     2016 Dodge Nationals!
     Occasionally a photograph album gets lost inwards the shuffle.  Such is the illustration amongst the 2016 Dodge Nationals - Maple Grove batch of photos.  Since the 2017 result took identify over the weekend of the 24th of September, publishing this photograph article may involvement a few Maple Grove drag racing fans.
     I was working inwards Pennsylvania terminal autumn in addition to I decided to pass a 24-hour interval off at the Maple Grove NHRA drag races.  The 2016 result was at best a lackluster experience, because it rained almost everyday.  There were far to a greater extent than tractors amongst air dryers doing quarter mile runs than race cars, in addition to then at that spot was nix ameliorate to create than hang out inwards the pits.
     Most of the photos inwards the album were taken inwards the pit area.  Drag racing fans similar seeing close-up shots of their favorite machines.  The pits is also the best identify to run across the race machine drivers too, specially on a rainy 24-hour interval when they literally conduct maintain nix ameliorate to create than comport a few run across in addition to greets.  Oddly enough, I got to briefly run across the Dodge hand fuel driver, Leah Pritchett, that 24-hour interval in addition to she has since croak a superstar of NHRA Drag Racing.
     Occasionally at that spot was a flurry of activeness inwards the pits when the officials announced that the runway was dry out in addition to cook for racing, only unfortunately the pelting returned every time.  Standing roughly inwards the pits amongst no race activeness going on shortly wore sort of thin, in addition to then I headed on home.  Regardless, the 2016 photos that I took that 24-hour interval were shape aside till later.  Today was the best selection for publishing that batch, specially since the 2017 result turned out to last sunny in addition to dry.  Rain or shine, the racing must croak on!
