Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Any bets on the SS/AH record falling tomorrow at the Grove? I say Westcott goes in the 8.40 range at 160 in these conditions. There is a couple other cars that will be right behind him. Maybe high 8.30's???? The Hemi Shootout this weekend is a show that should not be missed. I don't care if you are or arn't a Mopar guy. Also Jerry MacNeish will have his new 1967 Z/28 running, I believe in D/S there also. A great weekend for drag Racing as long as it does not rain.https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

You gotta be kiddin' me...it's gonna be *over* 1036mb tomorrow! That track is what, only 200', cold air, and then that crazy high barometer? Friggin' mineshaft air...wouldn't surprise me a bit if Charlie stepped clean over the .40s and dropped a mid-high .30 in there! Or ever better! He had just an *average* barometer @ No Problem...you going? If so, grab some pictures...

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

I am hoping to make it out there for Sat. Hopefully the weather holds. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Westcott & Rains, first Hemi pair up...Westcott goes 8.424 @ 156.84 while Rains goes 8.466 @ 155.13...quickest Hemi pair to date! Couple pairings later, Daniels runs an 8.45 @ 145.9 to Pancake's 8.494 @ 154. Crazy fast today folks...

Also, Armstrong's SS/A 'Vette went 8.723 @ 152.62

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Sr goes 8.49 @ 159 and Jr goes 8.40 @ 157

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Westcott junior 8.38@157 and some change, Sr. went [email protected]. Some of the Barton cars were also in the mid 40's at 155 or so. The air was better then racing at Half Moon Bay or Fremont in the winter! A lot of Stock Eliminator cars were running real well also. Jerry MacNeish ran a 10.64 in D/S. Not bad at all for the second time out with the car. If he can run in the mid 10.50's tomorrow morning he may be able to set and back up the D/S record. And that is with a real 1967 Z/28 with a white interior. A great day at the drags! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

So Marlin is alive and well and still with us! You must have joined the Merchant Marines! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif Glad to see you back!

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Sammy, S/G is running right now...after that, the Hemi Challenge! Moved it up from tomorrow, 'cause of rain...better get to the cam if you can!

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

I am home baby sitting today! Unless Charlie Jr. breaks or bulbs the others don't have much chance! Did Jerry M. set the record this morning?

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

No...think he went like a .72?

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Westcotts roll...lots of redlights in 1st round...

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Jr goes another .38, Sr. had to drive around Barton on the big end for the win...Daniels & Pancake each draw the Charlie show.

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Its Jr. against the old man for the marbles? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Pancake vs. Jr, Daniels vs. Sr.

Looks like another possible all Charlie final...

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Please explain details of J.M. selling (and WHY) his "old" 67Z and building a new car.

Stick shift Super Stock cars I would think are the rarity now days. What kind of trans set-up would J.M. likely run.

My C/SM car back in the day used a Doug Nash 4 spd, but I'm not in the know on what current Stock Elim rules allow.....

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Jerry just went 10.689 @ 122.95...

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Jr spins & Sr redlights!

Pancake & Daniels in the final...

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

I guess he sold his old (restored) 1967 Z/28 cause the money was right. Why do most people sell? I also think he always wanted to run a car under his banner "Camaro High Performance" so he built a 1967 Z/28 because he is a "Z/28" guy to run in D/S. The Stock/Superstock guys use Jerico 4 speeds now Chuck. Yes they are somewhat rare but there is s strong following in Stock around DIV-1 for the Stick Guys.

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Evan Smith said on the broadcast he thought Old Reliable was a no sale @ $400k, and that he still has it... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

They both bulb, but Pancake moreso...-.012 to a -.005...ouch! Win to Daniels! Both go .47 @ 154

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Jerry still has Old Reliable.

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

It hard to beat Charley & his Dad. I have known the wescott family for along time . Just ask them!! When it gomes to S/S racing nobody is better!!

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Sammy are you comming to Vette Fest!!

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Yes I am Kim.

Re: Maple Grove Dutch Classics
 

Will try and set the NHRA D/Stock national record in the spring. Came within 0.08 on the second outing with the new car (10.56). 10.64 at 124.08 mph was the best past for me and that was 40 lbs heavy. The car will have to hook better than 1.461 for me to get the record. Had had a lot of nice comments from other racers about the new car at the Dutch. Was worth all of the time to build this new Z28 rocketship.
