MOHNTON, PA -- Maple Grove Raceway is undergoing a facelift for the 2008 Racing Season. Prior to the season opening Test and Tune event on March 22, several improvements will be in place. Brand new LED Daktronics Scoreboards are first on the list of new items. These 20 foot long boards will feature red LED digits that will be much easier to see in daylight, and can also be viewed from a wider range of angles so that spectators close to the finish line will no longer find themselves straining to decipher them. No longer having to frequently replace burnt-out incandescent bulbs is another plus with the new LED Scoreboards.
Fiber optic wiring is second on the to-be-accomplished list. Bob Brockmeyer from Compulink Timing will soon be out to install this latest technology in track wiring. Maple Grove will officially be the seventh national event facility to feature fiber optic cables down the entire length of track. Utilizing fiber optics rather than traditional copper wiring safeguards the entire track and all connected components, such as the timing computer and tree, against the devastating damages that lightning strikes can cause. The electronic damage that used to plague Maple Grove's computer after lightening storms, will be one less thing to stand in the way of getting the show back on the road.
If this isn’t enough to dig up in one off-season, Maple Grove is also in the process of replacing the burnout boxes with new concrete.
These updates will improve the overall appearance and functionality of Maple Grove Raceway. With 90 days of racing planned for the 2008 season, Maple Grove strives to always remain in the top echelon of drag racing facilities in the country for racers and spectators alike.
