every year at Maple Grove, and now, with no more Englishtown, and Atco recently closing, Maple Grove is my go to dragway.   Might even try to get out there for the No Prep Kings event later this month:  https://www.maplegroveraceway.com/race-schedule/
