I think I'll pass, the last time I went to "Maple Grover" was back in 76'
that was a lot of miles for a one day trip... 333 miles each way, to be exact.
It didn't exactly leave a lot of time for fun.

The last test and tune day last year got packed. I only got 2 runs in. Hopefully it's different this year for everyone. I might go to watch. Car is broke again otherwise I would race.

So who wants to tell me the details of Maple Grove? I have only been there once and that was for Super Chevy, as a spectator, like 2 years ago...
What gate do you go in? How do the staging lanes work? How is the return lane setup? Where is the slip shack, if they have one? Do they have a scale? Do the have any sort of air pump, like if I air down the tires I drive in on can I fill them before I leave? you know the basics of a track you've never really been to. Thanks...

I added 1.6 full roller rockers, Pacesetter Race long tubes, ORY, and bullet muffler, Poly mounts, and new plug/wires type tuneup. Plus a little weight reduction, but nothing major yet since I still retain all interior pannels, AC, and all bumber supports and safety equipmentincluding I still have completely stock suspension and 2.73 gears...
Race weight with me and 3/4 tank of gas in the car was 3490 and I have a good 200+ on me.
Too bad I was only able to get one good run in at Maple Grove, but I finally got into the 12's...
60' 1.723
330 5.124
1/8 8.004
MPH 85.37
1000 10.503
1/4 12.628
MPH 105.85
And there is more in it with some more tweeking, but I have to wonder what gears would do for me...
