While having dinner at the Division One Awards Banquet one January, I over-heard a MGR official, chuckling about the meager payouts given to winner of the Divisional categories, such-as TAD, TA/FC, and Comp, sating:
"..... our WEEKLY BRACKET RACERS win more at our Awards Banquet than these guys do, chasing points across the country!!!!!"
The now-extinct Bracket Racing USA Magazine picked what they considered the best-run drag-strip, and hardest-track to win at each year it was in-print:
Maple Grove won several years in a row, eventually saying "if you can win at Maple Grove, you can win anywhere!!!!!"

I only live 3 miles from Maple Grove the place gets full of race cars on a Sat. & Sun. for their Sunoco ET Series races. Only problem is if ya want to go just watch it's $20 bucks no wonder no one is in the stands spectating
If they charged $5 bucks it would be full of spectators and they would make it up on the food. Or like Beaver Springs $25 bucks a carload. Neat place though Maple Grove I went there when they only had one set of bleachers on the spectator side and pit side with a cinderblock timing tower with a sign that read Maple Grove DRAG-O-WAY Pipe
