Re: Maple Grove Sold? You heard it from me!
I hate to say it, but the way that track is managed and taken care of at meets is the WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They call you to the staging lanes THREE HOURS before you get to run. Imagine sitting in a car in the sweltering heat and humidity in that valley for hours, not able to get out to go pee, or get a drink OR work on your car.
As far as I'm concerned, if it's sold, OK OK OK OK OK! Yes, it has history, but it's the WORST run track I know of on the East!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, Atco, is a close second to the worst run track I know of. Anymore, they just all seem to want the gate money. Fill the pits with weed-wackers, motorcycles, snowmobiles, kids in mini dragsters (that take 15 minutes to make a run) and who knows what else, then you're luckey if you get ONE RUN.
Ronnie's car has YET to go to a track where he could make more than 2 runs. That's no way to tune or set up a car. One or two runs at a time at different tracks with different weather and different starting line prep (read---NO prep) is no way to bring a car to it's potential.
I can't tell you how many times we've waited in the staging lanes to make a pass, then ran out of time for one reason of another, then just loaded for home. OR this past weekend's trip to Cecil, which had "Test & Tune" on it's schedule, only to find it was a Harley meet. No racing cars. The state cops had to break up that fiasco! Two trips to Atco, waiting again for the weed wackers to run, or the street racers (No time nationals), and getting rained out and loading for home. There's no GD place to go race anymore where you can get 5 or 6 runs to sort out the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't CARE if the Grove is sold. IT hasn't done us any good in ages!!!!! Fri nights the track is NOT prepared and every street tire car is filling the starting line up with everything stuck in it's treads.
I'm too hot to continue.
