(Photos by Joe Grippo) –<\/strong><\/em>When it comes to cool drag strips, few places in the country can match Maple Grove blow for blow. We’re talking about a place with incredible history and a legacy that most tracks would kill to have behind them. The Grove has been a landing spot for some of the greatest competitors in the sport’s history and it continues to be a hot bed of straight line competition today. We were rummaging through photo files yesterday and realized that Joe Grippo had submitted this action gallery from a Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event at Maple Grove months ago and we misplaced it. Well, better late than never, right?<\/p>\n

Stock eliminator has been contested at every NHRA national event since the 1960 Nationals. It is one of the coolest classes in existence and both Chad and I love it to our core. Super stock came along a few years after stock and it has its own attitude and awesomeness with the large tires the car can run on their rear axle and more liberal engine modification rules.<\/p>\n

Long story short, here’s a fantastic collection of photos that’ll kick off a few days of sweet, sweet sportsman drag racing coverage from the lens of Joe Grippo.<\/p>\n
