We
were on location, albeit briefly, at Maple Grove Raceway
for qualifying at the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series. We
were able to capture some Stock, Super Stock, Super Street,
Super Comp, Top Sportsman, Top Dragster and Pro Stock
Sled, at which point we had to leave for family matters.
Sorry to our friends in Super Gas, Comp Eliminator, Alcohol
Funny Car and Alcohol Dragster for not being able to capture
any shots of you.

It
was a picture-perfect day for racing at The Grove today! |
Stock
Eliminator is in the lanes, ready to hit the track... |

Our
friend Ron Infantino is strapped in and ready to go in his
flawless G/SA Camaro. |
Jim
Powers is all focus as he sits in his office. |
|
|
|
When
I said flawless I wasn't kidding: look at Ron Infantino's
Stocker as it waits with the Pre-Stage bulb on. |
Jim
Powers lighting 'em up. |

|
What
a beauty! The 1971 AA/SA Corvette of Bruce Noland from Leesburg
VA. |
|
Representing
the FoMoCo crowd is the hard-charging 1969 C/SA Mercury
Cougar of Bart Kilraine from Carrolltown PA. |
|

Steve
Calabro over there wheelstands his way to a 1-second-under
run in the gorgeous '69 A/SA Camaro. Index is 11.00; he
goes 9.999. |
The
new-gen Camaro stockers are awesome, like this one of 2013
FS/C of Victor Ricci from Easton PA. |
|
|
|
Why
do we love Stock Eliminator? For the drop-tops, like this
1969 G/S Camaro of Jim Roberts. Yup, it's a drop-top AND
a stick! |
|
|
|
|
This
is a time of intense concentration. All of us racers know
this moment, including Mike Epprecht. |
Mike's
Stocker is this unique 1994 Q/SA Caprice. |
