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.

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...
