After a rain-shortened opening day of qualifying on Friday, it’s time to set the fields here in Reading and crown some champions. With only a small chance of precipitation in the forecast and highs peaking in the 70’s, it should make for a great day of racing. As always, keep your browsers tuned here for all the days activities!

Qualifying Notes
Pro Stock- John DeFlorian Jr. works at Jerry Haas Race Cars as a chassis man, built his 2012 Camaro in house. He earned the #1 spot at the end of 3 sessions here at Maple Grove with a 4.074, and then stepped up in round 1 and unloaded a winning 4.05. All round the wins kept coming in the left lane as run after run the winners recorded 4.10 times defeating 4.11s. When John finished his run, everyone knows who’s the man to beat. John D!
Extreme 10.5- A very short field of 6 cars made the show, as they are spread between Chuck Ulsch’s #1 at 3.903 to Lamar Swindell Jr.’s 4.191. According to class racer Todd Moyer part of the reason for the decrease in numbers is economics. “Just the cost in diesel fuel to get from Texas to Maple Grove and home is $2300. Add in entry fees, crew fees, and our new crew chief Joe Oplawski, and I have $4000. invested just this weekend. Some of the guys that run our class just couldn’t afford the trip.”
Pro Extreme- 22 cars made qualifying laps at the event, as Neal Wantye anchored the 16-car qualified field at 3.831/192.47. He matches up wth #1 Mick Snyder, who ran a career best in Q3 of 3.644 and took the #1 spot from Frankie Taylor. Taylor was hoping for mid-.60s out of his blown Corvette, and got it. He didn’t expect the car to go as quick during Q2, and maybe didn’t expect Mick to step up either.
Pro Mod-Mike Castellana sits atop the 8-car field at 3.845. During round 1 against Rickie Smith, Mike powered by Smith, who developed issues and coasted across the line. Castellana recorded a stellar 3.876 for the win and faces Edward Wilson in round 2.
Pro Nitrous-Burton Auxier scored his #1 on Friday, and withstood the best efforts of Jim Laurita and Robert Patrick Jr to name a few. Burton has a 3.825 to his credit.
