Back
in the pits, Dale Creasy's team was hard
at work getting his Fuel Funny Car ready for Round 1. |

The
Sportsman racers all work just as hard as the Pros, like
driver Frank Schuster and the Terenzio
Racing TA/FC team...

|
...and
team-of-1 Super Stock racer Brian Stianchi
from Edison, NJ. |
Stock
and Super Stock on deck in the pits... |
|

Funny Cars are on deck in the lanes.

Like
Jim Head's... |
...and
Kalitta Motorsports' Jeff Arend-driven
DHL entry. |

This
was a great site at a national event: that's Phil
Burkhart Jr. in the black shirt. He was at Maple
Grove driving the Boninfante Fuel Funny Car. I spoke with
Phil and he's a real class-act; I hope we see more of
him at future events.
