None of us have much love for MG. 
Me personally... My car is ready to go, but I hate racing in the heat, so the weather will be a major factor for me. I sweat like a pig in a hot car with black interior while the windows are up and wearing a helmet. Plus, I will hate to see how far my car falls off due to the heat as I usually run in the early spring or fall. Don't know what to do. 
It will certainly be a last minute decision for me, but I'll probably be there.

Still undecided... Same with most of my peeps.

Which hotel did you link up with and is it close to the track?
Thanks.
I am going to support the event, try a couple things and just have a good time! 
When we no longer have a mopar race on the east coast...

You know this is the same thing that happened to the E'town event. I was going to go but... Fill in your excuse here . I went to Englishtown to support the event while my car was being built and raced a street car, just to support the event.
There are some races you go to just to have a good time. I am being thrown in with Nostalgis Super Stocks like a red headed step child. They don't even want a E body there!
I will support the E'town event till the end, which seems close, But Maple Grove and Mopar Action are putting forth an effort to put on a good show and I hope it thrives! And I will try and do my part to help it. I just hope other moparts members do the same

This show has the possibility to be better than Carlisle.
They had it for a couple years. Enjoyed myself racing at every show and even sold some stuff at those events. Seemed to be growing and I even remember saying that Mopars at Maplegrove could eventually be HUGE! It could have been another Englishtown (in the good old days). In fact, I had hoped that it WOULD become a huge event simply because it was close to home. But what happend? Why did the show end? Why did it not thrive?

The last Mopar show at MG was almost 20 years ago.
As far as I know Maple Grove is under new management for the last couple of years.

You heard wrong, same people. That's kind of like saying they fixed the water drainage problem after NHRA Forced them to get engineers in and they did it their own way anyway and didn't fix the problem. I hear they are losing alot of regular bracket racers because of crappy track prep and the way racers are being treated.

I only race a few times a year but with the exception of the Friday night Grudge racing I would consider Maple Groves track prep top notch.
The main reason they are loosing regular bracket racers is due to the economy.
Anyone who never raced at MG and isn't sure if they should bring their car. You should bring your car. You won't be sorry. Maple Grove is a first class dragway. Like I said before most likely top 5 dragway in the country.

The show ended cause on Sunday they cancelled the event for the day. I was 3-4 inline behind the gate when they came to the gate and said they cancelled the event because it was supposed to rain. Well low and behold the clouds cleared and the sun came out and it NEVER rained. The magazine pulled sponsorship and no-one else picked it up. So yes it was basically Maplegrove's way of conducting business.
Would the NATS shut down for a day because of rain? Would Carlisle? I remember walking around the flea market at Englishtown IN THE RAIN. Maplegrove should NOT have called it off that day. Sure, no racing, but the flea market could have went on... And then the sun came out and was a beautiful day, so we could have raced anyway. Typical Maplegrove.

On another note Did Hemifred take a pass in the S & M Duster this weekend?

So I did not take any pic's on sunday.I'll have another much LARGER memory card for Carlisle 
I transported FULLMETALJACKET with his sweet 65 coronet and dragged my very close friend Ken with us also.We all had a GREAT time at the Grove 
, but a very good time! Thats Racing! And Frito and his stories... 
And a banner that members sign, what?? Next year!
I think I finally saw an ET on that badazz Coronet.

Are you thinking too much??Did you see the throttle stop??
cutting off a blue Challenger. We were discussing it later in the pits and he said "was that you" 
I loved it!!!!

My greatest sight was a BIG roll back with a certian black 65 Dodge running a stop sign and making a turn on two wheels,
I enjoyed our 10 second conversation
